But, when it comes to taking the right kit, this footloose and fancy-free attitude can really catch you out (think midnight trekking up one of Sri Lanka\u2019s highest peaks in flip-flops, <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> my best look!).<\/p>\n<p>Striking the perfect balance between packing too much or too little can feel as likely as striking gold. So, to help you in navigating this big, beautiful world of ours with all the gear (and all the ideas), I\u2019ve put together the ultimate list of travel essentials for women. Check off this list as you pack, and you\u2019ll be prepared for whatever your travel trip throws at you.<\/p>\n<p>Think this list is missing something? Let us know in the comments below \u2013 after all, sharing is caring!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo-1478809846154-d4ca173df3e0.jpg\" alt=\"travel essentials for women - globe - person\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What To Wear<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A sarong (a supremely versatile item \u2013 use it to cover shoulders in the more conservative countries and use it on the beach when you fancy a dip in the sea)<\/li>\n<li>A selection of simple tops (the simpler, the better as you\u2019ll get away with wearing the same thing over and over (and over) again \ud83d\ude09)<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs of shorts<\/li>\n<li>1 cosy jumper or fleece<\/li>\n<li>2 long skirts, dresses or jumpsuits \u2013 (jumpsuits are a personal fave here as you get both movement and modesty)<\/li>\n<li>1 nice dress (for when you\u2019re feeling fancy)<\/li>\n<li>1 pair of leggings (perfect for sports and the plane)<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs of socks<\/li>\n<li>2 bras<\/li>\n<li>7 pairs of underwear (one for each day of the week \ud83d\ude09)<\/li>\n<li>1 pair of hiking boots<\/li>\n<li>1 pair of sandals<\/li>\n<li>1 pair of trainers \/ lightweight shoes<\/li>\n<li>1 waterproof jacket<\/li>\n<li>1 swimming costume<\/li>\n<li>Sunglasses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A few of my favourite clothing items:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Tracker FG Women\u2019s Hiking Boots<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve endured countless bulky boots that feel like bricks over the years but have now found the ultimate female hiking boot. Drum roll please\u2026 The Vivo Barefoot\u2019s Tracher Fg Boots are so soft they\u2019re practically foldable and come with a waterproof lining and thick sole designed for rough terrain. Get out of that tent and up that mountain!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>The North Face Stow-n-go Iv Bra<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With the inevitable feasting, drinking and lack of routine that comes with travelling it can be hard to stay fit on the road. Not only is jogging free and can be done anywhere, it is also a great way to get to know a new place. This comfortable bra has built in pockets that can hold cards, keys and a phone, so you can check maps on the go and treat yourself to breakfast afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Patagonia Women\u2019s fleece <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Patagonia has been at the forefront of the active wear game since the 1970s and it is still my go to brand for reliable technology with style. This outrageously warm fleece has a windproof barrier and a moisture-wicking polyester mesh lining, and I love the retro-look; very Motorcycle Diaries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Toms Shoes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether temple hopping or on planes, slip on shoes are every travellers\u2019 best friend. Toms are made of lightweight canvas that moulds around your feet. If I\u2019m being totally honest not wearing socks in sunny climes can result in smelly shoes. Try a sprinkling of baby powder morning and evening to keep them smelling fresh.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Nike Lux Training Leggings<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These classic black leggings are super supportive, which makes them ideal for flying as well as being active because they have in-built compression technology. They\u2019re made from sweat-wicking fabric which dries quickly, great for hiking in humid conditions or protecting your modesty when scrambling onto the top bunk of a Trans Mongolian railway carriage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102585 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo-1485809052957-5113b0ff51af.jpg\" alt=\"travel essentials for women - backpack and map\" width=\"800\" height=\"631\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which Toiletries To Take<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Shampoo<\/li>\n<li>Conditioner<\/li>\n<li>Body wash<\/li>\n<li>Moisturiser<\/li>\n<li>Face wash<\/li>\n<li>Dry shampoo<\/li>\n<li>Hand sanitiser (for times when there\u2019s no bathroom in sight)<\/li>\n<li>Travel first aid kit \u2013 anti-histamines, diarrhoea tablets, safety pins, painkillers etc.<\/li>\n<li>Insect repellent<\/li>\n<li>Toothbrush and toothpaste<\/li>\n<li>Menstrual cup<\/li>\n<li>Deodorant<\/li>\n<li>Sunscreen<\/li>\n<li>Tweezers<\/li>\n<li>Make-up (minimal if you\u2019re going to a hot climate)<\/li>\n<li>Eye mask (critical for blocking out light on those overnight journeys)<\/li>\n<li>Hairbrush<\/li>\n<li>Earplugs (a hosteller\u2019s must-have)<\/li>\n<li>Small mirror<\/li>\n<li>Toiletry bag<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Some of my go-to toiletries: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>The Diva Cup<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to sugar-coat this. Getting your period while travelling is a pain in the ovaries, especially if you\u2019re somewhere without access to toilets. However, menstrual cups make the whole thing way less of a faff because you can leave them in for 12 hours before washing them in the shower and reusing them. They are far better for the environment too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Lush Shampoo Bars <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These bars are perfect for travelling: small, long-lasting and eco-friendly. They won\u2019t explode in your backpack and you\u2019re fine to pop them into your carry-on luggage. Shampoo bars are in the limelight right now for all the right reasons and Lush are paving the way with their diverse (and wonderfully smelling) collection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Theye Mos Mosquito Repellent<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Repel those pesky mozzies the natural way with Theye Mosquito Repellent Cream. This brand-new product contains no alcohol or deet and one application lasts six hours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Swish to Go <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For those times that a brush, paste and even water just isn\u2019t available, Swish to Go is the answer. This natural powder turns to liquid on the tongue where it can be swished around for 10 seconds and swallowed to deliver cleaner teeth and minty fresh breath. Come at us overnight buses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Mini Tamanu Balm by Tropic<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Why pack multiple products when you could take just one? This all-natural healing balm is perfect for soothing chapped lips and cooling sunburn, as well as smoothing over itchy insect bites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Zap It!