Your passport, visas, travel insurance, and copies of all relevant documents are necessary for overseas travel. Bring the required chargers, a power bank, an unlocked phone with SIM or eSIM, and a universal adapter. Carry your medicine if required, hand sanitizer, toiletries, and a reusable water bottle. Bring packing cubes, a sleep mask, a neck pillow, and a safe money pouch for convenience and organization. Always have some local currency and a backup card with you, and you'll be OK!

For international travel, essentials include a valid passport, visa (if needed), travel insurance, and copies of important documents. Pack a universal adapter, power bank, and some local currency. Bring medications, toiletries, and hand sanitizer. Use a travel wallet for organization, and carry a daypack, reusable water bottle, and snacks. Don’t forget comfortable clothes, good shoes, and tech tools like offline maps and translation apps. A neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones help during long flights

Travel eSIMs changed the entire experience for me, and it's not something that costs a lot or takes up any space in your luggage - this really made my life so much easier (and cut the roaming costs in half). I tested Ohayu in Switzerland and a couple of other European locations this January, Airalo in North America (mid-2025), and Holafly in Hungary, and so far Ohayu wins for prices, multi-network support, and speed. It's just so much cheaper and can be installed in advance and I no longer have to be terrified of signing up to whatever contract they offer in a language I don't speak. No verifications or relying on public Wi-Fi too.
