10 Must-Have Items Women Should Have In Their Travel Essentials Kit

Just how booking through Klook can save you time and money; good travel gear could be the difference between a hassle-free holiday or a disorganized trip. As a woman, making the investment into the essential things to pack for traveling can prove to be a smart move. You surely want to take along something that can stand the test of time and function to make your trip – a real breezer of an experience.

Hence, we decided to list down some necessary & light travel essentials for women.

It doesn’t matter if you’re enjoying a scenic hike of Phuket at Black Rock View Point or just exploring the streets of Singapore, a girl (or anyone for that matter) needs her trusty backpack. Something lightweight and durable that also has the ability to protect your gear or items from light rain/snow and provide easy access to your travel essentials kit.

So make sure you carry the perfect bag that will carry all the load you need for day trips and hikes. We strongly recommend investing in a good rucksack or light backpack which will unload the burden and avoid perspiration on your back.

Getting access to the internet to stay online when traveling internationally is like finding gold in the middle of nowhere. And even if you’re on a vacation, looking for an unwinding experience; there’s still that urge to stay in touch with your close people, just to see if they are doing alright. Also, who can we forget about social media? How would you Instagram all those cool photos and selfies you’ve taken during your trip? And how on earth would you navigate through unknown roads without using Google Maps?

To solve all these problems, we suggest you get yourself a 4G sim card with high-speed internet. This way you stay in touch with family/close friends and be up to date with all the latest happenings.

We all know how important makeup is and how it is a crucial part of the travel essentials for women. After all, you need to look beautiful if you are posing at the world’s most famous attractions like Burj Khalifa or the Eiffel Tower. So, for that reason, we strongly suggest you carry a multi-pouch travel bag that will sort out all the makeup, lotions, and toiletry essentials- all in one place. It makes everything easily accessible and saves time that can be better used exploring the great outdoors!

Needless to say; you will surely require a lot of clothes. There will be certain days on your itinerary where you will visit a beach and certain days where you might go hiking, so be prepared to dress for all occasions.

If you’re traveling to destinations in Southeast Asia like Thailand, Indonesia or Dubai in the Middle East for that matter, don’t stress too much about having a complete wardrobe before boarding the flight. There will be a lot of scope for shopping without burning a huge hole in your pocket.

Periods come in uninvited and have no respect for your travel plans so chances are you’ll be facing many trips while already on, or expecting, your period. So, in case you’re traveling to a remote destination in Phuket during your periods, carrying a menstrual cap becomes part of the travel essentials for women. It’s eco-friendly, cost-effective and apparently gets comfortable once you get the hang of it. It also takes up less space in your luggage and will avoid all the unnecessary stress of using sanitary pads.

Like clothes, variety in footwear also helps you navigate different terrains. There’s nothing better than ditching your trekking boots or walking shoes after a day of covering endless kilometers and slipping onto something more comfortable like sandals or flip-flops.

Clicking a lot of pictures and using your smartphone for Google Maps will drain down the battery of your device. You will find yourself completely lost without your phone. Hence, one of the travel essentials for women we recommend is a nice little power bank with a lot of battery life capacity.

If you’re planning a 3D/2N Vietnam itinerary, there will be days when you’re going to have downtime on your vacation and you’ll surely be looking to fill the void by devoting some quality reading. So, we highly recommend you to purchase an Amazon Kindle, which will prove to be a serious life-saver when it comes to saving luggage space during your journey. No need to carry too many books as you can get access to hundreds of e-books in one compact and lightweight device. A Kindle will also cost you less as compared to iPads or other tablets.

Notorious surroundings or circumstances are best avoided. But in rare case scenarios, it’s better to be well equipped. Hence, part of the travel essentials women have to carry is a pepper stay during unforeseen events.

Ask women and they will tell you how much they loathe sticky hair. While traveling it’s a pain to have it and it’s not possible to wash your hair every time. For that reason, we have dry shampoo which will always come to your rescue. It is quite effective and extremely useful on those bad hair days.
