Every time I travel (be it domestic or international flights), I always make sure to bring a hand carry bag with me. Having a hand carry baggage not only makes your travels easier. You get to be entertained and you get to have a comfortable flight. So without further ado, here are the top items I get to bring in my hand carry bag.
TOP ITEMS IN MY HAND CARRY BAGGAGE
1. For international flights, I always make sure to be ready with my passport, money and valid ID’s. Your passport will be your ID every time you pass by immigration. Your personal information that you have to fill out will be in your passport as well. Just make sure to have a soft copy of your passport in case your passport gets stolen. Having money is also important since this is what you will use to buy food and other necessary things.
2. Medicine. If you are the type of person who gets sick easily when traveling, it is best to bring your own medicine so as to avoid going to the hospital. I don’t get sick easily but I always make sure to have my own medicine. It is better to be safe than sorry.
3. iPad. My iPad entertains me when I get bored in the plane. I could easily watch my favorite shows and movies and even read my favorite electronic books.
4. Power Bank. I learned my lesson the hard way. When I was travelling to Kalinga, I had a power bank with me but it was not enough for my phone to last the whole trip. Instead of taking a lot of pictures using my phone, I had to limit the usage of my phone so that it can actually last the whole day and be able to charge it once I reached the homestay. So, always make sure that your powerbank can last in your travels.
5. Phone. When I travel, I always make sure to have my phone with me. When I travel within the Philippines, I use my phone’s camera instead of bringing a bulky camera. When I get to travel to international destinations, I use my phone to contact my loved ones through Viber.
6. Camera. It is a MUST for me to bring a camera when I go to destinations outside of the Philippines. I can’t just keep on using my phone camera since this will eat up space. Having a camera helps me take better photos and capture the beauty of the places I’ve been to.
7. Jacket. I aint a scarf type of person. A jacket helps my body cool down and I get to sleep comfortably when in the plane.
8. Beauty Kit. Before you land, of course you want to feel fresh and clean. I usually would make sure that my hair is in good condition, have some light makeup like powder, mascara, chapstick, and eyebrow pencil.
9. Extra clothes. Having extra clothes in your handbag is important because you want to make sure that ifever the airline lost your checked in bag, you can be certain that you have extra clothes to change to.
10. Snacks. There are some airlines that don’t offer free snacks. So, you might as well bring extra.
