Travel Essentials for Men?

General

Sup folks…

I’m gearing up for an upcoming trip and I’m looking to streamline my packing. I’m a guy and I want to make sure I have all the essential items covered for my travel needs. Could anyone provide some advice on what are considered essential travel items for men?

I personally have a five-finger rule for my essential travels. I must always carry

  1. My USB charging cable
  2. Toothbrush
  3. Towel
  4. Boxers and Vests
  5. Cologne

Sure you can get a toothbrush and towel at some hotels and motels, but I still feel like something always happen and you might end up stranded, better safe than sorry

  • Of course, travel documents like a Passport (with a holder), travel insurance, and many more are a must.
  • For clothing, make sure you have the essentials first then carry two or three pairs of other clothes either heavy or light depending on the destination.
  • Carrying one pair of comfortable shoes and one pair of open ones is enough.
  • Although we are men, hygiene is a must therefore be sure to carry enough toiletries for your trip.
  • Of course the best part of the packing should include your gadgets. Do not forget to also pack portable power sources to power them.

I have a pair of old US Air throws that roll up very tight, a poncho, a pen, and a cigarette lighter charger with two 3-foot wires. The throws are useful on the plane or while traveling because we can cover up or chuck things in the rear. I don’t usually take a raincoat, so I bring a poncho in case of bad weather. In addition, we’ll get a charger and two wires to charge our devices while driving.

BlockquoteMake sure your carry-on is adequately packed.

toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. When you’re feeling down, that can cheer you up.

It is also advised to bring along a few changes of clothes. In the event that you spill on yourself or your luggage gets missing. (I once experienced a Coca-Cola spill 30 minutes into my first of three flights to Europe.)

Make sure you have everything downloaded because the entertainment/wifi apps tend to stop working after a while.
