You are not making an overload burger. You are packing material for your travel. So just ensure packing only what’s necessary on your trip. Anyway, you will be buying some more apparels on your trip to bring back. Plus, you don’t want to come back from the trip saying “Arey, I never got a chance to wear this shirt on the trip”. That’s 1 for waste and 0 for space.

8. Organise your valuables – It’s common sense

Do not keep all your valuables in one bag. Imagine if you lose that one bag and all’s gone; you are stranded. Scatter it across all your luggage effectively, so that you have something to fall back on during the time of crisis.

9. Your itinerary – Share it with your family

This will help you in case of any unforeseen situations, and for some reason you can’t connect with your folks back home. Therefore, they might try to get in touch with you somehow either by contacting the hotel etc. to make sure you are safe. This is one of the important travel tips every traveller should follow.

10. Notify your bank – Something to bank on

Make sure you notify your bank that you will be travelling, and that you will be swiping your card at different places. Otherwise they might just block your card thinking these are fishy transactions.

These travel tips are no rocket science and certainly sound basic enough to follow. However, the main task at hand is how well we take care of ourselves, and our loved ones, during the trip. So, make sure you follow these travel tips, and I wish you a very happy and safe journey. Not travelling anytime soon? Never mind, my good wishes will find you in future ?.
