Good travel gear may make the difference between a hassle-free vacation and a haphazard one. Investing in high-quality travel gear as a woman might pay off handsomely while you’re on the road. You’ll want to bring along something that can withstand the test of time and operate in order to make your journey a true breeze.
As a result, we’ve compiled a list of needs for female travelers that are both heavy and small.
1. A good day-trip/hiking backpack.
Girl (or anybody for that matter) needs her trusty bag, no matter where she is going. If you’re looking for something that is both lightweight and waterproof, you should look for a bag that is both robust and simple to reach while on the road.
If you’re going on day excursions or hiking, you’ll need a backpack that can hold all of your gear. We highly suggest that you get a nice rucksack or light backpack in order to alleviate the strain and prevent sweat from building up on your back.If you’re going on day excursions or hiking, you’ll need a backpack that can hold all of your gear.

2. Wifi & Sim Card
It’s like discovering treasure in the midst of the desert to be able to access the internet when traveling worldwide. Even if you’re on vacation, you still have the want to keep in contact with your friends and family to check how they’re doing. We can’t forget about social media either. How are you going to Instagram all of those amazing pictures and self-portraits you took while you were away? And what would you do if you couldn’t use Google Maps to find your way around unfamiliar neighborhoods?
We recommend that you acquire a 4G sim card to alleviate all of these issues. You’ll be able to keep in contact with loved ones and close friends and remain on top of current events this way.
3. Multi Pouch Makeup Bag
We’re all aware of how important makeup is to women and how they would go without it. If you’re posing in front of the Eiffel Tower or the Burj Khalifa, you’ll need to look your best. As a result, we recommend investing in a multi-pocket carry-on travel bag to keep all of your cosmetics, lotions, and other toiletry items neatly organized. Because of this, you may spend more time outside experiencing the great outdoors and less time getting things done.
4. Bring a lot of Clothes
Obviously, you’ll need a lot of clothing. On some days, you’ll be visiting a beach, and on others, you’ll be trekking, so you’ll need to dress appropriately for each situation.
As long as you’re traveling to Southeast Asia or the Middle East, don’t worry too much about packing a whole outfit before you board the plane. You’ll be able to do a lot of shopping without breaking the bank.
5. Menstrual Cup
Periods are unwanted guests that don’t care about your travel plans, so you’re likely to have to deal with a lot of travels when you’re already on your period or anticipating one. So, if you’re planning on visiting a rural area of Phuket while on your period, make sure you have a menstruation cap with you. It’s safe for the environment, economical, and easy to use once you get the hang of it. As a bonus, it takes up less room in your suitcase and eliminates the burden of using disposable sanitary pads.
6. Versatile footwear
The ability to traverse varied terrains is enhanced by wearing a range of shoes. After a long day of trekking or walking, nothing beats stepping into something more comfy like sandals or flip-flops instead of your hiking boots.
7. Power Bank
The battery life of your smartphone will be shortened if you take a lot of images and use Google Maps a lot. Without your phone, you’ll be absolutely lost. As a result, we highly advise that you invest in a small power bank that has a large capacity for battery life.
8. A Kindle
If you’re planning a six-day, five-night trip to Dubai, you’ll have plenty of leisure, and you’ll want to fill it with some decent reading. As a result, we strongly advise you to get an Amazon Kindle, which will come in handy when it comes to packing light and conserving room. Hundreds of e-books are available on a single, portable device, so there’s no need to lug about a lot of physical books. The price of a kindle is also lower than that of an iPad or other tablet.
9. Pepper Spray
Worst-case-scenario situations should be avoided at all costs. But in the event of an emergency, it’s best to be prepared. As a result, we strongly urge that you have a pepper spray handy in case of an emergency.
10. Dry Shampoo
You just need to talk to a woman to learn how much they despise having sticky hair. When you’re on the road, you can’t wash your hair as often as you’d want. This is why dry shampoo exists, since you’ll never be without it. It’s a lifesaver when your hair isn’t looking its best.
SoLadies, you’ve got the answer! These are the must-haves for your next vacation, according to our list of essentials.
