The suitcase essentials to avoid being caught off guard

How to pack the perfect suitcase for your trip

First of all, gather together all the information on the places you intend to visit: temperatures, altitudes, visas, behavioural rules, recommended vaccinations, risks of infectious and environmental diseases.

Consider the climate conditions: in case of drastic temperature variations the solution is to dress in layers. Choose functional clothes that are easy to wash and don’t need to be ironed, and comfortable shoes that are preferably already worn in.
Don’t forget to pack a bar of Marseille soap: you and your clothes will always be clean and fragrant.

Your packing essentials: medicine and hygiene

Set up your own travel pharmacy: a small and essential supply of medicine to keep in your hand luggage, if and to the extent permitted by regulations. Don’t forget a broad range of antibiotics and medication to relieve the symptoms of “traveller’s diarrhoea”.
If you have chosen an unexplored destination with a not very organised travel style, it doesn’t hurt to have a few rolls of toilet paper, in case of emergency.
Bathrooms may not be supplied with it and, if you have minor injuries, you can use it to stop bleeding.

Make sure you never lose your best memories: take a camera and battery charger

Get your kit ready to bring home fantastic photographic memories. It doesn’t matter whether you have a camera, action cam, smartphone or drone, just don’t forget your charger (also extra batteries and power-banks) and memory cards with plenty of space. With these things, too much is better than too little! 

Your suitcase essentials: tissues

After you’ve packed your passport and wallet, tissues come next in the ranking of essentials, as they are ideal allies for any emergency:

• You can use them as a glove to avoid coming into contact with surfaces where germs and bacteria reside
• You can wrap food in it to eat on a hike; Foxy tissues are actually guaranteed for contact with food 
• You can use them as a seat cover if you need to sit on a dirty surface

Perfect, you are ready to go and enjoy your unique holiday. Your perfect suitcase is ready to go with you.
