We carry all the electronics in a Travel Case from Amazon. It’s compact and easy to carry, keeping everything safely in one place. 

Anti Theft Products

Padlocks – Not lovelocks. 😉 You need them to lock your stuff properly. Better to be safe than sorry. Keep an eye on your luggage at all times is the best advice we can give you, from our own experiences.

Medicines Kit

These are a few general medicines like Sinarest, Vicks, Boroline, Bandage, Balm etc. that we carry always. You can alter them as per your needs. It’s not necessary that you will use them during the trip but better to have a small medicine kit in your luggage.

3. Waterbottle, Snacks – An empty water bottle and some snacks to munch on. Carry the empty water bottle in your day backpack always.

Footwear

Comfort is of utmost importance when it comes to footwear. A pair of good travel shoes can be worn for hours at a stretch. It should be compact, lightweight and comfortable.

1. Leather Boots or Sandals/Flats – Boots go well with any outfit and also keep your feet warm when the weather is cool. I prefer black/dark brown color so that it matches with all my travel outfits. If you are not a boots person, carry a pair of comfortable sandals to wear with your outfits.
2. Flip Flops – If you are staying in a hostel, you definitely need them. Even otherwise, a pair of flip-flops is a must.
