#TTOT Shout Outs! Topic: Travel Essentials
Let’s get serious for a moment. The thought of leaving a large percentage of our indispensable worldly possessions at home while we travel is enough to induce a mild panic-attack and STILL, those heartless brutes in charge of weight limits simply won’t negotiate. So, as we feel like our soul is being torn out of our bodies as we wave goodbye to that (spare) triple-speed, water-purifying, colour-changing mini- kettle, we just can’t help but wonder how on earth Sir Edmund Hillary ever coped without one.
Please join us in our deliberation over the #TTOT collective’s most vital travel items. There’s not a kitchen sink in sight…
The questions this week were:
Q1. What are the top 5 things you can’t travel without?
Q2. What are your essential carry-on items?
Q3. What is the most essential thing you have to know about a destination before you travel?
Q4. What is your unique travel essential that others might view as unnecessary/superfluous?
Q5. What is the ultimate essential travel experience that everyone should undertake once in their life?
