Are you planning a trip? Consider the following travel gear fundamentals to help you pack smartly and have a safer, healthier and more enjoyable journey. 1. A decent Travel gear should be easy to draw behind you and carry. It should have handles on the top and bottom, as well as a side that opens. Also, baggage should be immediately identifiable as yours, so consider using bright colours or at the very least attach a recognised but not easily torn off the ribbon, sticker, belt, or tag to it. Some duffel bags and rolling luggage feature parts that may be stretched by several inches by just unzipping a zipper, which is particularly useful when travelling home. 2. A small first aid kit, a water purification bottle, and your prescription prescriptions in properly marked bottles should all be included in your basic travel health pack. Bring any over-the-counter medications you might require, such as antacids, pain relievers, diarrhoea medicine, jet lag medication, sleep aids, and so on.
