Travel is slowly starting to become a part of our lives again, and while I’m not personally ready to leave the country, there are places I’d love to go. Singapore is at the top of my list, and I’d love to get back to London and Greece. For fellow wistful wanderers, what are some of the essentials you need to remember before jetting off on your vacation?

Beach Towel
If you have stayed in a hotel or villa previously they quite often stipulate not to use the towels on the beach or by the pool. A lot of places will have towels you can rent for the day using the keycard from your hotel. This is great as it means you don’t have to bring one from home. However, they can then monitor who uses the service and who returns the towels. If any towels are not returned the hotel can then charge the guest for the missing towel or towels.
If you aren’t allowed to use the hotel towels and they don’t provide you with a beach towel then don’t worry, there will be plenty of stalls and touristy shops along the beach where you can pick up a nice beach towel. It will be a great souvenir to remember your trip as well.
Money
Money is one of the more common worries travelers have before they go away. Some of the frequently asked questions include can I use my card abroad? do I need to take money? Can I get money at the airport? There are tons of questions that are asked each and every day. Some countries have numerous currencies as well so you are best to check before you travel what their preferred currency is. An example of this is Jamaica, they have their own currency which is the Jamaican Dollar, however, they prefer the US dollar or the Great British Pound from their tourists.

Workout Gear
Working out may be the last thing on your mind when you go away on holiday. Some people dream of doing absolutely nothing while they are away while others like to go to the gym or go for hikes around the area. Whichever person you may be, it won’t hurt to take the gym clothes with you.
The hotel where you stay might have a gym located within it which is great for that early morning or late night workout you fancy doing. Don’t forget if you are packing your gym gear to also pack any supplements or protein you may need while you are away. You can take a look at steelsupplements.com for a wide range of pre and post-workout supplements.
Travel Adapters
Keeping travel adaptors in your suitcase is a good idea as you won’t have to remember to pack them as they will already be in there. Don’t worry too much though as shops and supermarkets in your destination will sell them, but they may be more expensive than if you order them ahead of time.