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of our best efforts, there are times when mosquito bites just happen. This cunning little tool helps to reduce itchiness and swelling by creating a tiny spark inside the plastic, effectively giving the bite a series of tiny electric shocks, which localises the poison and stops it from spreading. Simply press on to the bite and click 10 times. There are no prizes for being stoic when it comes to mosquito bites\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Garnier Ambre Solair Dry Mist Sun Cream Spray<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I love this sun cream, particularly when travelling solo. A dry mist that absorbs instantly, it is water resistant and sprays on, so you can fully protect your back without having to rely on helpful (and potentially creepy) strangers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Aveda Dry Shampoo<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One effortless squeeze and a puff of natural powder that smells like flowers will transform your hair. Aveda\u2019s dry shampoo is pure magic, leaving your locks voluminous and feeling freshly washed. It\u2019s a must for city breaks and long journeys alike.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Personalised Organiser Toilet bag, LL Bean<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This hanging toilet bag has a hinge design and tons of pockets, so you can open it right up and look through it without everything falling out. A sure-fire way to minimise swearing in the shower!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102586 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo-1516708293938-6b3be943107a.jpg\" alt=\"travel essentials for women - waterfall\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Practical Items (i.e. everything else)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Microfibre towel (lightweight, fast-drying and compact \u2013 don\u2019t leave without one!)<\/li>\n<li>Padlock (preferably one with a combination lock rather than a key)<\/li>\n<li>Clothes wash<\/li>\n<li>Reusable water bottle<\/li>\n<li>Ziplock bags (handy for dirty laundry and for separating out toiletries)<\/li>\n<li>Personal safety alarm<\/li>\n<li>Passport<\/li>\n<li>Travel visas (get these sorted as early as possible!)<\/li>\n<li>Extra passport photo (in case of any visa issues)<\/li>\n<li>Headlamp<\/li>\n<li>Camera<\/li>\n<li>Peppermint oil<\/li>\n<li>Sleeping bag liner<\/li>\n<li>Local currency (even a small amount will help you get off to a good start once you touchdown)<\/li>\n<li>Emergency contact numbers<\/li>\n<li>Money belt<\/li>\n<li>Plug adapter<\/li>\n<li>Books or a kindle<\/li>\n<li>Electronic device chargers<\/li>\n<li>Portable charger<\/li>\n<li>Headphones<\/li>\n<li>Portable Speakers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102587 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo-1517789382289-acf6d0f50222.png\" alt=\"travel essentials for women - camera \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Some suggestions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>UE Boom 2 Speakers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>From morning yoga on a rooftop to sunset drinks at the beach, there\u2019s nothing like music for turning a good moment into a great one. The UE Boom 2 is quite simply the best portable speaker on the market in my humble opinion. It\u2019s waterproof, light, has great sound-quality and lasts for 15 hours. BOOM.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Safety Alarm<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m a big fan of devices that fulfil lots of different functions. After all, you\u2019ve worked hard to save up for a holiday, surely your gadgets should work equally hard to look after you while you\u2019re away! Case in point is this all-in-one key ring, personal attack alarm and torch, ideal for walking home at night and trying to unlock your door in the dark. The best news? It costs less than \u00a33.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Day2 Dry Wash<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You know that moment when you get invited out by new hostel friends and your favourite outfit isn\u2019t dirty, but it\u2019s not quite clean either? Now you can rescue it with Day2, a dry wash powder that revives any item of clothing, removing wrinkles and making it smell laundry-fresh. It\u2019s essentially dry shampoo for clothes, what an invention!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Miaroma Peppermint Pure Essential Oil<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re living in a beach hut in Thailand or Goa, waking up the crash of the waves and chilling underneath the stars. It seems too good to be true until suddenly you realise that a cockroach has managed to breach your defences and is now running around inside your mosquito net\u2026 Discourage spiders, cockroaches and mice by sprinkling pure peppermint oil around your room or mix it with coconut oil and rub it into your skin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Poweradd Slim2 <\/strong><strong>5000mAh Portable Charger<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Little is more worrying than realising you are lost in a foreign city and your smartphone is down to 1%. Or seeing that your iPad is in the red as you board a 14-hour plane ride. Poweradd\u2019s tiny external battery is only just bigger than a lipstick so can easily fit into a pocket and it charges most phones twice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Nomader Collapsible Water Bottle<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This water bottle is a traveller\u2019s dream \u2013 it\u2019s foldable, leak-proof and durable. Built with hiking and cycling in mind, it\u2019s a trusty travel companion which is made to last. It\u2019s also free of BPA, PVC and other harmful chemicals which can only be good news. Hydration for the nation!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Travel Towel, Dock and Bay<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Beaches, pools and hostels\u2026 Taking a towel travelling is non-negotiable, but no one wants to waste valuable suitcase space. Dock and Bay\u2019s are made of a unique fabric that dries three times quicker than a standard towel and is both lightweight and sand resistant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102588 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/photo-1486591913781-4bee9ed65bfe.png\" alt=\"travel essentials for women - palm trees and arch\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>About the author<\/h3>\n<p>Imogen Lepere is a travel writer with a soft spot for anything quirky, surprising and incongruous.
