Pack light, but bring the essentials. Here are some of the top things to bring:
Clothing
Underwear
Shirts
Pants
Socks
Jacket
Documents
Passport
Boarding passes
Prescriptions
Hotel reservations
Tickets for anything you have prebooked
Medical
Prescriptions. Make sure they are legal where you’re going. Although your prescription may be legal in your home country, bringing them to another country may be prohibited. Check each place that you plan to visit before you leave. You may need to provide special documentation for some countries. Also, always store your prescription medications in their original containers while traveling. Storing them in a non-prescribed bottle may cause you a ton of legal issues.
OTC medicines in original packaging. Airport security does not like to try and identify what medications you are bringing into their country, even if it is something like Ibuprofen. Keeping them in original containers helps security personnel to quickly assess your luggage contents, and get you out the door.
