All the most needed Ekaterina. Travel fees: what to take with you on your trip. Expensive jewelry

There is a long summer season ahead. Have a great harvest everyone! the site "Culinary Eden" thought about what, in fact, is useful in the country kitchen. It is clear that different things will come in handy - it all depends on how the dacha is used by the owners. Weekend trips are one thing, and moving to a summer cottage for the whole summer is another. In this article we are trying to work out a kind of middle version - it includes those devices that, in our opinion, will be useful in any case. Some of them should be left permanently in the country (if there is such an opportunity), others can be brought with you every time. Anything to add? We will be happy to find your "summer cottage" suggestions in the comments to the text - perhaps they will be useful to other readers. So, we go to the dacha. With things.

Induction in the vegetable garden

Hot food is always good. Both in winter and summer. It will not hurt in the case of "run-ins" to the dacha on weekends, and even more so with a permanent summer residence at the dacha. What to cook on in the country? There is, of course, the so-called "proven option" - to bring an old stove from home. But, firstly, it is not always possible (too big, there is nothing to carry, etc.). Secondly, this is simply not modern - we are against the dacha being a warehouse of "antiquities" that still work somehow and therefore it is a pity to throw them away.

There is a solution - portable electric induction cookers. They are frankly inexpensive, convenient to use and, what is important, the safest of all the stoves offered today (the dishes are heated directly, the glass-ceramic surface itself only heats up a little from it). In addition, there are no problems with transportation due to its small size. Yes, you need special utensils for induction cooking. If five years ago it was expensive and was not sold everywhere, now, due to the spread of induction hobs, this problem has been solved - in any dishware and hardware store you will find it at adequate prices.

Examples of portable induction cookers? Please! We liked oursson collection of “summer cottage induction” the most. It presents both tiles with one heating zone and two - the needs in this sense are different for everyone. Of the models with one heating zone, Oursson IP1220T tiles attracted attention. First you pay attention to the fresh summer design of these tiles. Their black glass-ceramic surfaces are in a plastic case (it can be cherry or green apple).

As for the performance of Oursson IP1220T, they are fully consistent with modern requirements for ease of use and safety. Electronic, touch control. Heating levels - 10. On the control panel there is an indication of the operating time of the plate (including the countdown until the end of cooking), the heating level. The minimum diameter of the dishes in which you can cook on this hotplate is 12 cm. The maximum diameter is 20 cm. Note that the device independently determines the diameter of the installed dishes - for quick heating and optimal electricity consumption. There is a sensor for recognizing the presence of dishes. If there are no dishes, the cooker simply will not turn on (the control panel is also locked from children, protection against excessively high or low voltage is implemented).

In addition to the fact that the Oursson IP1220T user has at his disposal ten heating levels (the maximum operating power of the device is 2000 W), special modes are also provided in these tiles. For example, the optimal power level mode for fast boiling. Frying mode - suitable for frying. Slow cooking with preservation of most of the useful properties of the food is also possible - the “Simmering” mode is intended for this. Cooking can always be interrupted by touching the "Pause" touch button, move somewhere if necessary, and then continue the process with the previously made settings, simply by touching the sensor again. In general, the manufacturer has made sure that with this "induction" the user is comfortable and safe in the country. Dimensions (height, width, depth): 61 × 296 × 400 mm. Weight: 3.1 kg. The cost of Oursson IP1220T is about 2.7 thousand rubles *.

Option with two heating zones - Oursson IP2301R / S portable induction hob. The maximum power consumption of this model is 2900 W. The power level of both heating zones is set here by convenient rotary controls - for each zone it is different. There are 10 heating levels, the power characteristics of the left and right heating zones are slightly different: the power on the left is 200-1300 W, on the right is 200-1600 W. Temperature settings (60-240 ° C) are also available to the user. There is a temperature maintenance mode. The cooker will not turn on without the dishes. There is protection against overheating, from too high or low voltage in the network (auto shutdown). It is also provided that the device is turned off if it is not used for 2 hours (if, for example, the user forgot to turn off the tile himself). Dimensions: 76.5 × 660 × 390 mm. Weight: 5 kg. The cost is about 4.5 thousand rubles.

