Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Travel-sized toilet paper . You never know when you'll need a bit of toilet paper, so it is
good to carry some travel toilet paper as you travel.
Wet wipes/baby wipes. Individually wrapped wet wipes are a lifesaver when you actually
need them—and you'll probably need them.
Hand sanitizer . You'll be touching so much dirty stuff all day and you don't want to get sick
as you're traveling.
Body powder. It's common to experience chaffing after a lot of walking—especially when
it is really hot. There is a product called Anti Monkey Butt that is great for those hot days or
Gold Bond powder is another good option.
Foot cream. Take care of your feet because you'll be walking a lot. O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet
Cream is fairly cheap and it will keep your feet from becoming rough and cracked.
Cologne/perfume. I like to travel with a bit of cologne or perfume. Don't bring a full bottle
because that would add a lot of weight. I suggest picking up a few sample vials—they'll usu-
ally give you free ones at department stores or you can buy them online if you're looking for
something specific.
First-Aid And Medicine
Only pack minimal first-aid supplies because you can get everything easily in Europe.
Prescription drugs. Ensure your prescription medicine is in its original box and that you
have a copy of the prescription. Some countries will check your medicine when you pass im-
migration, but I've never been asked. Make sure you have enough medicine to cover your en-
tire trip because it could be difficult getting your medicine abroad.
Pain medicine. In many parts of Europe, you can only buy medicine (even basic stuff like
aspirin) from a pharmacy. This isn't really a huge problem, but some pharmacies have limited
hours (many closed on Sunday) and the prices are usually fairly high, so you might as well
have a few pills on you before you arrive.
Bandages. They're nice to have readily available and they're easy to carry. Throw a few in
your bag for cuts and blisters.
Motion sickness pills. If you suffer from motion sickness, I'd pack a few motion sickness
pills before you leave.
Pepto tablets. Traveling can take a toll on your stomach. Pepto-Bismol tablets are super
easy to carry in your bag and they can be a lifesaver. Plus, tablets are much easier to pack than
the liquid.
Small pack of tissues. These are helpful for when you look at your credit card bill at the
end of your trip.
