Also, make sure to have enough clothing for both. For plane travel, make sure to bring extra socks, underwear, shirt, and pants.

If you're planning on staying somewhere longer, you might want to think about bringing along a few changes of clothing. You won't feel awkward when you shop for new clothes.

Comfortable shoes are a must if you're going to be taking the train or bus. And if you're driving, you'll need to ensure you've got a spare set of tires.

Be sure to pack all snacks and drinks securely.

So you don't have to worry that they might get damaged on the road.

Are you concerned about what you might lose when you travel?

Yes, I often forget stuff. This is most common on short trips. But luckily, I always have everything with me, so I never run out of anything.

My passport is one example. Also, I always make sure that I have enough money before I purchase tickets.

Also, my phone charger is always with I. To store any other items, I keep them in a small bag.
