Ok.
A complete travel kit (in my opinion) should contain just about the following, and the list (hence the size of the kit we'll ultimate carry) can of course be adjusted depending on needs but also on the duration of the trip:
I'll write this down even though the few usual suspects will start again (but I'll repeat I love 'em all) and mind you the checklist was written while I was in South Korea years ago, so a few things have changed since then (ok, it's too much to carry thermometer and ...tonic lotion & pads for face cleansing with you, I know :lol: ) but that is the list anyway and I'll take the heat that comes with it, no probs
:lol:
- comb
- small (hand/body) soap
- shampoo
- hair gel or pomade
- shaving kit (razor, soap/cream, brush, balm, after shave, styptic, blades)
- tonic lotion and cotton pads
- pills
- hansaplast
- thermometer
- deodorant or alum
- perfume
- jetlag gel/cream (Origins)
- toothpaste, toothbrush, floss
- condoms
- tweezrs, nail cutter
- calendula/antibacterial cream
- ear cleaning pads/sticks
- face wash liquid
- lip balm
- hand cream
- tea/chamomile sachets
- face mask (in case you want to give your face a good rest one night)
- bath salts (yes, single use sachets, provided by a five-star LHW member hotel)
Most of the above can be had in travel size or samples, so a nice kit that contains say half or even less of all that exhausting list can be taken almost anywhere without occupying much space or weight.
Samples, samples, samples and travel size portions/bottles is the key.
