Things you should not bring when traveling for a long time

Luggage is an important item when traveling far away. Below are some items you should not bring when traveling or going away for a long time.

 

You should travel light on vacation, that is the advice given by most travel experts . Suitcases full of clothes, bags and bulky luggage can really become a burden and ruin your vacation. The most important thing is not to bring the following useless things on a long trip.

 

A pile of underwear

Experienced travelers advise against packing too many pairs of underwear: on summer vacations, we usually wear swimsuits. And underwear can always be washed, even by hand. So it's better to leave a pile of your favorite underwear at home, and instead, take just a few pairs or buy disposable underwear.

Electric Toothbrush

Another way to save space in your suitcase is to think carefully about the electronics you bring. For example, instead of an electric razor or epilator, pack a regular razor when traveling. Instead of an electric toothbrush, pack a regular toothbrush, since the electronics themselves and their chargers take up a lot of space.

 

Passport cover

The garish accessory fad seems to have gone out of style. Apparently the leather case prevents documents from being scanned at the airport, and constantly taking it off and putting it back on is a pain.

Also, not all leather cases are of high quality, many do not protect your passport from sunlight, moisture or scratches. Furthermore, they are often bulky and do not fit in your pocket. Therefore, it is better to keep your passport intact and take better care of it.

 

Big umbrella

Large umbrellas are not recommended for travel because they are bulky and inconvenient to transport. They take up a lot of space in luggage and are difficult to carry when traveling.

The solution is simple: buy a compact umbrella, which is cheap even in tourist shops. Then you can give it to someone before you go so you don't have to carry it. A raincoat is also a good choice. You can fold it up and put it in your bag or borrow it.

Spare sneakers

Experienced travelers advise against packing sneakers in your suitcase, as they weigh around 2 pounds (900 grams). And you'll have a hard time wearing sneakers on the beach. If you find them necessary, wear them on the road.

Big wallet

It's definitely not convenient to travel with. It needs to be stored somewhere. In the digital age, people carry less and less cash. There are card holders, and a bulky wallet is like a magnet, where you want to stuff something useless just to fill the space. However, the longer you go, the more compact it is. So avoid carrying it.

Wide-brimmed hat

First of all, it's a challenge to fit a hat like this into a suitcase. Plus, it's bound to wrinkle there, and it takes up too much space in your carry-on. It's better to choose a narrow-brimmed hat.

Large bath towel

Large towels take up a lot of space and take a long time to dry. If you're staying at a hotel, you'll need them.

Hair curler

Few people know that on some cruise ships, the use of hair stylers or curling irons is prohibited. The reason is fire safety. Moreover, these devices take up quite a lot of space in your suitcase.

If you want to show off your styled hair on vacation, it's best to bring hair rollers with you.
