Basics 7: International Travel Survival Kit

1. Skipping rope: stay fit, loosen up and beat jet lag.
2. Eye shield, ear protectors and thermal hoodie. Whatever the cabin: stay warm, quiet and sleep well.
3. Notebook and pencil and pencil sharpener. Travelling generates lots of ideas: capture them.
4. Paleo bars. Don't be hungry, nor be forced to eat another bag of crisps/chips/fries.
5. Quality coffee bags. If you can get hot water you can get the coffee you prefer.
6. Socket adapter and external spare phone battery. That phone is your life when travelling.
7. One travel bag for all your gear; with you at all times. Pack, re-pack and re-pack until it's in one bag, easy to carry and easy to put in an overhead locker.
