These are the essential items I consider necessary for backpackers and travelers. These are items that I have used on previous trip to cavo tagoo mykonos resort and they have always served me well.

Knapsack  

A backpack or a knapsack is the first thing any traveler should decide upon. My first solo trip to Southeast Asia, Korea, and Japan were my first. I used a backpack. A Eurohike 55-liter backpack, with a rain cover, was less than 50 dollars. It came in very handy during monsoon season. It was easy to open and did not offer any security. Therefore, I bought a backpack transit case that I could put my backpack in and kept it safe from theft. It also protected it from the airport conveyor belts. According to my knowledge, airport conveyors can sometimes break clips from backpacks. Some airlines do not want backpacks on their planes as they pose a safety risk. In case you face such an issue, you can always send your backpacks through a reliable service like https://www.shiply.com/

The backpack bag was lost during my travels. I had to wrap my backpack in tape and bin bags to keep the clips from being caught on airport conveyors. It was very comfortable with a lot of cushioned padding. As my trip progressed, however, I realized that the backpack was too big. Many websites said that a lighter and smaller pack will make your trip more comfortable. It is true. This is true regardless of how lightweight the bag is. It also matters for practical reasons, such as when you travel on packed trains or subways carrying a huge wardrobe. It was very annoying when I was traveling on busy subways. I didn’t know how bad I was bumping into people, but I know that it was. It was great to be able to use my hands to pay for tickets, as well as carry water bottles and bags.

Travel Case  

My second trip to Japan saw me ditch my backpack in favor of a medium-sized suitcase. I was planning to travel for three weeks and move around the country quite often. Although I was concerned about the suitcase’s condition at the end of my trip, I prefer the convenience of a well-made suitcase. Although the suitcase can take up your arms and shoulders, it is good for your back. My backpack became too heavy for long walks. A suitcase makes it easy to walk. It is difficult to find your hotel in Bangkok’s busy and humid conditions with a huge backpack. With a suitcase, climbing stairs can be a hassle, but with a backpack, it’s easy. This is important because it is easier to travel around Japan (and other Asian cities) by subway. Sometimes, there are huge staircases leading to the platforms. A backpack is more professional and businesslike than a suitcase, making you more easily identified as a tourist or traveler. My backpack would not be accepted into a hotel as an item of luggage. Backpackers are a little-known group in certain countries. They tend to be young people who have let their steam out after university.

Shoulder Bag  

A daypack is a great option if you don’t want your backpack or suitcase to carry with you on daily walks and excursions. A shoulder bag was more fashionable than a small backpack. If you pack too many souvenirs or large water bottles in your shoulder bag, it can cause irritation to your neck and shoulders. A mini backpack can be a better option as it distributes the weight evenly across your back and shoulders. .

Attire  

As clothing is an individual choice that depends on each person’s needs, I won’t go into detail about it. But I will tell you that it is important to pack light and consider whether you actually need the clothing. I’ve fallen into the trap of over packing just in case. You can find cheap clothing in Asia so it is not necessary to pack too much. For a month of traveling, I would only need 3-4 t-shirts and 2 shirts, 2 pairs of trousers, 2 pairs of shorts, swimming briefs, 2 pairs of socks, trainers/sneakers, and some formal clothes.