Other options

We mean other options for cooking food in a summer cottage. For example, pay attention to the Gefest combined tabletop electric furnace PNS 420 K19. On top of this oven there are two electric heating zones (traditional cast iron pancakes). There are two zones, of different diameters and capacities, they can be closed with a metal cover.

Oven volume - 18 liters. Several heating modes (no convection): top heat, bottom heat, grill. There is a possibility of temperature settings. Double glazed door. On the outer glass, there is information about the cooking time and temperature of some products. Oven cleaning is traditional. The model has electromechanical control (traditional rotary controls). The oven is brown. Dimensions: 370 × 550 × 400 mm. Weight - 19.5 kg. The cost of the Gefest PNS 420 K19 electric furnace is about 7 thousand rubles. Quite a summer cottage option for a small family.

Refrigerator for summer cottages

The problem of food safety in summer is quite acute. Especially in the country, especially if you live there all summer and buy food, for example, once a week (or less often) in the supermarket. Naturally, you need a good refrigerator. It should be relatively inexpensive, but roomy and easy to use - so that any family member can operate the device without any problems, so that maintenance of the device is minimized as much as possible. Because there are so many things to do at the dacha, and after them you want to relax - to enjoy the dacha lifestyle.

A very large line of refrigerators is presented in Russia under the Bosch brand. We chose the Bosch KGN39X25 model. Refrigerator in classic white color. Two-meter high, roomy: the volume of the refrigerator compartment is 221 liters, the freezer compartment is 94 liters. One compressor, but two refrigeration circuits. Both compartments defrost automatically - No Frost system. In the refrigerator compartment, cooled air is supplied directly to the shelves - for fast and high-quality cooling of products. Reversible shelves in the fridge compartment made of high-strength glass with plastic edging. There is a plastic pull-out container under the top shelf (some users call it a "sausage box", but, of course, you can store different products in it). There is a metal shelf for horizontal storage of drinks bottles. On the door (reversible) balcony shelves made of plastic. Including a shelf for large bottles with a movable divider. Part of door shelves with variable installation height.

In the freezer (it is under the refrigerator compartment), Bosch KGN39X25 also has No Frost. Retractable roomy containers. There is a "Super freeze" mode - for quick freezing of "new" products without significantly increasing the temperature of the "old" ones (for example, replenishing stock in a supermarket). By the way, the same mode, only with different temperature realities, is available for the refrigerator compartment ("Supercooling"). The refrigerator is controlled electronically, for each of the chambers its own operating temperature is set - by pressing the buttons on the door of the refrigerator compartment. There is a light indication of the set temperature in the compartments (however, it is the set temperature, not the real one). There is a sound indication of an unclosed door. Noise level - up to 42 dB. Climatic class - SN-T (the manufacturer guarantees the normal operation of the refrigerator in the temperature range from +10 to + 43 ° С). Energy efficiency class - A. Cost - about 20 thousand rubles.

If a refrigerator for a dacha for 20 thousand is expensive, pay attention to the line of refrigerators from Hansa. For example, on a small (height - 162 cm) refrigerator FK273.3 with a reversible door. It will cost 13-15 thousand. Here auto-defrosting of the refrigerator compartment (drip system), but the freezer will have to be defrosted manually (but we save money when buying). The volume of the refrigerator compartment is 164 liters. There are 3 reversible glass shelves. At the bottom there is a drawer for vegetables. Three door balconies (also for large bottles). Stand for eggs. In general, a completely familiar package.

The freezer (volume - 87 l) has a drawer and two shelves with an openable front panel. Above them is a pull-out tray for freezing fruits, vegetables, ice (there is a tray). Freezing capacity - up to 5 kg per day. The refrigerator has an antibacterial wall coating (based on silver ions). Energy efficiency class - A. Climate class - SN-ST (operating temperature range: 10-38 ° С). Noise - up to 39 dB. A simple and convenient refrigerator with electromechanical control (the intensity of the compressor is set, not a specific temperature) is a good option for a summer residence, at least for a small family. Recall that the cost of a two-compartment refrigerator Hansa FK273.3 is 13-14 thousand rubles.

