Therefore, the luggage for traveling abroad should be simple and comprehensive, so that you can get on the road easily and safely.

●If you are traveling to a specific destination, you may wish to prepare a slightly larger suitcase.

Before going abroad, you should clearly understand the climate conditions of the travel destination, and choose clothes that are not too many but are varied and can be matched with each other according to the temperature. If you are not attending a formal banquet or tea party during your trip, you do not need to bring an evening dress; when attending a concert, just wear a dress or suit.

If there are blisters on the soles of your feet, you can also put tape in your shoes to make them smoother and less painful. Sometimes when you wear dark clothes and find a lot of dust, you can also use tape to stick them up. Although it is unsightly, it is absolutely emergency.

Alarm clock: If you are traveling in a group, you don’t have to worry about not being able to get up. Someone will call you naturally, so you don’t need to bring an alarm clock. But if you are traveling alone and need to get up in the morning to catch the bus, you may wish to bring an alarm clock to avoid delays.

Raincoat: Now there is a raincoat that can be folded very small. When it encounters rain or cold wind, it can block the wind and rain.

Bandana: Use this to wrap with your underwear and carry in a travel bag. If you buy too many things while traveling, you can also wrap them in a large hand towel. This kind of large handkerchief can be used as a headscarf or neck scarf when it is cold, and sometimes it can also be used as a gift.

Small calculator: The currency units of different countries are different. Sometimes when exchanging currency or shopping, it is very useful to carry a calculator to prevent being cheated.

English-Chinese dictionary and simple conversation manual: "Cramming" is very important for people who travel. Bringing them will bring you unexpected convenience.

You will definitely want to eat Chinese food during the trip, and bringing pickled mustard or pickled cucumbers will greatly increase your appetite. In addition, you can also bring some sour plums, which can not only quench thirst and increase appetite, but also treat colds. For other items such as instant noodles, it is best to carry a few packs with you for traveling meals.

●Camera and spare parts

Check your camera before traveling abroad. If you are buying a new camera or using it for the first time, it is best to take a few test rolls in China first. As for how much film to bring, you can decide based on your travel schedule. A tripod, exposure needle and small flash should also be brought, which will make shooting easier.

In order to prevent the camera from getting wet on rainy days, it is best to prepare a few plastic bags in advance. When it rains, you can use the plastic bags to cover the camera, so that you can take pictures as you like in the rain.
