What to bring when traveling abroad A list of essential items for traveling abroad

It is definitely necessary to prepare luggage when traveling abroad, but many friends may not know how to choose the items to bring. Going abroad is still different from traveling domestically. Some things are not allowed when traveling abroad. When it comes to carrying, another question is whether the things you need to bring can be used for private purposes abroad.

1. Essentials

#Money:

First of all, it must be RMB. Even if you go abroad, it is still necessary to carry appropriate RMB, and you may need to pay Various round-trip airport fees, etc. (Of course you may say you can use Alipay and WeChat)

Secondly, there is the foreign currency of the place you are going. If it is a foreign currency that can be directly exchanged in China, you can exchange it for foreign currency at home and bring it over. If it is a currency that cannot be directly exchanged at home, then please exchange it for U.S. dollars at home and bring it over.

TIp1: The currencies of many Southeast Asian countries cannot be directly exchanged in domestic banks. In the past, the common practice was to exchange for U.S. dollars, and then use the U.S. dollars to exchange for local currencies when you get there. Now the currencies of these countries are basically available on Ctrip. It can be redeemed directly.

TIp2: Try to prepare some small denominations of local currency, or small denominations of US dollars. I once encountered the embarrassment of being asked to tip at the airport, but before I even had time to find it, it was all in full cash. Some common foreign currencies on Ctrip have small coin purses, but of course the exchange rate is not cost-effective.

#Bankcard:

There is nothing to explain about this, VISA, MASTER, or others, please bring your own.

TIP: Some credit cards have a reporting function for going abroad. Before going abroad, enter the time you went abroad on the credit card APP. It is said that the currency conversion fee can be waived by swiping the card during this period. It is recommended not to forget this matter.

# ID cards, Hong Kong and Macao passes, passports and other documents, as well as visas that need to be processed in advance. The cruise requires a copy of your passport.

TIP: I remember seeing a notice on What’s Worth Buying last year, saying that if you are flying to a foreign country but connecting domestically, your passport alone will not suffice, and you must remember to bring your ID card.

# Various vouchers: such as hotel confirmation form (ordering channels such as agoda need to print the hotel confirmation form by themselves, please ignore other channels); various tickets booked in advance, itinerary confirmation forms, etc. ; Printed insurance policy

2. Equipment

Change of clothes and shoes: If you need to go to a temple or a formal occasion, you may need long pants, long sleeves, and closed toes. shoes etc. If you go to the beach, it is best to prepare slippers, sandals and other shoes.

Swimwear, swimming trunks, swimming goggles, swimming caps and other swimming equipment;

Sunglasses, contact lenses and supporting care solutions, etc.

Umbrella;

Sun protection clothing: There are articles with reviews on what is worth buying. Consider which one is more suitable for you to buy. Be careful to indicate UPF and other indicators. If you want cost-effective products, buy Decathlon.
