Most international holidays comprise of multiple destinations having different climatic conditions. In such cases, it is not feasible to carry different types of clothes for different weathers!

Medical care abroad can be expensive, especially if you are traveling without travel insurance. It is always better to carry your own first-aid and medical kit with your basic essential pills, painkillers and antiseptic creams. 

8- Carry a small, handy backpack 

Whenever you plan a holiday abroad, it usually involves a lot of sightseeing and requires you to stay on the roads for the entire day. So, it is always better to carry a small duffel bag consisting of all your essentials, travel documents, money and some extra space to fit your shopping into.
