5 Things you should always have when travelling

Travelling overseas can be very daunting and scary, but not to worry ! If you have these 5 things around it should ease the stress and you can just enjoy your trip to Paris to see the Eiffel tower or to Egypt for the pyramids.

1.) A power stripThere are few things worse than getting to your hotel room to only find one outlet. You're left to choose between having a lamp and alarm clock or charging your devices. That is, unless you bring your own power strip.

2.)  Portable power banksWhen travelling, you're likely going to be using your phone more -- pulling up boarding passes, looking up places to go and directions to those places, keeping in touch with friends and family back home and so on. Plus, you might be in and out of coverage areas, which can drain your phone's battery faster than usual.
3.)  An empty bottle
You may not be able to make it through airport security with over 3 ounces of liquid, but no one said you can't bring an empty bottle through TSA and fill it afterwards.You never know when your flight will be delayed, leaving you with nothing but overpriced airport water.

4.) Trash bags or plastic bags
Bringing trash bags in your suitcase may seem awkward. Hotel maintenance tends to empty the trash before you could ever fill up a trash can or bag.
However, you won't be throwing garbage in a trash bin. Instead, you can use spare trash bags to separate dirty clothes from those that are still clean in your suitcase.

5.) A universal plug adaptor
You don't want to find yourself travelling abroad without a plug adaptor. If you go anywhere overseas without an adaptor, you will be hard-pressed to charge your devices without buying an expensive adaptor. You'll thank yourself if you do so before you leave, as it will save you a lot of stress and potentially money.
