Hygiene
Other items
Toothbrush/toothpaste –
Keep your morning
breath for the morning.
Deodorant & shower gel/soap –
Don’t let people
smell you before they see you.
Sunscreen –
Sunburn isn’t fun. Don’t get sunburnt.
Prescription medication –
Only if prescribed to
you (obviously).
Baby wipes –
Always useful for a quick freshen up
or to clean tables/door handles etc.
Makeup –
I’m not saying you need it, but if you
normally wear it then you won’t want to leave it
behind.
First aid kit –
Pack a (very) small bag with plasters
for walking blisters, antiseptic wipes/creams for
minor cuts and anything else you might need.
Book/Kindle/Headphones –
Travelling from A to
B can be boring, especially if there are any delays so
keep yourself occupied and frustration free.
Sunglasses/cap –
Keep the sun out of your eyes,
the cap also has the added benefit of protecting you
from getting a sunburnt bonce.
Towel –
For the beach. Where you’re staying might
not like you taking theirs.
Padlock –
Most hostels will provide lockers, but
some may require you to use your own lock.
Eye mask and ear plugs –
Because the only thing
worse than being woken up by someone turning
the lights on in the hostel dorm after a late night out
is being woken up by the monotonous snoring and
occasional bout of flatulence from another bunk.
