When I travel, I usually make sure to have a few essentials. I pack my passport and any necessary visas, a good pair of comfortable shoes, and a versatile wardrobe suitable for the climate. I also bring a travel-sized toiletry kit, a charger for my devices, and a travel guide or map for navigating. Plus, I never forget to carry some local currency or a credit card for expenses. If I’m heading somewhere with a language barrier, having a translation app or a phrasebook can be really helpful too.
