#AskAlfresco - Travelling Essentials
Was wondering what are your travelling essentials? I’m going on a long trip next month and not sure what I should definitely bring. Thanks, Katie x Hi Katie, I’m so glad you asked me this! I’ve been trying to compile a list for a while now so your question has forced me to actually sit down and get it done. Since I’m not sure where you’re heading to (I’m sure it’s somewhere glorious) I’ve kept this list brief and really included only the things that I take with me absolutely everywhere.
Noise cancelling headphones
I decided last year to finally get some noise cancelling headphones for flights and noisy buses. I have the Sony MDR-ZX770BN (John Lewis, £99). These headphones are fantastic and very reasonably priced for their quality. I can finally have some peace and quiet on a long journey. I can’t tell you what a difference they’ve made to my commute! My only regret is that I didn’t buy them sooner.
Journal
You should definitely take a journal with you – somewhere to jot your memories and thoughts down. I always feel particularly inspired when I’m away, probably because a change of routine is so good for you, and so like to always have one on hand for any doodles or scribbles I need to get down! It will also serve as a great memento of your trip when you’re back home.
Teavana Tumbler
I am a total tea addict, so I always carry a tumbler with me. I just pop some loose leaf tea in the bottom, and can carry fresh and delicious tea with me wherever I go. Top tip- put tea in and fill it with hot water when you’re through security so you have tea on the plane.
