Traveler's checklist

Packing is usually stressful: you have to finish work, remember to print out reservations, download maps and apps, and charge your gadgets. At the same time, don't forget to put the essentials in your suitcase We've compiled a universal list of everything you need to check before traveling. Of course, the checklist may vary depending on whether you're traveling to the sea or the mountains, winter or summer, for two days or two months, alone or with kids and a dog. Nevertheless, we have tried to give some general advice

The most important thing

Passport The most important document on your trip. If necessary, travel authorization to other countries is added to your passport

Tickets Electronic versions are better to download to your phone in advance, so that there are no difficult situations when there is no Internet

Data on booking accommodation When booking hotels, sites send electronic confirmation. It is better to save it and present it at the hotel. Sometimes your hotel details are asked at customs. When traveling on a package tour, of all the documents, you must print out a voucher. It is desirable in three copies

Insurance, OMS policy When traveling to other countries, it is better to take out medical insurance, if this is not done by the travel company. You can do online, will send it to your e-mail

Cash Even in developed countries, there are plenty of places where only cash is accepted

Phone Preferably fully charged

Headphones We do not want to disturb other passengers on the road

Adapters Sockets in other countries may differ from ours. Check in advance. For example, in India or the Dominican Republic you will need adapters. Although you can always try to ask at the front desk. Tourists often forget them or leave them as extra cargo. Of course, they may require a small fee

Extension cords There may be only one or a couple outlets in the room. If more than one person will live in the room, the extension cord will avoid unnecessary disputes and fights

Chargers One charger is not enough for all gadgets at once. It is better to put several in your luggage

External battery Study the information about what capacity of powerbanks can be taken when boarding an airplane in other countries

Camera This item is relevant for professional photographers and lovers of quality content, which will not allow you to create a smartphone. The camera will need lenses, tripods and other additional devices. Some airlines require to put the technique in the luggage

E-book A great gadget for reading lovers who do not want to weigh down their luggage. An analog is a smartphone app with books already downloaded. In some countries, hotels do not provide Wi-Fi, and even buying a local SIM card may not save you from boredom

Personal hygiene products

Toothbrush, toothpaste. Items should be packed in hand luggage, if a night move is planned

Ordinary and wet wipes

Cotton swabs

Shampoo, hair mask, conditioner

Cream. To save space, you can buy a universal one for face and body. If the trip is long, it is better to put the usual set of care

Shaving kit

Washing gel, tonic. Do not forget about them, the skin poorly tolerates the change of climate. Thorough cleansing of the skin is the key to its health

Deodorant. You can pack it in your hand luggage. Aerosols are stowed in the luggage compartment

Scissors, nail file in a case, so as not to hurt yourself or damage other items

Sunscreen. The warmer the climate, the more seriously you need sun protection. Even above the Arctic Circle, you can get burned instantly

Decorative cosmetics and makeup remover

Perfume. In order not to accidentally break a beautiful bottle, you can pour the contents into special atomizers. And remember: on board the plane in hand luggage can not take containers with liquids more than 100 ml. Unless they are purchased in Duty Free

Hair dryer. Not all hotels have one. They sell compact versions that take up little space, but are powerful enough to perform their direct functions

Now stores sell care products of familiar brands, but in mini formats that fit the requirements of hand luggage, which is convenient. You can buy empty bottles, pour the necessary shampoos/conditioners/tonics/creams into them

First aid kit

Clothes and shoes
