Sweet Travels

By: Saba Aamir Layout Designer

The long-awaited March week is quickly approaching and I know many of you are excited to get time away from the daily semester grind. But first, you need to pack. Whether you're going to the beach, taking a road trip or exploring a major city, these are some must-have travel items you should bring with you to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey.

Sunscreen

This is an everyday use item, so remember to bring sunscreen wherever you go. Especially if you are going to the beach or where you will be exposed to the sun for a long time, bring sunscreen to prevent the UV rays from harming your skin. I promise you will thank me when you come back without ruining your skin.

Small First-aid kit

When traveling, you never know what can happen so be prepared with a small first-aid kit in case of common medical emergencies. Some of the supplies that may be helpful include bandages, gauze, surgical tape, small scissors, antiseptic wipes, painkillers or patches and antibacterial creams. Of course, you can modify or include any more items based on your travel requirements.

Cosmetic Case

Not only will they keep things organized but they will also keep your toiletries from breaking or damaging your clothes. So, invest in a highly functional waterproof cosmetic case to prevent accidental liquids explosions or other products. Some cosmetic cases also provide space to hold your jewelry, which is a plus!

Luggage Tags

Bags frequently get missing while traveling but luggage tags make it easy to find your bags if it happens. Include your name, email address and phone number on all luggage tags. Additionally, they help customize and quickly find your bags at the baggage claim. This can prevent your bags from getting mixed up with someone else’s bags.

While these are the few items I picked as travel must-haves, you can add more based on your travel necessities. Create a list before packing to remember what you need to bring on your week-long vacation.

Sweet and safe travels!
