What you pack for Travelling

viciouskitty74 SG

Since most folks on Club30s are frequent flyers. I figure this might be reasonable reason to start a thread to discuss what to bring on any trip, to any country, against whatever climate & whatever situations.

Kuali Baba SG

Uhm…clothes, slippers, toiletries, camera, guidebook, some packets of tissue paper, packet of biscuits, money, passport. Add lip balm, moisturiser and a jacket if the weather calls for it.

YA.YA SG

Depending on the number of days iam away. When i was a young gal and could never travel alone i would pack as much as a i can but now i pack as little as i can cos of SHOppiinngg.. Pjs 2 sets to be its maximum and undergarments to be changed everyday.... jeans, 3days= 1 pair and shirt everyday change!!! Laughing

Wanda SG

The most unusual thing I had to pack was toilet rolls...lots of them...when I travelled to Pakistan (no paper provided). Razz

choco B SG

I've learnt not to pack PJs cos I wear hotel robe or T shirt, which is more practical Laughing

soulwinner SG

mochou SG

ShrodingersCat SG

Ooh. did u go for trek or urban tour?

cos I am going pakistan in June probably.... hope i dont have to bring rolls and rolls... Razz

Wanda SG

Ooh, lovely. I hope to go back one day, with SO.

I went backpacking on the Karakoram Highway long time ago...from Islamabad to North west China. No serious trekking involved, except for a day trek somewhere. You don't have to bring toilet rolls if you use water. Mr. Green They always have water in their toilets which are ok lah.

the Bear SG

as little as possible Laughing

ShrodingersCat SG

hee i am going to the rakaposhi trek.. the tour also takes us to the karakoram highway Very Happy

i need my toilet paper.

good thing they have donkeys

Wanda SG

Donkeys? To help with carrying all the toilet rolls? Laughing

How many days is your trek? Some friends of mine are going in June to climb K2... the name alone gives me acute mtn sickness already. Razz

viciouskitty74 SG

Oh yah, handphone charger, camera battery charger, re-use-able battery charger & multiplug.

This time round, I finished packing my luggage for Perth in less than half an hour! Laughing Basically, I was too lazy and unenthusiastic to think much so I kinda followed Bear's guidelines! He said something like 5 tops and yada-yada so I just followed!

Anyways, this trip wasn't pre-planned so even though it's Autumn, I only have Summer clothes with me and one Winter jacket. Rolling Eyes I know I'm not appropriately dressed but I'm not going to buy more clothes now.

I think if one's travelling to a developed or developing country, one needn't worry too much about basic toiletries. I tend to like to prepare travel-sized toiletries instead of bringing along the entire tube / bottle.

What's really necessary would be the Passport, Spending Money in the country's currency, and the Visa / Mastercard.

If the country of destination is a good place for shopping, the less you pack, the better! Wink
