There are more and more smart girls traveling alone these days. No matter what happens, these kinds of exciting trips will always be an asset in life. The role that travel plays in imparting knowledge about life and the world is not small.

When it comes to solo trip, most people think that it is easy. But it is not so. There are many things to keep in mind when traveling alone. The biggest challenge is preparing the carry-on bag. Does it mean that you need to carry all your belongings, but can’t carry large luggage? Here are some smart tips for such people.

Choose the right bag

The first step is to choose a good backpack to carry with you. It should be light weight, water resistant and convenient to carry. It should also have multiple compartments that are easy to open, and the bag should have compartments to quickly grab essentials like phone, wallet, passport, camera, sunscreen, and water bottle.

Wireless power bank and Wi-Fi

A wireless power bank is needed to keep the phone battery from running out in the emergency situations. Same goes for internet connection. Having a fast mobile data plan or portable Wi-Fi can make things even easier. Internet is essential for sharing location with loved ones, checking flight status, booking accommodation and using maps.

Travel size products

Does anyone take the half kilo bottle of shampoo at home with them when they travel? It is more convenient to buy products in travel size. Buy shampoo, body wash, lotions, other skin care products, pastes and soaps all in travel size. Also carry a safety pin for essentials. It is also easy to store all these items together in a separate pouch.

Shoes and jewelry

Packing jewelry and shoes to match each dress separately can add weight. So, be careful to choose only one or two pairs of sandals and jewelry that go well with every outfit. The same method can be followed while packing clothes. Go for lightweight clothes that can be paired in multiple ways. You should also pay attention to whether these are comfortable to wear.

Sanitary pads

Menstruation while traveling is very difficult. But just in case it won’t happen, don’t forget to pack enough sanitary pads. Menstrual cups can also be carried.

First aid and sunscreen

Sunscreen is very important to protect the skin while traveling outdoors. Also, keep a separate pouch to carry medications, antiseptic lotions, liquids, band-aids, antacids, and daily use medications like aspirin.
