Pen: A pen is a must-have. When travelling, you will definitely have to fill some forms. Rather than borrowing from others, it is best you bring yours and keep it in an easily obtainable place to make things faster.

COVID-19 Essentials:With COVID-19 vaccinations on the rise and travel restrictions easing up all over the world, there's a good chance you're looking to plan a trip after spending the majority of the past year at home. While you probably can't wait to visit friends and family that you've been social distancing from or explore a new destination that you've been dreaming about you may still have some reservations about how to get there safely. Face Masks are mandatory. Have a few extra ones with you. Along with masks, carry a few pairs of gloves, too. A pair of gloves will definitely give you that extra protection from contracting the virus. Always have a packet of disinfectant wipes, which are essential these days. Use the disinfectant wipes to wipe down your surroundings. If you are travelling in an aircraft, wipe them clean the back of the seat in front you, meal tray table, arm rests and every surface around you that could have infectious droplets. Carrying a bottle of pocket-sized sanitiser is equally important. It helps to avoid using sanitisers kept in public places. Use it every time you touch a common surface.

Debit card or Credit card: One of the essential parts of travelling is making necessary payments. Either at the airport, hotel, restaurant or just for shopping in general. You don’t want to get stuck. Always move with your debit/credit card and have a nice amount of cash with you in case of anything.
