Life is short, the older you get the more you feel yourself losing the capacity to run, travel, think and experience life. So run and grab the opportunity to travel whenever there is one. But if you don’t want to enter a havoc scene at home after returning from vacations make sure you keep the following things in mind.
Turn off the water supply before leaving
Leaks do happen and they happen especially when you are not at home. A small mistake can cost you a lot, so make sure these things don’t ruin the happiness of your amazing trip. Close the taps and even the water supply so that no leakage can happen.
Documentation
Make a folder of all the important documents like flight tickets, id cards etc to avoid any last minute hassle.
Medicines
Traveling is all fun but many times you suffer stomach problems, headache or fever during hectic and continuous traveling. So try to carry all the medicines and take your precautionary measures to enjoy your vacation.
Unplug all electronics
Make sure to unplug all electronic devices like TV, microwave, AC, toaster etc. Even if they are switched off, still make sure to unplug them as any short circuit can happen and by unplugging them your house is safe. Check the gas too before leaving.
Keep chargers and power banks with you
Phones eat up all the battery in a short time so when going on a long trip where charging points would not be available all the time, do keep the power banks to keep your phone alive. Make sure to charge your power banks too so that they can be put to use.
Check luggage size
Check the luggage size and weight and do not carry unnecessary items as it is you who has to carry it. Do not carry any oily items as it can damage everything. Buy travel size bottles to carry liquid to save space.
