I always get confused when i start prepare to travel to somewhere for getting necessary things and always do some mistakes. It may be a short tour or a long tour we have to take every necessary things with us. But how to prepare is the important matter to concern. Whether it is the location or the atmosphere or how you travel..It is always a big question.

There are some online guides to what to take with you. I prepare myself a lot, sometimes surprising my fellow travellers, because I'd be the only one with a sewing kit in the team.

Its common sense - you risk having your clothes torn. :) So you take that with you. Better a stitch then new clothers. :) Its experience also.

i think the most important thing is the pocket money for your food and accomodation... aside from that you must bring the needed ones so that you will never have a heavy bag to bring..hehehehe

well but it is good to have a heavy bag than anything as it may be a trouble but it really helps when you need anything at home . It good to have your need at your feet.

Hi, Before go for travelling,get ready all the information of the country that you would like tp visit. You can simply buy a guidebook or look for information online. It is pretty convenience. Then get ready the tickets and accomodation before the trip. You may search for the tourist spots and also best food to try out during your holiday trip. Of course, you need to standby your own luggage and other belongings that you may need during your trip. For I myself, I always get ready my luggage and other necessary things one week before my trip.I prefer to get things ready in advance rather than last minutes packing.

Yes medicines are very much important than anything when you travel out. As we can not have those when we are out . so we should take those with us.

I tend to buy a travel guide book for my destination. Like last year I had 'Cape Town and the Garden Route' and this year I got 'British Columbia'. I didn't just get books on the whole of South Africa and Canada. I buy travel insurance that has excellent cover for just in case. I exchange some money so I have a small amount of the local currency. I buy a pair of ear planes so my ears don't hurt on the plane. My packing is either for a hot country or a cool country. Like when I go to a tropical island I take my snorkeling mask and my beach shoes. When I travel to a city I take a map of it. I take my backpack, day pack and my handbag. I think a money belt is essential. I like to have a bottle of water to drink. I always have my camera and some memory cards ready.

Yes travel books help a lot when you are travelling out to a new places and it really helps. And apart from those it is good to have medicines as they are not available at out.

Besides the travel documents necessary, I always make sure that I have all the medicines I need to take regularly , because those medicines may not be available in the places I will be traveling to, depending on where I would be going to. That is essential for travellers.

The most important thing is to make sure that you have all your documentation ready. If you are flying you will need to have your TSA information in your reservation 72 hours before your flight, otherwise you risk being delayed or being denied boarding. Know before you go is my motto and what I tell all my travelers.

There is quite a number of things that I will prepare for travel and I started packing based on my daily needs (such as my specs) and the location + atmosphere will determine my choice + quantity of clothes to bring. The next would be what I need for my travel (including the necessary documents such as passport and ticket and medicine), if it's a leisure trip, then my camera is a MUST bring. But for business trip, that will depends on what is required. Thus, my way is to categorize into groups, then based on the priority and start packing.

wallet, id,basic clothes, and be sure to do some research on the place you are going to. That will prepare you want you need to bring. If you are taking medications, put your pills in your purse so that you will not forget it. When we travel I always packed at night so I will have plenty of time to think the things that we need.

Wen i travel by plane i always try to go sleep deprived as it allows me to sleep on the plane. Also have a note that says you dont want to be woken up for the terrible airline food. Another thing is to have some sort of mousturizer ready for after the flight as the dry air always dries out skin.

When I was in my college days we always travel in other part of our country to have a seminar and it takes two to three days that's why I always write down the things that I need to bring. You can also do it if you will travel. I prepare all the things that I wrote the night before the travel and in the morning before I go I check it again. I always bring Extra clothes and the things that I need for hygiene like toothbrush,toothpaste, soap, and extra towels.

When it comes to preparing your needs for traveling, it's only you who knows about what to prepare. Probably the best thing that you can do is to know the climate to where your destination is, then you can start by making a list of your basic and important needs and add up the things that you will need based on the location. Making a list will surely lessen the possibility of forgetting something. I myself, always have it one week prior to the time of needing it, so there still be time to counter check it. Have a nice day.

Packing the right clothing for travel is a major necessity. It is always a wise decision to make a list of things you will need while you are away. Check things off on your list as you pack. It makes for a much more pleasant trip when you don't forget something at home.

hello.. when we travel, we should first ascertain what is the weather of the place where we are going to, the terrain and all the necessary data which would help us prepare for our travel. if we already know that, then we have to make a list as to what we will bring with us, only those which are necessary so that we will not have a bulky baggage. it would be easier for us if we bring toiletries with small packaging..to make it easy for us to carry. when we travel, we must really prepare for it, so as to bring only the necessity and not to have too many baggages, which will end up not being used at all because they're either not suited to the climate or the location you are going to.