If you live in the country constantly throughout the summer, then it is desirable to be able not only to preserve food, but also the harvest. Many people freeze some of the crops grown on the site. A freezer comes in handy for this. For 10 thousand rubles you can buy a Hansa FZ136.3 90-liter freezer. A model without any special frills - a normal country hard worker. Inside there are 4 compartments for storing food, there is an antibacterial coating on the walls. Freezing capacity - up to 4.5 kg of food per day. Autonomous preservation of cold - up to 11 hours. Manual defrosting. Electromechanical control. Height - 84.5 cm. Climate class N-ST. Noise - up to 41 dB. Energy efficiency - class A +. If you need a more spacious model, take a look at the Hansa FZ214.3. Here, in principle, everything is the same, but the model is higher (146 cm), the volume is 185 liters. Freezing capacity - up to 8 kg per day. There is a "Super freeze" mode for new products. The cost is about 15 thousand rubles.

Sushi fruit

Or vegetables. Or mushrooms. Drying is one of the ways to preserve grown crops and forest gifts for a long time. It seems that a food dryer is a necessary device in any dacha where someone grows something. For details about what dryers are and about the basic rules for drying products, you can read our special material. Here we present the Binatone FD-2685 Fruit and Vegetable Dryer. This is a model with 5 removable transparent trays for drying food (diameter - 330 mm). Plastic trays, made of environmentally friendly SAN-plastic, recommended for the production of children's tableware. During prolonged heating, the materials, the manufacturer guarantees, do not emit harmful substances and toxic compounds.

This is a drying apparatus in which the process of dehydration (evaporation of "excess" moisture) of products occurs due to the operation of a heater and a distribution fan. The dryer is controlled electronically. There is a backlit display that shows the heating level and drying time. The timer will turn off the device when the drying process comes to an end (there is no need to constantly monitor the operation of the device). The presence of several modes of intensity of work allows the user to choose the optimal drying mode for different vegetables and fruits. The power of the device is 250 W. The cost is 2.5 thousand rubles.

Summer cottage and multicooker

The meaning of the appearance of a multicooker in the country is understandable - in it you can cook many dishes, as if not preparing them, while doing your summer cottage affairs. I put the food in the multicooker and returned to my favorite beds. The multicooker will prepare the dish itself and even keep it warm. Here we present a couple of interesting and, as it seems to us, quite country models (however, at the end of the summer season, the multicooker will come in handy in the city). Meet the Moulinex Multicooker MK302E30. There are 8 automatic and semi-automatic cooking programs for various products and dishes: "Milk porridge", "Buckwheat", "Stewing or soup", "Rice", "Wild rice", "Pilaf", "Baking", "Steam cooking" ( the delivery includes a special basket for steaming). A culinary variety is provided. There is a mode of keeping the prepared dish warm. The volume of a removable multicooker bowl is 5 liters. Non-stick coated bowl. There is a delayed start timer for most cooking programs. Electronic control, there is a display. Supplied with a measuring cup, a special plastic spoon, a recipe book. The power of the model is 600 W. The cost of Moulinex Multicooker MK302E30 is about 3.5-4 thousand rubles.

Another multicooker - Oursson MP5002PSD / SB - it costs a little more (5.7 thousand rubles). The main feature of this five-liter model (a bowl with a modern non-stick ceramic coating) is the ability to cook food under pressure. This possibility significantly reduces the cooking time for many products and dishes. There are also several automatic programs: Roast, Soup, Chicken / Duck, Beef / Lamb, Pork / Cutlets. There are special programs adapted for domestic users: "Jellied", "Casserole", "Porridge". Cycles of simmering and stewing, frying and steaming. There is an automatic heating of the finished dish. At the end of pressure cooking, the multicooker safely relieves pressure - steam comes out through a special valve. All basic operating settings are shown on the display. The delivery set includes a measuring cup, a spoon and a spatula for mixing food, a steaming stand, a recipe book. The power of the device is up to 1200 W. An excellent example of a modern multicooker. The cost of Oursson MP5002PSD / SB, we recall, is 5.7 thousand rubles.

