According to researchers, time spent traveling reduces a person's age. The thirst for learning something new always leads to a rejuvenating effect. All kinds of tourist programs, hikes and excursions relieve you of routine and everyday life, broaden your horizons, help you make new friends and acquaintances, and renew your taste for life. In anticipation of a vacation, you want to quickly put aside boring things, forget about everyday life, arrange a holiday for yourself and go somewhere to the ends of the world - to the sun, sea and palm trees.
Parting words
To ensure that your future journey does not transform into a test of the strength of the body and the strength of the nerves, you should be well prepared, because any road is stress for the body. Let's try to figure out what to take with us on a trip. The list of things for the trip can be very large, so we select only the most necessary ones. Everything else can be purchased on the road for money.
Holidays with a baby
If you are planning to go on a trip with your small child, do not forget that vacationing with your baby is very different from traveling alone, because how comfortable he will feel on the trip depends primarily on you. It should be remembered that children do not like to sit for a long time in a cafe or lie on the beach, or long car trips - they are much more interested in moving and playing. What to take with you? The list of what to take on a trip with a child depends on the age of the child and the place where you are going with him. If the child is small, then first of all you need to take diapers and food that is usual for your child, even if the food can be bought on the spot. When deciding what to take on a trip to the sea, don’t forget about panama hats and sunscreen for your baby’s delicate skin, as well as the usual baby cream. Small child He will feel more comfortable if he has his favorite toy with him.
List of things for traveling with a baby
If you are planning to travel with a baby, here is a list of what you need to take on your trip for your baby:
- Documentation.
- Swimsuit or swimming trunks, as hotels do not allow children to be naked in the pool.
- Bottles, spoon, closed plastic containers so that you can take food when going to the beach or for walks.
- Bibs.
- Water for drinking.
- Cream with sun protection factor at least 30.
- Pampers, several diapers.
- Wet wipes in large quantities.
- Swimming circle, sleeves.
- Beach towels if not provided by the hotel.
- Clothes, hats, shoes.
- Medicines.
- Baby soap and shampoo.
- Pot.
- A camera or video camera for capturing interesting moments, as well as chargers for them.
Another one necessary thing on the list of what to take on a trip to the sea is an inflatable pool. It is indispensable on the beach when the sea water is still too cool or when the sea is stormy. The water in it will quickly warm up, and the baby will be able to splash around, launch ducks and boats. And parents will receive a temporary respite, without, of course, letting their child out of sight.
When going on a trip with a child, parents always hope that he will improve his health, learn a lot of new things, and get vivid impressions. This is only possible if you think everything through in advance. To avoid losing sight of your child in a crowded place, dress him in bright clothes. Buy a small trolley suitcase on wheels or a small backpack for your baby where he can put his toys, books or sweets. Having your own baggage develops a child’s sense of responsibility.
What to do with your child on the road
To prevent their child from getting bored on the road, parents often wonder what to take on a train trip. Before your trip, buy: cardboard books, construction sets, magnets, a small drawing board, multi-colored pens or pencils. The main thing is that they are interesting to the baby, do not fall apart and do not get lost in transport.
In addition to new toys, you need to take one or two of the usual ones that the baby loves. Another component of luggage is treats and always a bottle of drinking water. All kids love bright and rustling objects. Unwinding wrapping bags is a fun activity for a child. Very necessary thing on a trip - wet wipes: children love to take them out and wipe everything they see.
First aid kit for the road
If you have a long trip to a previously unfamiliar country, it is better to prepare medications in advance, before the trip. The first aid kit will not take up much space, but everything you need will always be at hand. Listed below are medications in case of any unusual situation. The list of what to take with you on a trip, what to leave behind is up to you, depending on the place where you are going.
- Medicines for treating abrasions and wounds: bandage, plaster, iodine or brilliant green, hydrogen peroxide.
- To neutralize insect bites, you should take psilo-balm. For sprains and bruises, fastum gel is useful.
- To free yourself from nervous feelings and heart pain, you should take validol on the road. In addition, validol dissolved in water will help with itchy skin.
- Remedies for fever and headache based on aspirin and paracetamol are required.
- In case of allergies, the first aid kit should have “Suprastin”, “Lorantadine”, “Agistam”. Anti-inflammatory medications such as Strepsils, Falimint, Sebidin will be needed if you have a sore throat.

Here is a minimal list of what to take on a trip abroad, what you will need in a foreign country.
- 2-3 swimsuits (one for the beach, one for the pool).
- Light dress or sundress.
- Linen trousers or a suit made of light fabric.

