You’re packed, but are you ready to go? Do you have absolutely everything that you will need for the next few months travelling around the globe? Here are a few things you really shouldn’t forget. When you’re still in the planning stages of your trip you should get yourself comprehensive backpacker-specific insurance. Health and safety in many countries you’ll be visiting is your responsibility so make sure you’re prepared for the worst. You may only ever need plasters and painkillers, but you should still keep a first aid kit in your hand luggage, in case you are hit by something more damaging. You’re likely to suffer from ‘Delhi-belly’ whilst you’re away and not just in India either. Toilets and sanitation are likely to be unsanitary so keep re-hydration sachets and Imodium tablets to hand. No doubt you’ll take a vast number of photos whilst you’re away; probably more than you can deal with and definitely more than you need. So instead of cropping and deleting on the move, periodically download them on to memory sticks and keep copies for yourself and send copies back home in the post. You will avoid losing your image library and spending costly hours in Internet cafes painstakingly choosing which ones to save and which to discard. Save this job for the comfort of your bedroom back home. Your passport is arguably the most valuable item you will take with you on your travels so guard it with your life. However, just in case something does happen to it, keep a photocopy in your hand luggage, stored separately from the original. It’s also worth keeping details of your flight connections and numbers to call if you lose or have you bankcards stolen. You may feel a head torch unnecessary and it is most definitely a ticket to loserville, right? Well you’re wrong. This small, inexpensive piece of kit can come in mighty handy in a variety of situations. From reading on a dark night bus to finding a safe route to the toilet on the campsite, you will be surprised just how useful a head torch can be. Finally, carry your hand luggage in a rucksack not a handbag or shoulder bag. You will probably walking long distances, hiking through rainforest, and climbing mountains and a rucksack is far more practical than a handbag. Also, you can carry these over your shoulders on your front, which although looks a little geeky is the safest way to transport your passport and money.
