Smooth sailing
You’re packed, but are you ready to go? Do you have absolutely everything that you will need for the next few months travelling around the globe? Here are a few things you really shouldn’t forget.
Before you leave home, in fact when you are in the planning stages of your trip you should get comprehensive backpacker-specific insurance. Many of the countries you will visit think health and safety is optional so you the responsibility of dealing with any accidents, illness or losses will fall heavily on your shoulders, so make sure you are prepared.
You may only ever need plasters and painkillers, but it’s essential that you take too many precautions when it comes to your health so keep a first aid kit in your hand luggage. You’re likely to suffer from ‘Delhi-belly’ and not just in India either, so keep re-hydration sachets and Imodium tablets to hand.
No doubt you’ll take a vast number of photos whilst you’re away; probably more than you can deal with and definitely more than you need. So instead of cropping and deleting on the move, periodically download them on to memory sticks and keep copies for yourself and send copies back home in the post.
You will avoid losing your image library and spending costly hours in Internet cafes painstakingly choosing which ones to save and which to discard. Save this job for the comfort of your bedroom back home.
Guard your passport with your life because it is the most valuable item you will take with you. However, be prepared and keep a photocopy in your hand luggage, stored separately from the original. It’s also worth keeping details of your flight connections and numbers to call if you’re bank cards are lost or stolen.
You may feel that taking a head torch is a little unnecessary and most definitely a ticket to loserville. However, this small, inexpensive piece of kit can come in very handy in a number of situations. From reading on a dark night bus to finding a safe route to the toilet on the campsite, you will be surprised just how useful a head torch can be.
Finally, carry your hand luggage in a rucksack not a handbag or shoulder bag. You will probably walking long distances, hiking through rainforest, and climbing mountains and a rucksack is far more practical than a handbag. Also, you can carry these over your shoulders on your front, which although looks a little geeky is the safest way to transport your passport and money.
