We all have committed our share of follies while traveling to a destination. Some of the most basic and obvious things somehow miss our eyes and our common sense goes for a toss amidst the flurry of preparations one does before setting out. Here are some of the most common ones that you should keep in mind before embarking on a journey.

1. Forgetting chargers

One of the stupidest things people do while traveling is that they forget to carry chargers of their phones, laptops, tablets or cameras at home and have to go through the whole trip with a drained out gadget or spend money on a new charger.

2. Carrying just about enough cash

If you are a poor person it’s better you be home and earn rather than travel with just about enough money because that is not the wise thing to do. You never know when emergencies arise and it’s every traveler’s nightmare to be stuck at an unknown place with no cash in hand.

3. Carry your medicines

If you are on any sort of medication, do not under any circumstances forget them at home. Chemists at your destination could very well not be stocking those medicines and then you would be in trouble.

4. Roam around without a guide at a new place

Backpackers can skip this point, but the other majority of travelers please note that it’s imperative that you hire a guide to show you the best of your destination rather than getting lost and ruining your trip.
