What to Take on a Long Journey



The holiday season is well under way and with people trotting off around the globe, it is all about travelling. Whether it be abroad or nationally when travelling taking the right things with you to make you feel comfortable makes all the difference. I like to take things with me that keep me occupied on long haul journeys and these are the things I take with me when I go on a plane journey (I often get to travel sick in cars to not do much else other than sleep).

A Good Book
One way of drowning out the world of a long journey is to get absorbed in a good book. It's a great way to loose yourself and is also a great time passer. The book I am going to take with me is More Than This by Patrick Ness, and I chose this because I have heard many a good review on this by none other than John Green.

Phone
Taking any king of electrical item on opens up no end of options, you can use it to listen to music, watch videos and play games, candy crush anyone?

Headphones
To drown out the crying babies maybe? Bringing your own headphones makes the journey a whole lot more pleasant. You can silence out all around you and enjoy your favourite songs or a good movie.

Game Console
This may be a little secret of mine but I am slightly obsessive gamer, especially with Mario Brothers. I love playing on my DS when I have a spare moment and what better time than when you're stuck with nowhere else to go?

Tropical Wonderland Colouring Book
I have to say I thought my days of colouring were over, but seeing these 'adult' colouring books everywhere recently made me want to pick up my old hobby. Colouring in these gorgeous patterns helps to take your mind off everything and help to relax you.

Makeup Bag
I like to carry just a few makeup products with me on a plane and I will be doing a post in the near future showing you my chosen products.

  2. We take a lot of the same products. But I find it super hard to keep my list so short. I like to add a magazine and some snacks in my bag too.