Shred everything

Or almost everything. The next summer cottage device is more likely to come in handy in the process of processing the crop, although it will probably be suitable for everyday use if necessary. It's about a device for a quick shredder of vegetables. In principle, various vegetables and even fruits can be shredded with the help of the Belvar ETB-2 electric shredder. But, of course, it is most suitable for processing cabbage before pickling. What is always topical in Russia, in our opinion.

So, "Belvar ETB-2" is a device with a power of up to 230 watts. Equipped with three metal shredding discs. With its help, as already noted, you can easily chop cabbage (small and large), grind potatoes or cut them into bars. The latter is relevant for frying or freezing, however, one cannot but say, based on experience of use, that the device cuts potatoes into strips rather. It is also possible with this electric chopper to finely or medium chop other vegetables and fruits. Shredding performance from 15 kg per hour (small) to 45 kg per hour (large). Productivity when rubbing potatoes - up to 40 kg per hour. There is a reverse operating mode. The cost of the Belvar ETB-2 electric grinder is about 2.5 thousand rubles.

Country elements

In general, any kitchen equipment at the dacha can be useful - it depends on the dacha lifestyle, on what kind of dacha it is. Someone has a dacha - a large house with a fully-fledged kitchen. Some have more modest conditions. In any case, most of the summer residents, most likely, would like to have high-quality, but inexpensive equipment in the country.

For this occasion, we have found for you a diverse collection of Element kitchen appliances. These are quite high-quality kitchen appliances that the manufacturer offers for purchase at reasonable prices. The collection includes: airfryer (by the way, it can be very useful in the country, especially in case of bad weather, when cooking, for example, barbecue outdoors can be difficult), submersible (hand) and stationary blenders, hand mixer, chopper, toaster, several electric kettles. Prices, as already noted, are democratic. For example, a toaster (for delicious breakfasts on a summer cottage terrace) with two slots for bread, with a defrosting function and a grill for warming up buns costs about 1,000 rubles (model Element FE01PW). The Element WF01PW kettle that matches it in design, with a volume of 1.7 liters, with a closed heating element, with a power of 2200 W, costs the same.

Airfryer Element AF01W with a halogen heater, with electronic touch control (there is a display), with a volume of up to 17 liters, with a power of up to 1450 W, with the possibility of setting and maintaining the cooking temperature, with automatic cooking programs, with the “Self-cleaning” mode, with a removable lid, will cost approximately 4.5-5 thousand rubles. In general, for a summer residence, the Element collection of small kitchen appliances is just the right thing.

Country answer

Undoubtedly, completing a country kitchen with appliances is a purely individual matter. As already noted, the composition of the country "kitchen set" depends on many factors. We will be glad if you add others to these devices (which are mentioned here as examples, but users always have room to choose - now the range of kitchen equipment is wide) in the comments, add others - those that are in your country kitchens. Have a fruitful summer cottage season!

Recall that review materials on high-quality kitchen appliances, articles on the rules for choosing certain kitchen appliances are always available in the "Kitchen Appliances" section of the portal.

* - All prices in the material are indicated based on the results of monitoring of Russian online stores. As of May 2013. Depending on the region, the cost of equipment may vary.

At first glance, it seems that there is nothing difficult in preparing a dowry for an unborn baby. A pair of diapers, nappies and a formula for feeding - that's all a baby needs. But no. In order for the baby and his mother to feel comfortable and not need anything, you should prepare thoroughly for the appearance of the child. So, in order to be armed in any situation, a newborn person and his mother must have the following things:

