Traveling isn’t just Instagram photos or beautiful pictures. It’s also always being on the go, meticulously packed. Forgetting even one small thing can cause a flurry of problems. Especially with your toiletries, the better prepared you are, the easier your travel would be. Whether you love doing outdoor research or have to move a lot for client meetings these are the top five toiletries you must carry to save time while you stay fresh and clean.

Wrinkle Release Spray

Wearing ironed or steamed clothes isn’t always an option while traveling. Though many hotels offer ironing, it’s not always easy to use due to their exorbitant price and your busy schedule. Wrinkle release sprays come in very handy if you are staying in an Airbnb or budget accommodation. It’s also a lifesaver for those looking for last-minute touch-ups. The Laundress classic crease release spray is one of the most effective budget-friendly options on the market.

Stain remove sticks

The stain remove stick is something you want to have on the go for fixing unwanted stains. Depending on the road you may get watermarks, spilled food stains, or coffee stains in the hours of writing. The Tide Go Stain remove stick is an easy, affordable option to have handy for a quick fix before the stain sinks in.

Sunscreen

As a travel writer, getting all the details of the places you visit, the vibe, the feel, and more research will always require you to spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun. Carrying spray sunscreens to apply is essential for your survival. Protect your skin from sun damage as well as anti-aging and skin problems with this handy toiletry. Coola’s organic classic sun spray SPF 30, or WOW Skin Science UV Sunscreen Spray Spf 50 are good choices for travel.

Hand Sanitiser

One of the most important toiletries to carry is a hand sanitizer, and it has become only more important in recent years. Hand sanitizers are a must-carry item for every traveler, to be used before eating, or cleaning your hands in general when hand soaps are nowhere to be found. Carry spray or gel according to your choice, but choose one with soothing ingredients.

Dry shampoo

Cleaning, drying, and styling your hair is not an option you have available when you’re traveling. For such situations, opt for a dry shampoo which is a boon for those frizzy and sticky hair days during traveling, especially if you have long frizzy hair. Carry Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk to maintain and manage your hair.

Nestled in Southeast Asia, the landlocked country Laos is the perfect blend of bliss and beauty. Just like its neighboring countries Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, Laos has plenty to offer. This location is affordable, exciting, and offers breath-taking views of mesmerizing mountains, meandering rivers, and remote villages. You can trek to isolated hill tribes, swim in waterfalls, and explore underground caves. It is a destination filled with adventure.

Bokeo Nature Reserve – Abode of the Black-Cheek Gibbons

If you envied the life of George from the movie George of the Jungle, then you can live it too. Stay in a treehouse and zipline through the forest. That and more adventures await you at Bokeo Nature Reserve in Laos. The reserve was created to protect the population of Black-cheeked gibbon, a species that was once considered extinct. So, if you are lucky, you may just spot this rare gibbon while ziplining. The reserve is also a habitat for elephants, bears, tigers, and wild buffaloes. Additionally, the eco-project works to rehabilitate the wild animals captured by poachers.

Nong Kiau – The Rustic Village

Also known as Nong Khiaw, this village is a popular tourist destination in the Luang Prabang Province. It is famous for its many walking, biking, and mountain climbing opportunities. The most popular attraction is the bridge across the Nam Ou River, built by China, known for its stunning views of the river and mountains.

Vang Vieng – Party in the River

Admired by the party-seeking young backpackers, Vang Vieng is a small tourist town in Laos surrounded by wild fields. It offers all sorts of accommodations, from hostels to guest houses and it is filled with many bars and diners, which are open till the wee hours of the morning.

You can go trekking and rock climbing at limestone karst-filled mountains. However, the most loved activity in the town, however, is river-tubing. Imagine floating down the river stopping at various riverside bars on the way— isn’t it a great way to spend your summer days?