- Windbreaker, a warm sweater made of wool and sport shoes- for hiking in the mountains.
- Comfortable shoes for walking.
- Hat, Panama or cap, sunglasses.
Necessary things on the train
When going by train, we collect the things that we need to take on the trip according to the list: a change of shoes and clothes, a towel, soap, a comb, wet wipes, toilet paper, toothpaste and a brush should always be at hand. It would be good if they were in a separate package. On a long train journey, you should take flip-flops or slippers, this will make the ride more comfortable. What else should you take with you on your trip? The list will be complemented by an MP3 player, which will perfectly help pass the time on a trip if you download a lot of your favorite songs, but before the trip you need to recharge it or take a replacement battery. For those who like to read, an e-book would be an ideal option; it will be a great help on the road, as it takes up very little space, and reading it is convenient and comfortable.
Food on the road
Among the products you should not take those that have a very persistent smell that can be smelled by the entire carriage. Also, do not buy products that are too greasy or crumbly, so as not to stain your clothes and litter around you. It is better to give up sweet soda, it does not quench thirst well, a bottle of clean drinking water without gases - best option on the road. You can buy yoghurts and curds for the trip, but you need to eat them on the first day of the trip. Various flatbreads, buns, pita bread, baked pies are perfect for satisfying hunger, especially if they are made with apples, cabbage or jam. You can stock up on crackers, cookies, and gingerbread, which are perfect for tea. You don’t have to worry about the calorie content of foods; your body spends much more calories on a trip than it consumes. If you love cheese, it is better to take it in individual packaging. You can also take muesli, dried fruits, tea or coffee bags, nuts, fruits, candied fruits.
Let's go on a camping trip
Summer is a great time to travel. Many people go to conquer mountain peaks or enjoy the beautiful summer landscapes. For tourists who prefer active recreation, with a backpack on their back and spending the night in tents, a special list of things is needed. In order for the hike to be successful and without surprises, there must be a map of exactly the route that needs to be taken. It is better if it is 500 meters (1 cm = 500 m). With it you can find your way around the area, find springs and places to spend the night. You can't go hiking in new shoes. Otherwise, swelling of the legs and calluses will appear. Shoes need to be chosen in your size only with a reserve for warm socks. Sandals are suitable for changing shoes. You can wear them in camp or walk on flat terrain. All clothing should be carried in a waterproof bag to protect it from moisture.
Required Items
A mug, spoon, bowl, knife - you can’t do without them on a hike. The tent must be waterproof and windproof to withstand heavy rain and strong winds. The tent must consist of two awnings, the upper awning is waterproof. The bottom one is a mosquito net with a waterproof bottom. On any hike, a flashlight is simply necessary; being away from civilization and electricity, you can’t do without it. In addition, you need to take with you: adhesive tape or electrical tape, a needle and thread, lacing and ropes, a folding knife. With their help you can repair any thing or object.
When planning a trip, of course, you should make a detailed list of what to take on a trip for a week or more long time, but the most important thing is not to forget to take with you a sense of humor and good mood, and then any trip will only be a joy.
Few people like to pack their bags, even if they have an exciting journey ahead. Start preparing for your trip in advance; there are things that should not be done the night before departure. These include: issuing bank cards, purchasing currency, choosing an international communication tariff, copying documents, washing clothes, purchasing medicines. Make a list of things and pack them properly. Act according to plan and then you will have time to do everything and will not forget anything.
We pack our suitcase. List of necessary things
List of things you need for your trip
To maintain lists, there are ready-made interactive tables with standard options; you can create your own Excel table and save it on your computer or use mobile application. I write lists by hand on A4 sheet, mark what I have collected with pluses, and cross out what is unnecessary. Do what is convenient for you, the main thing is that you can not only look at your list, but also interact with it. A well-written list will come in handy on every trip. I have two basic lists: summer and winter, there are not many differences in them, because... The principle is the same - all things are divided into categories.
Documents and money
It is better to keep money and documents separately. When traveling, it is convenient to have a hip purse or pocket-wallet, which hangs around the neck and is not considered a separate piece of hand luggage.
- International passports. Save copies of all passports on a virtual disk (Yandex, Google), you can make photocopies. There is no need to take a Russian passport when traveling abroad
- Medical insurance (can be in electronic form)
- Flights. Print boarding passes for online check-in
- Driver's license, international driver's license. If you are driving your own car: documents for the car, green card insurance
- Hotel reservations, confirmation of apartments and other types of accommodation
- Your notes: route, phone numbers, addresses, contacts
- Money on credit cards, cash in rubles and foreign currency. Divide into several parts and place in different places
Medicines
At chronic diseases take the medications your doctor prescribed for you.
- For headaches
- Painkillers
- For indigestion
- For spasms
- Aspirin

- Toothbrushes and toothpaste
- Razor and shaving products
- Comb
- Wet wipes and disposable handkerchiefs
- Shampoo, shower gel, soap. Give preference to 2-in-1 products and single-use packaging. Keep in mind that most hotels will have this all in the room

