How to Travel

Pack your bags up the day before. Make sure to get the basics, underwear, socks, toothbrush, medications, pjs, travel documents, license, passport, – don't get deported, little gifts, etc... 'etc...'? This etcetera is the other stuff you forget and will inevitably have to purchase at your destination. Yes, I account for this because sometimes it doesn't matter how much time ahead I pack there is usually something I missed packing and have to either bother a relative to let me borrow it.

I don't love forgetting stuff but at this point I rather forget than having to change my ways, like packing weeks before like my mother does. Smart lady, never forgets anything. I'm more like my dad in these type of things. 'Men'.

I'm not sure if it's a fair thing to asume, 'all men are bad at packing' but I tell you, there is a pattern. My male cousin, doesn't travel, I wonder if he would also suck at packing. I think having a comfortable amount of money makes you care less because you can just purchase what you forget at the place where you go to maybe, – saying this in the most possibly humble way. For example, I forgot to pack belts, now I have to go to a store and buy something I already had for free at home.

Be sure to pack a public transportation card in your suitcase or bag, especially if you're traveling to a city with public transportation. This saves time and hassle by avoiding the hassle of buying a travel card or standing in line for a ticket.
Everything else is basic, as already mentioned.
