What to take on a trip - how to get ready for the journey

The time has come when many are afraid to use the services of travel companies due to a strong increase in prices for services, as well as due to the large number of closed firms. However, the desire to rest and travel has not gone away, so many decide to make an independent trip, for example, on your car. The route in this situation is not principled, it can be a trip across Russia, and a trip abroad. In this case, it is very important to determine what to take on a trip. It is necessary to envisage not only what will be needed every day, i.e.their daily needs, but also possible unexpected and even force majeure situations that may occur along the way.

In addition, if you go on a foreign trip, you need to have money on the card, and on the one that is accepted for payment in the country to which you are going.
