Probably everyone before traveling faces the problem of packing a suitcase, backpack or bag so as not to forget anything. Everything, of course, depends on where you are going: to warmer climesor ski resort?! We offer a kind of cheat sheet for travelers, in the form of a list of necessary things for a trip.
As a rule, we start preparing for the trip in advance,of course, if the departure is not in a couple of hours)). In order not to forget anything, we make a list of necessary things.
The list can be compiled in Word or Excel. Record on laptop, phone, tablet,or the old-fashioned way, write it on a piece of paper so that it is always at hand(especially having compiled such a list, it will be one hundred percent useful to you on every subsequent trip). We have two lists of necessary things: summer and winter, they are divided into items.
IN list of necessary things you can add your own points, remove something, and add something.
When all things are laid out, you can start collecting them. Divide your things into 2 parts: what you will take with you (hand luggage) and what you will check in as luggage.
We put everything valuable (documents, money, phone, etc.) in hand luggage. E If you are flying by plane, then there should be nothing sharp or liquid in your hand luggage. And also, something that may be useful on the road:
We put everything compactly in a suitcase. To prevent things from getting wrinkled, I roll them up like a sausage. In my opinion, there is less space and the view remains good. The suitcase should never be stuffed all the way. Firstly, you may be overweight (most airlines have a baggage allowance of up to 20 kg), and secondly, you will probably buy something for yourself or your loved ones.

They are very popular among tourists. Inquisitive tourists want to maximize the sights they can see and minimize the inconvenience of a multi-day bus journey.
So what to take (or vice versa, leave at home) to make your vacation as comfortable as possible?
1. Buy yourself a small one inflatable pillow and sleep mask(a special bandage that does not allow light to pass through). These two things will help you sleep on the bus while traveling at any time of the day.
2. A lot wet wipes, which will help not only maintain hygiene, but also refresh at any time.
3. Take a small blanket or an old warm jacket, which can be used to wrap your feet.
4. Take lots of bottled water. It may be needed not only on the bus, but also in hotels.
5. Take snacks. Both on the way to the first destination, and something that will not deteriorate during the week of the excursion tour. For example, dry goods, bread and fast food.
6. Take it with you boiler or thermal mug. The first one weighs a little, but can really come in handy. It is not necessary to take a glass mug or jar with you. On the road you can simply buy something at glass jar. And throw it away before returning home. Well, there’s no need to talk about the advantages of a thermal mug.
7. Wear a light jacket that you can wear with something warmer (great option the sweater will be zipped). On the bus you can unbutton or take off a warmer jacket (and, if necessary, easily put it back on).
8. Wear the most comfortable shoes!
9. Take it on the bus a pair of clean warm socks. You can give your feet a rest at any time by taking off your shoes and putting on warm socks. This will make you feel comfortable and comfortable.
10. Take it on the go change of clothes and underwear for every day. Even taking into account the fact that you will spend the night in hotel rooms, washed items do not always have time to dry overnight. And in clean clothes it is comfortable not only for you, but also for those around you.
11. Be sure to take personal care products. You should take antiperspirant, hand cream, a comb and hygienic lipstick (if you are a girl) on board the bus so that you can use everything at any time.
12. Don't forget about pills for pain in the head, stomach and joints. In general, it's best to stock up on painkillers just in case. Take some fastening tablets on the road too. The attendants will not be able to stop the bus at any request.
13. If you have it, take it MP3 or DVD player(maybe magazines that are easy to get rid of after reading). Pieces of paper, a couple of pens and cards.
14. Take a small, a comfortable handbag, in which you can fit everything you might need on the road.
15. Place a backpack, small suitcase or sports bag in the luggage compartment of the bus. Often hotels where tour groups stay do not have elevators. And you can get a room on the 4th floor. It is much easier to carry something in your hands up the stairs than to lift a huge suitcase up each step. Most convenient option- a backpack and a bag. You will take the first one out of the luggage compartment, put it on (the weight seems less on your back), and you can pick up your handbag from the bus interior. Even a sports bag that you can put on your shoulder will be much more convenient than a suitcase. And don’t worry that all the things won’t fit. Believe me, sightseeing tour You should take only what you need. And something that does not (or minimally) wrinkle. You won't always have easy access to an iron. And don’t take a backpack as hand luggage; there are museums that won’t allow you to enter with it. But for the luggage department, this is an ideal option.
P.S. Don't wear skinny jeans on the bus. As a rule, they do not stretch well, which will cause discomfort. It will be difficult for you to bend your legs.
In order to sightseeing tour of Europe turned into the tour of your dreams, in addition to all kinds of advice, just listen to yourself. Then what you need will also go on a journey. And take everything easier. You are yourself chose a bus tour, but not beach holiday. Therefore, you shouldn’t complain later about the fact that you had to spend a lot of time on the bus.
Popularity of bus services in last years is growing steadily.
Bus routes compete with rail transport on intercity and international routes.
For example, the bus tour is very popular among those who want to see Europe. With it you have the opportunity to visit several countries in a limited period of time and at an affordable price.
A traveler can spend more than one day on the road. And although there are stops along any route, most of the journey is in motion.
When going on a trip, it is very important to take with you items and gadgets that can brighten up your travel time.
Another important question is what to take with you on your trip from food to the bus.
It is assumed that bus tourists take a hot, nutritious meal during stops. The purpose of taking food with you is to satisfy your hunger between stops or simply provide a snack for pleasure.
Each person determines how much to take of this or that product independently, based on his appetite.
General rule: Consider the time at which the bus service is scheduled.
If you have to spend a day on the road, the amount of food will be greater than on an overnight flight.
