What should you bring on your first trip?

by Grape

Know your destination:For your first trip, you need to know where you are going. Check the weather, customs, and whether you need to get vaccinated or wear specific clothes. This way you will know what clothes and accessories to bring!1. Clothing:You need to bring more than one piece of clothing to avoid running out of space. You need to consider light, warm, comfortable shoes, swimsuits, and clothes for formal occasions.2. Toiletries:Travel-sized toiletries are small and convenient. You need to bring shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothpaste, and razors. If you are flying, liquids must comply with the airline's regulations.3. Medicines and first aid:You need to bring your commonly used medicines, as well as first aid supplies such as Band-Aids and disinfectant wipes. In case of any minor problems, you can deal with them.4. Travel documents:You must bring all your documents, including your passport, driver's license, and visa. It is best to print out an electronic version of your travel insurance, flight, and hotel reservations, as well as emergency contact numbers, in case of emergency.5. Money:Bring some local money in case of emergency. Don't forget your credit or debit card. A wallet or neck bag that can protect your money and passport is safe to carry when you go out.6. Electronic products:Bring your mobile phone, charger, camera, and computer. Don't forget to bring an adapter, otherwise it will be terrible if the device cannot be charged.7. Entertainment:Long-distance travel is boring, right? Then bring a few books, download some music or movies to pass the time.8. Snacks:Bring some snacks so that you can eat them when you are hungry on the road. It can also save money! Especially when you encounter flight delays, expensive food or few choices, snacks are a lifesaver!9. Miscellaneous:Small things such as reusable water bottles, travel pillows, and lightweight towels can also help you on your trip.Packing tips:Rolling clothes can save space and are not easy to wrinkle.Organize your luggage with storage bags to make it easier to find things.Don't bring too many shoes, two or three pairs are enough, more will take up space.Liquids in carry-on luggage should follow the 3-1-1 rule: each container should not exceed 3.4 ounces (100 ml), and all should be packed into a quart-sized clear plastic bag.In general, don't be too nervous about packing for your first trip. With a little planning and some tips, you can easily get it done! Don't forget that the most important thing about traveling is to enjoy the process, not to always think about the things in your suitcase!
