Travel Items That You Don’t Actually Need

It is really a burden for some travelers in packing and deciding what to bring when traveling. Bringing unnecessary things when travelling will only give you the hassle and extra fees in airlines, gives you an awkward moment in public transportation and inconvenience in crossing streets or towns.

Here are some items that you don't actually need when traveling and for sure it will give you a relief and less hassle:

Valuable and Jewelry

If you have this kind of stuff, I tell you, you really don't need to bring one. If you can't afford to lose your jewelry or laptops, then better not to bring one. It will only attract thieves around you, or better yet there's possible that you might misplace it.

Travelers Check

Most of the banks are no longer willing to cash it out. It is expensive and difficult to redeem, so travelers don't need this kind of check. International ATM networks are the most convenient way to access your cash, so better get a debit card that you can use without charging you for using other networks or get a credit card that has no foreign charges.

Too many clothes

The hardest part of traveling is when packing your clothes, deciding what to bring, and being ruthless with the clothes. Especially girls? They love having options or having OOTD, but it has to be done. When traveling, for me, it really depends on where you are going. When you planned to go hiking, 3-5 shirts will do, hiking shoes and slippers will do, undergarments, necessities, and pants. You really don't need to bring your whole wardrobe, as long as you are comfortable in what you are wearing and you are good to go.

Hair Dryer/Straightener

You really don't need to bring any hair dryers, or straighteners when traveling because it will only give weight on your bag. Some hotels actually provide hairdryers and some are not, but it is not really necessary to bring one. It can also waste your time that could be spent enjoying your vacation.

Paper Guidebooks

In modern days, travelers no longer bring paper guide books because all information about a place can be found already online or can be downloaded through smartphones or tablets. Some depend on their tour guides. Some travelers use Google maps or Waze for navigation.

Towel and extra toiletries

If you will be staying in a hotel, there is no need for you to bring these things because hotels provide all the amenities that you need while you are staying with them. You can bring these things when you go hiking or camping.

When travelling you really have to be wise about what you are going to be bringing to have a hassle-free vacation. Mentioned above are the things that you think are necessary, but actually, it doesn't. And, it's really up to you if you will be following these tips above or not but take these tips as a heads up.