1. Nuts. Any pre-peeled nuts or pumpkin seeds are suitable for travel.
2. Dried fruits. Choose options that do not cause excessive gas in the intestines. Raisins or dates are good. You should be careful with dried apricots and prunes.
3. Galette cookies. Unsweetened and slightly crumbly cookies are an ideal travel option.
4. Processed cheese is a wonderful addition to cookies.
5. Fruit or cereal bars.
6. Pre-sliced bread. Can be used to make sandwiches.
7. Sausage - this product is controversial due to the presence of a characteristic odor. But if a sandwich without sausage is unacceptable for you, then you should take dry, raw smoked varieties with you.
8. Fruits and vegetables. These healthy foods need to be washed first. It is unknown whether this will be possible on the bus. Suitable option: citrus fruits, apples, bananas.
By the way, it is better to choose apples with green peel; they are less likely to cause gas formation in the intestines.
Among vegetables, you should give preference to cucumbers and carrots. In addition to saturating the body, they are a source of water.
The benefits of water for human body difficult to overestimate.
When going on a bus trip, you should take regular water with you.
Juices and sweet carbonated drinks will certainly quench your thirst the moment you consume them. However, after a while the thirst will be felt even stronger.
An additional disadvantage of carbonated drinks is their ability to cause stomach discomfort.
It is unsafe to drink hot drinks while the bus is moving.
Wait until it stops or use special glasses that prevent spillage.
Before your trip, you need to check whether the bus is equipped with water heating equipment. This usually happens on international routes.
If there is water on the bus to boil and heating devices, then the tourist will only have to grab tea leaves, coffee, sugar and a glass.
Otherwise, you can take a thermos with you hot water or ready-made tea.
If a person with health problems or a passenger with a small child is going on a bus tour, then baby food suitable for road conditions, food or special food must be added to the main products.
Bus tour is special kind travel, so you need to be extremely careful when packing for such a tour. You have to difficult task: you need to take everything you need and not take anything extra.
If you have decided on this, dare I say it, adventure and are ready to endure a variety of hardships for the sake of a few days or hours in Paris, Brussels, Prague, etc., then read this article - I will try to help you make your trip more comfortable .
And if you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, be sure to check before leaving so as not to find out about your unexpected debt right at the border.
The most unpleasant thing about bus tours is, of course, night travel.. To make your ride more comfortable, immediately when purchasing a tour, ask for seats in the middle of the cabin, somewhere near the second door of the bus (it’s not a fact that you will get them, of course, but it’s definitely worth a try). Sitting at the very beginning of the cabin is not very comfortable, since the driver, in order not to fall asleep, can listen to music all night, talk with the person accompanying the group, etc. At the very end of the cabin, the seats don’t recline at all; you’ll have to sit upright all night. And besides, the further you are from the driver, the more motion sickness you can get.
By the way! It doesn’t hurt to inquire about the route - if there are a lot of mountain roads ahead, and you feel seasick, perhaps you should still change transport - you’re going to relax, not suffer.
Very convenient thing- This slippers, and if you plan to take them exclusively for the bus, take fabric ones, without elastic soles (your own). They take up very little space, weigh nothing and are very comfortable to use.
Take it with you plaid– it’s much more comfortable to sleep this way, and it also protects from the cold.
Special eye mask against light and a pillow under the neck– is not suitable for everyone, so I recommend checking these things for “usefulness” specifically for you and only then, perhaps, taking them with you.
Good companion on bus trips - this is a strategically important point in packing. How much easier it is to survive an overnight move by periodically resting on your neighbor’s lap!
Be sure to take it with you washroom accessories in the salon– soap, towel, toothbrush. As a rule, after traveling at night, a busy day with excursions awaits you - in order to somehow forget about sleep and remember at least something from these excursions - wash yourself properly in the morning whenever possible.
The next important and complicated aspect of bus travel is food. As a rule, there is not much time left for it. Of course, what to take with you on the bus depends on personal preferences, but I’ll still give you a couple of tips.
A bus tour is often a real stress for the stomach. To make it easier for him, take with you for the first 48 hours (if it’s hot, then for 24 hours) drinking yoghurts, cottage cheese, kefir - in general, dairy. Put it in your bag piece of raw smoked sausage– this sausage can be stored without refrigeration for a very long time and will definitely help you in times of hunger. Of course, out of boredom on the road you will want to “chew something.” Try not to overuse chips - you still have to live with your stomach for the rest of your life. Stock up bread, nuts(nuts are generally an irreplaceable thing on any trip - they restore energy well and help the stomach hold out until the next meal), fruits. In stores along the route, be sure to buy more fruits, sandwiches, salads, etc. with you.
Highly not recommended take on the bus everything that was popular on trains in the USSR - boiled chicken, eggs and other products that emit a strong smell. I confidently include watermelons among the undesirable foods on a bus trip - because then you won’t know where to go)).
And God forbid you bus tour eat almost nothing but chips, Rolltons and Coca-Cola! Such a diet plus a constant sitting position - stomach problems are guaranteed.
Another very important point– on autobahns in Europe, the group’s accompanying person may not give you tea due to compliance with safety rules. Moreover, this often only applies to buses from Russian-speaking countries - some European flights, on the contrary, offer free tea/coffee in these conditions. In any case, if you are a true tea or coffee lover, nothing prevents you from taking with you thermos, a little tea leaves and take care of filling it while you are at the hotel. By the way, in in this case, the good old boiler has not yet been canceled.
EntertainmentAnd it can be terribly boring on the bus, even though beautiful landscapes outside the window. Take care of entertainment too - It's better to have several options. In addition to the player and tablet, you can take it with you interesting magazine, a book (just don’t take one that’s too serious), a collection of crossword puzzles, some handicraft (for example, crocheting), some board game, which does not require much space.
