When preparing for a trip, it's easy to focus solely on the essentials. However, there are a few non-essential items that can significantly enhance your travel experience without taking up too much space in your suitcase. We've curated a shortlist of three must-have items that you shouldn't overlook on your next adventure.
Essential vs. Non-Essential Items
There are some items you simply can’t afford to be left without when travelling.
But the chances are, if you’re about to embark on your trip, you’ve already packed the basics such as your clothes, travel documents, and your SPF. We won’t go over those again.
However, there are some non-essential travel items that, although you may not need them, will enhance your travel experience without taking up too much space in your suitcase.
1. Portable Devices
You should always have your phone on you when travelling – it’s useful for:
- Communication
- Navigation
- Grabbing a few holiday snaps
But you may also want to consider bringing a bigger screen too, such as a laptop or tablet.
With devices like this, you can:
- Write on the go
- Watch Netflix en route to your destination
- Simply while away the hours with solitaire like it’s 2005
You can also use it to catch up with work or focus on your studies if you’re taking an online degree.
These portable devices are also a great way to read on the road and are far more convenient than carrying a number of hefty tomes in your suitcase.
