Whoever has gone on a trip with us will know how we emphasize on nomads going through their packing checklist few days before the trip and also the phone calls they receive from us a day prior to the trip to go back to their checklist so they don’t miss out anything.
How would you feel if you got to the airport only to find out you forgot something really important at home? It can be really frustrating as it can cost you your time and of course extra money. If it is something that can be purchased anywhere, you might be sure to get it at your new destination or even at the airport but don’t you think it will even be more painful to buy another one at an exorbitant price?
Check 5 important things you should never forget when going for a trip.
INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT
Without your international passport, how is it possible to travel out of the country (via air)? Definitely not possible. The travel passport is the most important document a traveler needs before embarking on a journey. It doesn’t kill if you check a 100 times just to be sure you have it ready. Traveler will not find it funny when they get to the airport and realize they dropped it on their bed while packing other things.
FLIGHT TICKETS
Tickets are also another important document to have when traveling. Though not everyone prints out this document but it is always advisable to have it printed out. Many people prefer to show their ticket to them at the counter on their phone which is quite okay (everyone wants to go paperless). But what if something unfortunate happens to the phone at that moment (lol!).

GADGETS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE CHARGERS
To many people, their gadget is their life (Am I right?). As much as a lot of people can’t do without these electronic devices, some still forget to leave the house with it. The moment one realizes it was not packed in the hand luggage before leaving the house, one becomes destabilized. For many travelers who prefer to work remotely, it is very important to be double sure gadgets are not left out. Also, while packing the gadgets in your bag, it is very important to take the chargers along.
PERSONAL MEDICATIONS
It might be very risky for a traveler with health issues to forget his or her personal medications. If as a traveler, you know the state of your health, your medications should be your priority. Always ensure you have all the necessary medications that will take you for the duration of your stay available in your bag. No one will be held responsible for not having the medications but you.
DEBIT CARDS/CASH
Debit card is one of the important things to always travel with. Many people don’t go around with cash when they are on vacation so they prefer to use the debit cards. But what happens when a traveler forgets this card at home? Then the vacation will definitely be ruined, especially when he/she does not have enough cash. As much as it is important to travel with a debit card, it is also important to have enough cash with you just in case your card is not available or maybe compromised. CASH & CARD are important, not CASH or CARD.
