My Travel Must-Haves as a Solo Traveler

Traveling is always fun and exciting. Here's a quick peek of what's inside my travel bag.


cellphone/iPod with waterproof case. My phone will not just let me connect with my friends and loved ones back home but will also provide entertainment just like the iPod while traveling. It is very important for a phone to have a pouch bag that is waterproof as it keeps my phone safe wherever I am.

Check out this cool Universal Waterproof Case I found on Amazon.



camera with extra memory card. I used to have that big, silver cannon camera as you can see in my previous travel photos. But a handy camera will still serve its purpose especially when you need to save some space.

adapter/Charger. When you've traveled overseas then you already know that every country has completely different plugs. These are the things I check first to make sure I have them ready on the day of my trip.

Looking for a great Adapter & Charger All-In-One?





care kit. My travel-sized toiletries that includes soap, shampoo, wet wipes, sanitizer, repellants (optional), toothpaste, toothbrush, femme alcohol, lotion, sanitary pads and feminine wash. I usually add my nail cutter, eyebrow liner, lip balm, moisturizer and sunblock cream inside this bag. Some items like soap, shampoo, cotton buds and even toothbrush are being provided at the hotel or you can easily get them at your destination but it is wiser to bring your own so you don't have to worry about them.

Please always remember the 3-1-1 rules for carry on liquids and gels. 3 ounces or smaller container goes to your carry on bag and more than that should be in your checked in baggage. 1 quart sized, clear, zip lock bag to hold the containers. 1 bag per traveler.

water bottle. I like the idea of bringing my own water bottle especially on long trips. I can save my extra cash and time for buying bottled water and makes me earth friendly too.

travel pillow set- Be it traveling by air or just sitting in a car, couch or train, an inflatable neck pillow that can be folded neatly is always useful. There are sets available now that comes with a sleep eye mask and ear plugs like this Travel Pillow.





sarong or mandala. Though the mandala is more stylish, I prefer to bring my sarong. I use it as my blanket, as towel, cover up, sheet and many more. It's very light and dries up easily.

portable luggage scale. If you are good at estimating the weight of your stuff (like me) then you don't need this one. A very useful scale to carry if you want to save yourself of the embarrassment for removing items from your luggage in front of people at the airport.

medication. I tend to get headaches when I get too much sun exposure so I make sure to bring my necessary tabs.

snacks. Who would want to go somewhere without some munchies?
