11 Mandatory Things You Need to Add to Your Travel list for a Peaceful Trip

Nowadays travelling peacefully, is not to be taken for granted. With all that has happened these past years, long gone are the times where travelling was enjoyable. Between the terrorists attacks in public spaces, the security checks and the lack of comfort, it’s been hard to actually enjoy the journey…
While we can’t do much about terrorism and security checks, we do have action on the lack of comfort. It all starts with our carry-on.

No more personal space

Since the 50’s, our personal space in aircraft has consistently diminished. The space per seat in economy class from then is equal to the space per seat in our modern first class… So yes, there is no denial, if you want to travel peacefully you need to be prepared. Usually, when travelling by plane, your personal space is very reduced, in the aircraft as well as the number of things you can take with you. Your carry-on size has to fit the standards thus it’s important to choose each item you put in there wisely.

Travel season

There is not really a travel season but summer tends to be the period with the biggest influx. Thus being prepared is of paramount importance. Have you ever experienced an awful flight? Because I have more than once and since then made a travel list of what not to forget in my carry-on.

You will find below a collection of the best items you need to add to your travel list to face any contingency. That way, even if all hell breaks loose you’ll be able to put on your alpaca eye mask and your anti-noise headphones and shut yourself down for a while.
