5 Items To Never Forget When Traveling!
By Liz Kaadou
Passport - check. Camera - check. Airline Ticket - check. Cell Phone Charger - check. Rubber Bands - huh? While you may thoroughly think you have the ultimate packing list pretty perfect, the truth is there are a few essential, ingenius items that deserve a destination on your to-do travel directory. Let's face it, aside from clothing items and technical gadgets, do you really pack anything for those unexpected adventures that accompany almost any trip? Here are five forgotten about items that will transform your travel bag from regular to resourceful!
1) Rubber Bands - as odd as this sounds, these boundless binds are the perfect fix-it travel companion. They can be used to hold together broken zippers on luggages or purses, keep your travel documents securely in place or even hang your clothes up to dry! Make sure and pack a few different sizes!
2) A Travel Journal - why not write about all the wondrous sites you witness? Keep a log of your daily activities so years down the line you can remember all of the amazing memories! It is also completely practical- you can keep track of cities, phone numbers, exchange rates and anything else you may need to know when visting a new country or city!
3) Water Purification Tablets - you may be surprised how handy these pills prove to be! Since your body is accustomed to certain bacteria from where you live, it is very difficult to drink the water in other countries. One bottle of these tiny tablets is plenty to purify up to ten gallons of water!
4) Hand & Feet Warmers - these ingenius heat pads fit right into your coat pockets or sit securely in your shoes. They are superb for cold nights in new cities where you have to walk to find transportation or a bus station. They are also perfect for camping.
5) A Lock - If you ever travel and stay in hostels, having a lock will help protect your travel documents and personal belongings. Since most hostels do not offer a way to lock your luggage up, investing in a handy lock will make your travels much easier.
