![]() ![]() that you may not necessarily want to leave out all day when you’re out of the room but you do need it. This is where you put your watch, spectacles, medicine you need to take when you get up or go to bed, charger, etc. ‘Bedside’ box or bagĪ plastic box with lid (aka tupperware) or drawstring bag that opens out is very useful for all the bedside paraphernalia. They are on the small side but it’s worth it knowing that it’s germ free. One of our team members dislikes using hotel pillows for hygiene reasons and swears by a little camping blow-up pillow covered with a nice cotton pillowcase from home. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve seen them everywhere as face masks but they’re also useful for your travels.Īside from a fashion accessory, you can wet it to wipe your face and neck if you’re hot or need to clean your hands, use it in a pinch if you cut yourself, tie your hair off your face, put ice in it for a bruise, put loose items into it as a makeshift bag, or tie onto your bag as an identifier. Bandanaīandanas or neckerchiefs are great. ![]() Pack a small power strip to plug into your country-appropriate adaptor and charge everything in one go. Not all places have several power outlets which can make it pretty tedious when you need to charge several things. Most of us travel with multiple electrical devices that require charging at the end of the day – phones, tablets, cameras, laptops, etc. ![]() They’re also great if you’ll be using facilities like a gym, pool, or sauna, or spending the day at the beach – just to put a few items in. Take one out with you during the day for shopping or carrying warmer clothing, great for the beach, or just to keep clothes separate in your suitcase. They’re lightweight, fold down to almost nothing, and are super useful. Just remember not to leave corkscrews or multitools with knife or corkscrew attachements in your carry-on baggage. Alternatively, you can take along a multi tool that has scissors and a bottle opener on it. If you might be enjoying an evening tipple in your room or are thinking of taking yourself off for a picnic, you’ll be glad you packed a bottle opener. Some hotels have them on hand, some don’t. Pack a small sponge or dish cloth for washing your travel mug and cutlery, and anything else that needs a wipe down, be it spilled make up or leaked shampoo. And they’re great if you’re getting onto a tour bus and will be sitting back and watching the world go by. Don’t have time to finish your coffee at breakfast? Put it in your travel mug and away you go. You can also take a travel mug with you for the day instead of getting take-away cups (not eco-friendly plus many places charge extra now if you don’t bring your own). Hotel cups are notoriously tiny and, if you’re someone who likes a proper mug of tea or coffee, or want to make yourself soup-in-a-mug, they may just be too small for you. Note: do not put the knife in your carry-on luggage or it will be confiscated! Travel mugĪ lightweight insulated travel mug is a useful item and doesn’t take up much space (put things inside it when packing). Carry it with you during the day too – it’s better than using plastic throw-away cutlery which is environmentally unfriendly. This may not be necessary if you’re only away for a night but it really does come in handy if you prefer not to order room service or would rather just buy a tub of yoghurt or pot noodle at the supermarket to nosh on (saves money). Pack a knife, fork, and proper size spoon. Aside from the obvious things like chargers, power banks, and toiletries, here are some of the random things our teamsters pack when they travel that you may never have thought of before.
