Tips for traveling abroad

These are just a few tips or suggestions I have when traveling abroad.. and some things you will need to bring:

-bandaids!!!! if you are walking you WILL get blisters especially if your shoes are new.. but even with old ones, you will need them

-antibiotic ointment (to go with bandaids)

-tissues (you may get sick out of the blue like i did, but don't worry if you don't bring them you can always steal napkins from restaurants like I was)

-Medicine- for common colds and anything you may be prone to

-comfortable sneakers

-correct converters. take note if your normal plugs are two or three pronged. Most laptop chargers are three pronged so make sure you get a converter that will support both 2 and 3 prongs

-a raincoat- I felt that whether you bring an umbrella or not.. you should really get a raincoat or just a simple rain shell. They fold up really easy and don't take much space, but WILL keep you dry

-an umbrella- of course for reasons stated above.. it will probably rain (especially if you are going some place like Dublin or London)

-rainboots- this counts under all rain gear

-an alarm clock- even if you have your phone it is good to have an alarm clock just in case

-a REUSABLE water bottle- if you are staying anywhere for a length of time, it is essential and will save you loads of money! Trust me

-a small over the shoulder purse- I do not know quite how to describe this so I will attach a picture of one

now it does not have to be as fancy as that, it can look more like this: I just wanted you to get the picture

-Purex 3 in 1 detergent- to save you time and money i suggest buying these amazing things "Purex 3 in 1" They are amazing, don't take up a lot of space and you can even separate out how many you will need

-a small plastic container- if you are going to be taking lunch with you anywhere this is also a must

-sunglasses

-good toenail and fingernail clippers

-a pumice stone if you are going to be doing a lot of walking

-a nail file

-plastic baggies

take note- some of these things depend on how long you will be staying in an area. These were all important for me because I was staying abroad for a long period of time.
