If you’ve got the travel bug, it’s well worth investing in some essentials that will make traveling easier and cheaper in years to come. If you’re a bonafide globetrotter, here are tips to ensure you’ve got all the gear, as well as all the ideas.

Luggage
You may have romantic views of strolling through piazzas and ancient squares with vintage suitcases that complement your oversized shades perfectly, but the reality is that practicality should win when it comes to globetrotting. If you’re popping to Rome or Paris for a weekend, you don’t want to be lugging a backpack around. However, if you’re planning to trek through jungles, climb mountains or hop from one desert island to another, it’s well worth investing in a good quality bag. Backpacks are a lot easier to transport than cases or large holdalls, and they should stand the test of time. If you’re looking for tips or reviews to help you find options to suit your budget, check out sites like Travel Gear Depot. Once you’ve got your backpack sorted, it’s a good idea to buy a smaller, lightweight rucksack to take out and about with you. If you’re staying in a city for a few days, you don’t want to take everything with every time you leave the hotel or hostel. Don’t forget to buy a lock for your bag before you set off on your travels.

Phones are great for capturing spontaneous moments, but if you’re embarking on a global tour, you’re probably expecting to see some pretty incredible sights along the way. If you’re interested in photography, or you simply want to keep a record of where you’ve been and what you’ve seen, it’s worth buying a decent camera. If you’re serious about getting perfect shots, you may also wish to add a collapsible tripod to your wish list. There are so many makes and models out there, so it pays to do some homework and read reviews.

If you’re a globetrotter, you may find that you end up buying new things every time you have a trip planned. With this list of essentials, hopefully, you’ll find that you’re primed and ready to go whenever you fancy jetting off.
