Eight Things All First-Time Travelers Forget.
It might still happen despite the amount of time you’ve put into selecting a suitcase and finally fitting everything inside it. You’ve left your home, you’re in a taxi or on a plane, and suddenly, whoops. Forgetting stuff that you really need isn’t uncommon, and at times, it can be a real headache. While your tickets, travel documents, money, and medication are essentials, here we have listed ten other items we often forget to pack—and always regret not having in our suitcases. 
Accessories Charger.
We always charge our phones, tablets, and cameras to the brim before heading out on a trip—wise, right? But so often, we forget to pull out the charger and put it inside the bag after we’re done charging our devices. Also, don’t forget to pack an adapter, as the charging port might be different from what you need.
Tooth Brush.
This one is a classic. Sometimes, people purportedly don’t pack toothbrushes as they’re readily available, and some hotels even provide them. But often, getting your hands on a fresh, new toothbrush in the morning gets more challenging than you imagine. The same goes for other bathroom essentials like razors, shampoo, and hair brushes.
Headphones.
I don’t think I need to justify the dire importance of headphones, especially during long travels. They can readily be your perfect escape when you need to make a trip more tolerable or ignore people for a while. Imagine spending hours customizing your perfect travel playlist and forgetting to bring your headphones. Sigh!
Sleep mask or earplugs.
It becomes hard to enjoy a trip if you haven’t had a good rest at night or if you are a light sleeper. If light and noise tend to disrupt your slumber, make a point to bring sleep masks or earplugs to spare you some sleep. They will come in incredibly handy during long drives and flights.
Emergency snacks.
It is tempting to not pack any food when there are eateries in every nook and cranny, but, there are several probable instances when emergency snacks will come handy. Imagine arriving late at a hotel sans room service or getting stuck in a country station with only live pigeons for protein source.
Sun Protection.
It is always nice to bask in the sun and get your vitamin D intake. However, the sun is trickier than you might think. Underrated as it is, sun protection is indispensable. Do not forget to pack sun-protection clothing, sunscreen, and sunglasses unless you want to flaunt sunburns as a testimonial of your vacation.
Insect Repellent.
At the time of writing this blog, no treatment for malaria had been developed yet. Crazy, right? Anyway, prevention is always better than cure. Make sure to pack insect repellent when outdoors to ward off various insect-borne allergies and diseases.
First aid supplies.
You will get blisters—also, scratches and scrapes. Unless you want to overpay for a pack of bandages, don’t forgot to throw a few in bag while packing. Also, it is not exactly convenient to hobble your way into a medical store post-injury, right? The wise thing to do is make yourself a first aid kit with essentials and pack it with toiletries.
