Having enough financial resources will help you make up for what you did not take on your trip, be it sandals or a handbag. But there are situations when money cannot solve a problem, for example, if you forget your documents or go to places where there are no shops.
Instructions
Step 1
Play in your head all the possible situations that are likely during the trip, this can be done in transport or in line. Imagine that you have arrived at the airport, go through the registration procedure, customs control, get on the plane. Mentally draw pictures of how you give documents to a customs officer, how you turn on the player on board, or put on a blindfold to sleep. Likewise, lose a hotel check-in, room check-in, beach trip, or excursion. Just in case, think about what troubles you may face: a cold, a cut, an upset stomach, a headache. Everything that your imagination drew for you, remember and organize.
Step 2
Write lists. It is best to start this activity a few days before departure. Highlight several main sections, for example, "documents", "on the plane", "first aid kit", "hygiene products", "chargers", "clothes", "shoes", "electronics". In each of them, list what you might need. Write everything you remember, while packing your suitcases, you will cross out items that you can do without. If you remember something when the list is not at hand, create a draft of an SMS message on your mobile phone, so you will not have to painfully remember what you forgot.
Step 3
Use ready-made lists posted on the Internet. To do this, enter "travel lists" in the search engine. On specialized sites, select the country or place you are going to visit, read the lists written by experienced tourists, add your thoughts. Ready-made lists are especially useful for those who are making their first trip to a particular region. Of course, there is no universal recipe for everyone, but you can find useful ideas on these sites.
Step 4
Before packing your suitcase, lay out all things on the floor, form piles according to the sections of the list. Make sure you haven't forgotten anything again.