Diapers. Despite the fact that today almost no one swaddles newborn children, diapers are still needed. And the assortment of children's goods in the store will be a vivid proof of this. And this is proof that diapers are in great demand. The expectant mother needs to purchase ten cotton diapers, ten knitted diapers and the same number of diapers measuring 120cmx150cm (the material is not important: either a bike or a calico).
Diapers. The baby will need reusable and disposable diapers. The first ones you need to have about 20 pieces. You can make them yourself from gauze or from an old sheet. Disposable diapers are available from a pharmacy or store. One package is enough for the first time.
Undershirts. The best undershirts are knitted. That is why baby products in the store Oh this position is offered only from such fabric. Knitted blouses are the most comfortable when putting them on the crumb. Undershirts should not have any fasteners or embellishments.
Caps. You will need several of them - some to put on on the street, others - at home.
Blankets. The expectant mother should buy two blankets in advance - one is thin, the other is synthetic or down.
Bed. Mandatory attribute of a child's dowry. The kid should feel comfortable and protected in it. Therefore, it is better not to skimp on the purchase.
Stroller. It is also not worth saving on a stroller. It should be comfortable for both the newborn baby and the mother. A prerequisite when buying a stroller is its permeability to the elevator (if you live in a high-rise building). Buy strollers with thick inflatable wheels.
Bath. The length of the bottom of the vessel must not be less than 65 cm.
Terry towel. Mom needs one large towel that will absorb water from the baby well after bathing.
Scissors. You need regular nail scissors.
Socks. Buy three pairs of thin socks.

Preparing for the trip

No matter how experienced traveler you are, don't leave everything for the last day - start preparing for your vacation trip in advance. Sometimes it is better to do this much in advance, if the trip is not planned for a week, but for a much longer period. Choosing insurance, developing a route, applying for visas, booking accommodation, studying information about the country (prices, food, transport, and so on), buying currency and resolving issues with bank cards - all this will take a lot of time.

We also recommend compiling a list of things for the trip in advance: take a sheet of paper, divide it into categories and write down everything that comes to mind. Write down everything that you remember for one or two days - so you will definitely not forget a single little thing. Checked! You can use dedicated smartphone apps, but we prefer a regular notebook. Once the list is compiled, you can subsequently use it many times, taking it as a basis - only minor details will change.

What to take with you on vacation?

Cards, money, documents

The first and most important thing to take with you on a trip is documents and money. This is the most important thing in the journey - keep it close to your heart. It is better to have a small handbag or backpack, which you will always carry with you and take in your hand luggage when flying.

So, what to take with you on vacation:

International passports and their copies. In general, keep copies of all documents on your phone, flash drive, cloud storage / virtual disk or email - but it's better to play it safe and choose several options at once. You may need these copies if the originals are lost.
hotel / apartment reservations.
Printouts and electronic versions air tickets.
Printouts and electronic versions insurance... Do not forget the certificate of vaccination, if required (for example, a number of African countries will not be allowed without an original certificate of vaccination against yellow fever).
Bank cards(it is better to have several cards and accounts of different banks). Life hack: keep money in accounts, not on cards, and use the Internet bank to transfer money immediately before withdrawing (preferably using a VPN, we will talk about this below). In this case, if the card is stolen, it will be empty, since all the money will be kept in the account.
Some cash. Cash should always be at hand - and in the currency of the country where you are located. For example, during our time, we twice forgot to exchange our euros for local dirhams in advance, because of this, at the right time we had to dodge to exchange currency - once late in the evening in Casablanca, I changed the money at the street with the mediation of the police, the second - also in the evening , only this time already in the Sahara near the Algerian border with the inhabitants of the village where we were supposed to spend the night.
Small format notebook with your notes and notes, pen and pencil... It can be used for communication and bargaining.
It will not hurt and phrasebook.
Download to your mobile phone or tablet programs with offline maps e.g. OSMAnd or Maps.Me. Find out what else can be useful when traveling.
International driving license and license (power of attorney), as well car documents, "green card", technical passport and technical inspection coupon, etc. when traveling in your own car.

First aid kit

A first aid kit is perhaps the most important thing on a trip. Forgetting a first-aid kit at home is more expensive for yourself, because you will have to fork out overseas (and you simply cannot buy some medicines, since they are not sold without a prescription).

Life hack: we usually form two first-aid kits (and we advise you), in one - only the most necessary drugs that we carry with us (for example, for allergies), in the second - all the rest. This is especially true if you are going to the jungle or other unsafe places.

