Travel Necessities for your carry-on

If your work keeps you on the road for a major chunk of the time, you need to be prepared to rush out at a moment’s notice. Here’s a list of travel necessities that you must have in your carry-ons.

• Eye mask and ear plugs

Sleep is essential on trip whether it a business or pleasure. However, finding a cozy room with a comfortable bed is hoping for too much. An eye mask along with a pair of ear plugs and maybe a neck pillow is the best option to catch a few winks during your travel.

• Copies of all your important documents

Your ID is required at various stages of any trip. It is advisable to carry copies of all the IDs you’ve got. Make sets of them, ready to be handed out whenever required instead of waiting for them to be copied.

• Universal adapter

With the plethora of electronics you carry, an adapter is a travel necessity you cannot do without.

• Personal toiletries

Whether you expect to be put up in a luxury hotel or not, it is wise to carry a set of toiletries.

• Book/music

Traveling can get boring or unpredictably long at times. Carry your favorite tunes with a good pair of earphones or a book to while away time.

• Medication

Always carry a set of OTC medications for common ailments like, pain, flu, cold etc along with your prescription ones. Hand sanitizers or anti-bacterial wipes are also great for unforeseen situations.

Keep a set of these travel necessities in your carry-on so that you can just pick it up and leave at any time.