Technique
Before traveling, check and charge all devices and clear memory. Don't forget to take chargers, extra batteries, rechargeable batteries and adapters. To protect your mobile phone and other important things from moisture, there are waterproof cases.
- Mobile phone. Set up a favorable tariff plan for the duration of your trip.
- Camera/video camera with memory card
- Laptop, tablet (if you need them)
- When traveling by car, a navigator with loaded maps. Can be replaced with a tablet or smartphone
- Hairdryer (if the hotel does not have one and you use it)
Cloth
Take complementary items: several T-shirts with one pair of trousers and shorts. One hat, one pair of outdoor shoes, a jacket, sweater, etc. Give preference to comfortable clothes, do not take high heels, evening dresses and jewelry. Leave room in your suitcase for shopping.
- Several shifts underwear
- Headwear according to the season
- Outdoor shoes and slippers. Don't buy a new pair that hasn't been worn yet; it can rub your feet. In the cold season, it is very important that your shoes do not get wet; treat them with a special product

Other
Things that do not fall into the category, for example:

Fees
When all things are laid out, you can start collecting them. Divide your things into 2 parts: what you will carry with you (carry-on luggage) and what you will check in as luggage.
Suitcase You should never hammer it all the way. Firstly, you may be overweight (most airlines have a baggage allowance of up to 20 kg). Secondly, it will be inconvenient for you to look for your things or get them at the request of a customs officer. Thirdly, you will not have room for souvenirs and other purchases.
Pack all liquids in tight bags, distribute clothes, shoes and other contents evenly; most suitcases have a special pocket for underwear. Many people advise rolling clothes, I fold them in a pile, filling the gaps with hosiery. Organizer covers help you neatly place and protect items inside your suitcase. Place a foldable bag with a zipper on top; if you are overweight, you can put some things into it and then use it for going to the beach or shopping.
There are always things that need to be packed at the last minute: house keys, phone, food for the road. Mark them separately on your list so you don't forget. To protect your suitcase from dirt and mechanical damage, you can wrap it with film or buy a beautiful cover, with which your suitcase will be visible on the luggage belt.
Take a list of the things you planned to take with you, it will help you not to forget anything on the way back.

When all things are laid out, you can start collecting them. Divide your things into 2 parts: what you will take with you (hand luggage) and what you will check in as luggage.
What to put in your hand luggage
We put everything valuable (documents, money, phone, etc.) in hand luggage. E If you are flying by plane, then there should be nothing sharp or liquid in your hand luggage. And also, something that may be useful on the road:
- napkins
- comb
- mirror
- pen
- magazine or crossword for leisure
- water
Baggage
We put everything compactly in a suitcase. To prevent things from getting wrinkled, I roll them up like a sausage. In my opinion, there is less space and the view remains good. The suitcase should never be stuffed all the way. Firstly, you may be overweight (most airlines have a baggage allowance of up to 20 kg), and secondly, you will probably buy something for yourself or your loved ones.

Why 4-5 sets of underwear at sea????
- Maria
Well, if you walk around in your underpants for a week, I feel sorry for you.
- Anna
Isn’t it fate to do the laundry? What could be easier than washing your panties or socks in the evening...
- Anna
- Maria
- Olga
Yeah! And I mean the same thing! Minimum... Mine: 1 swimsuit, 1 skirt, jeans, jacket with sleeves, 2 T-shirts, robe, ballet shoes, flip flops. You can buy the rest there. Medicines: coal, noshpa, Nurofen, Linex. The rest: glasses, phone and camera. I’m generally silent about the docks :)))) How can you forget them!!!???? All sun creams for and instead can also be bought on the spot!!!

- Alisa
There are a lot of things, we also need a porter)).

I agree, why 4-5 sets of underwear???????
- Kate
If only because people have to change their underwear every day.
- Kate
- Katerina
Fuck at least! 3-4 swimsuits and a pareo for each? Why?! 2 swimsuits are enough, and only for beauty in the photo! I also agree about the laundry, 3 is enough, after all, there is water, we know how to wash. An umbrella... you can take it on any beach. And what about cosmetic products? Why are there so many of them? Gel shampoo, balm, and sun protection and milk after. That's enough!
- Kate
You have been provided with a list. You can choose from it what you need
- Kate
- Zhenya
I also take a minimum of things, now I don’t need cosmetics at all - tattoos, eyelashes, nails - everything is done before the trip and you can forget about cosmetics. The only thing I don’t go to sunny countries without is Panthenolspray (I take only the European one, it’s orange with a smiley face and contains dexpanthenol). I’ve read a lot of articles, they don’t write anywhere about remedies for burns, but the sun at sea is different and for me personally protective equipment they don't save.
- Alyonka
I agree with you that Panthenol doesn’t help my burns, just like yours, gels and creams don’t help.
- Alyonka
- Daria
So why take a lot of underwear there? Why take so many things? I don't understand.
- Alyona
What if you meet a guy at sea? And he invited you on a date and you will wear the same evening dress????????????????????
- Nastya
Well, who came for what... take all yours evening dresses, well, what if
- Nastya
- Maria
For what??? So many things. I'm freaking out.
- Marina
Thank you for the list, it really helped me decide, I chose what I needed for myself)))
- Mila
Everything has already been checked. I took 5 pieces of panties, but made do with two, since you can wash them right away. And sometimes things weren’t all useful... I’m for the minimum!!!
