Tips for Trips 1

This Summer, Everyone or Most of us go to beach or go out of the country.



The question all of us are asking is, What to Bring?


Well, It depends. It depends where will you be going. Here are some tips of what to bring for a Trip on a Beach.

Flip-flops


Flip-flops is a must in having a tour or a trip. it is highly recommended especially if you will be having a long day/night trip that requires walking like in the beach. Havaianas is one of the comfortable flip-flops a person can use. There are so many choices of Havaianas there are plain ones and some are with design both are stylish enough to wear by men and women. (better to have a foot spa first or a pedicure so that your feet will look good when you wear a Havaianas.)

Sunglasses



Sunglasses is also a must have especially now a days. The sun is so shiny bright that is so irritating in some ways. Better choose the right sunglasses that looks good to the shape of your face.There are so many varieties of sunglasses from High-end brands to affordable ones. Ray-ban is one of the most popular shades worn from upper class to middle class, Either the Ray-ban's Wayfarer or Aviator. Chanel, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton are examples of High-End Brands of Sunglasses. For Affordable Trendy Sunnies try the Subcult Sunglasses. (Don't wear Sunglasses at Night, You will Look Stupid. Unless you are hiding something like huge eye bags and sore eyes)


Camera



Camera is a must have in all your tours so that every destination you go you have a souvenirs or a proof that you had been on that place. A digital camera is more handy than bringing a DSLR camera but they are both can be used in a tour. Brands like Canon or Nikon have a high recommendation of camera to bought from my classmates and friends,

 Weekender Bag

 
Weekender bag is one of the bag to use in having a short trips like trip on a beach. It can store clothes that you can use for 3 to 7 days, unless you are bringing to much. One of the famous brand for weekender bags are Louis Vuitton (Louis Vuitton Keepall). But of course there are affordable ones. But if you want to invest in bags Louis Vuitton is the best choice.

Gadget



Laptops, Ipod, Ipad, Tablets, PSP, etc. can be brought to your trip so that if you feel bored on a plane flight or on a bus ride on your way to the beach, You can use them. Blackberry is one of the best phones to be used internationally. Blackberry message can be used in communicating with your friends unless they also using Blackberry. Iphone is now the best choice to use, one main reason is because of the App Instagram. The latest app that everyone is using right now. (Make sure you are using postpaid phones or make sure to have so many loads.)

Carry-on Bag



Carry-on bag is a highly recommended especially you will used it for your everyday tour. Carry-on bag shouldn’t be that big and so small. It will carry all the things you needed (wallet, camera, medicine pouch, umbrella, sunglasses, make-up kit, etc.) I recommend brands like Hermes, Alexander Wang, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Celine, Prada, Balenciaga for high-end brands; Longchamp, Marc by Marc Jacobs, H&M, Zara, Topshop/Topman, Forever21, Lacoste, Bershka for much affordable. I recommend bags that has a long strap so that you won’t be tired holding it all the time.


Wallet



Wallet is recommended but make sure it contains lots of money. Wallet that holds even coins is good so that you won’t be having a hard time in putting the coins to the coin purse. It should also hold credit cards so that in time of needs you have something to use. One thing, Don't put all your money on one place, so that in case of lost of wallet, you will still have money to use. Lots of brands sells super nice and stylish wallets.



Swimwear



A perfect pair of bikini or a good swimming trunks/ board short will always looks good to someone wearing it. Make sure it compliments to your body type. One brand that sells great bikinis for ladies is Glitteratti by bloggers Joanna Ladrido and Dominique Tiu. They are selling cute and sexy bikinis that women would love to wear. And for swimming trunks/board short for guys, Topman, Bershka and Zara sells really nice trunks. Some use rash guard both men and women and the best choice will always be Speedo.

Medicines


Medicine is always recommended especially if you are not that comfortable in traveling for a  long period of time. Medicine for dizziness is a must because that is one of the problems a person is encountering in his/her trip especially for a hang over from a party last night. Paracetamol can also be brought because some tourist doesn’t feel good like they are experiencing colds, cough, etc. medicine can be put on a small pouch then on your carry-on bag so that in case of emergency you are ready. 

Summer Clothes


Kaftan, Cover Ups, Shorts, Tank Top, and Maxi dress are the items mostly brought by ladies. Tank top, plain shirts, and shorts for guys. Undies of course is a must have. For Summer Clothes, Buy from Zara, Bershka, Mango, Forever 21, Topshop, Topman, Stradivarius for trendy summer items.

Sunblock


Last but definitely not the least, Sunblock. Even you want to have a tan skin, you should apply a sunblock because the heat of the sun now a days are really really hot that can burn skins.Higher SPF is highly recommended. There is no harm in applying unless you have skin allergies from those kind of items. 

Those are the Must Have things to bring for this Summer Trip!


Hope It help you a lot!
