We've all experienced that moment of panic on the way to the airport or already at the destination when we realize we've forgotten something crucial at home. Either due to pre-trip excitement or last-minute packing, it often happens that we forget basic but important things. Here is a list of 10 items you should always have with you on vacation.
Things like a phone charger, medicine or even a toothbrush can quickly slip off our packing list. How can we avoid these common mistakes? Here is a list of 10 key items that you should always have with you on holiday to make your holiday truly carefree and free of unpleasant surprises.
1. Phone charger and portable battery It's hard to believe how often people forget about chargers for their devices. Make sure you have a portable battery in addition to your charger so you can charge your devices on the go.
2. Adapter for electrical sockets: If you are traveling abroad, check what plugs are used in the country you are going to. Adapters are essential if you want to use your devices.
3. Copies of personal documents: It is always a good idea to have copies of your passport, driver's license and other important documents. You can keep them online or in your luggage, just in case.
4. Medicines and first aid: Don't forget the personal medicines you take regularly and basic first aid such as plasters, painkillers and antiseptic.
5. Sun cream A sunburn can quickly ruin your vacation. Protect your skin and always carry sunscreen with a high protection factor.

7. Towel: The microfiber towel is light, quick drying and does not take up much space. The ideal accessory for any holiday.
8. Comfortable clothes and shoes: Always pack comfortable clothes and shoes that you can wear for exploring or long walks. Fashionable clothes are great, but comfort comes first.
9. Book or magazine: For long flights, waiting at airports or lazy days on the beach, a good book or magazine is indispensable. Don't forget headphones for listening to music or podcasts.
10. Snack and water: Always have some snacks and a bottle of water handy. Long journeys can become more bearable with some snacks, especially if you are traveling with children.
Packing for a vacation can be stressful, but good preparation can help you avoid unpleasant surprises. Next time you're heading out on a trip, skim through this list to make sure you've got everything you need. Enjoy a carefree vacation!
