It's always nerve-wracking before traveling abroad, repeatedly checking whether everything you need is in your suitcase. The anxiety caused by uncertainty often wastes a lot of time. Before going abroad, it's recommended that you prepare a luggage packing checklist. This not only gives you peace of mind but also makes the process more efficient. If you're unsure what to prepare, why not create a personal checklist based on the following categorized needs?

● Documents
1. Valid passport (with at least six months' validity remaining from the date of return)
2. Copy of your passport (keep it separate from the original. It will come in handy if your passport is lost)
3. Valid visa
4. E-ticket and accommodation information
5. Cash and credit cards
● Personal items
1. Personal medications (you can prepare simple items such as painkillers, cold medicine, stomach medicine, and vitamins)
2. Glasses, contact lenses, and lens solution
3. Toiletry bag (shower gel, shampoo, facial cleanser, toothbrush, toothpaste, and cosmetics, etc.)
4. Razor
● Clothing
1. Underwear
2. Pajamas
3. Outwear (pants and tops; it’s recommended to bring a combination of clothes for different functions)
4. Slippers and shoes (choose based on travel needs and occasions)
5. Jacket (even if you’re going to a tropical country, it’s advisable to bring a light jacket just in case)
6. Sunglasses
7. Swimsuit
8. Others (such as gloves, masks, scarves, etc.)
● Others
1. Small gifts (bringing unique Taiwanese small gifts might help you make some good friends)
2. Mobile phone
3. Universal plug adapter, charger, and voltage converter
4. Camera and memory card
5. Umbrella, raincoat (or waterproof jacket)
6. Lightweight handbag (if you don't want to carry bulky luggage when traveling abroad, it's recommended to bring a simple cloth bag or handbag. It makes moving around easier, and if your checked luggage is too full on the way back, you can easily carry it on board)
7. Combination lock (can be used to secure your luggage, and if you're staying in a hostel or budget hotel, it can also be used to lock your locker)
8. Basic stationery (great for keeping travel notes or for communicating with others in case of need)
9. Travel itinerary information (print out information about the day’s attractions or keep it on your phone, such as transport info and contact numbers, just in case)