List of medicines that you need to take with you on your trip:

pain relievers;
remedies for diarrhea;
antipyretic;
cold remedies;
antiallergic drugs;
antibiotics;
individual medicines for chronic diseases;
remedies for injuries;
remedies for motion sickness;
medicines for snake and insect bites;

Travel insurance it is convenient to choose and buy on the website - it compares the prices of different insurance companies.

Technique

Everything is individual here: someone does not take anything except a mobile phone and a camera, and someone stuffs a backpack to the eyeballs with equipment.

What, in our opinion, is worth taking:

laptop, if you need it for work;
mobile phone;
player;
a camera (preferably not a bulky DSLR with several large lenses; if you wish, you can replace it with a mobile phone with a good camera, if you are not a professional photographer);
e-book.

We also take an external hard drive, USB flash drive and small speakers. We usually don't buy a SIM card - you can chat for free via Skype, Viber, WhatsApp and similar applications.

If you are driving, a navigator comes in handy.

Life hack 1: for all wires (chargers, USB cords) we have a special bag so that they do not get lost - very convenient. We always take all gadgets together with a bag for wires into the cockpit - if the luggage is lost, the equipment will stay with us.

Life hack 2: do not connect to an insecure public network, for this it is better to use VPN... All public networks in hotels, hostels, cafes, shopping centers, etc. should be considered unsafe.

List of personal care and cosmetic items

As for personal hygiene and cosmetics, the list of things for a trip can be infinitely long if you do not stop yourself in time in an effort to take with you the entire arsenal of decorative cosmetics and other cosmetic tricks. Believe me, the minimum set is enough - new impressions of the trip, tanning and sunglasses will replace your cosmetics.

List of things to take with you on vacation:

toothpaste and brush;
shaving accessories;
nail scissors / nail clippers, whoever is more comfortable;
hairbrush;
deodorant (preferably solid);
wet wipes;
disposable handkerchiefs;
shampoo (2 in 1) in probes or a small tube;
some toilet paper and paper napkins;
a roll of disposable plastic bags is an extremely useful thing for a trip, it will always come in handy on the road;
paper bags if you are sick.

Additionally for women:

some cotton swabs and discs, sponge;
pocket mirror;
moisturizing cream;
Eyebrow Tweezers;
decorative cosmetics (hygienic lipstick and lip gloss, pencil / eyeliner, mascara, foundation);
makeup remover;
feminine hygiene products;
pumice stone for keratinized skin of the legs (especially important in southern countries).

For those who wear contact lenses, a container and solution for lenses will come in handy, for those who wear glasses - grab a spare just in case (glasses break and get lost - we have already encountered this more than once). Don't forget your sunglasses.

Here, perhaps, is the minimum of things that you can take with you on a trip. It is better to pour make-up remover and shampoo into special tubes of 100 ml - you can buy the so-called travel kit. It will come in handy if you are going on an independent trip, because not all hotels offer free toiletries. But already abroad it is easy to buy something that will run out or not taken - for example, a body and face scrub, shower gel, and so on.

Be careful with liquids carried into the cockpit- the volume of one tube with liquid should not exceed 100 ml, and the total volume - 1 liter. All liquids must be packed in a transparent plastic bag. In general, we recommend putting almost all hygiene items in luggage, except for wet wipes, a comb, a mirror, hygienic lipstick, toilet paper, paper and plastic bags - they can come in handy. Feel free to check everything else in your luggage - you are unlikely to need shampoo during the flight, right?

Clothes and footwear

The choice of clothing and footwear during travel should be approached with all responsibility. Think carefully about your wardrobe so that you don't end up with nothing to wear your shoes or dress with.

In general, the list of things for a trip is individual, but there are general recommendations. First, dress for the season and carefully read the weather forecast and the climate of the country you are traveling to. In case of rainy and cold weather (or if this is a feature of the country / region / season), you should take waterproof shoes and a raincoat.

Secondly, you should not pack a lot of clothes and shoes - practice shows that almost half of the things taken on a trip are not worn (especially in southern countries). You will bitterly regret that you took a dozen dresses and as many pairs of high-heeled shoes, only if you are not going to attend social events every evening. In addition, on vacation, most likely, you will not resist buying clothes - leave a place for it in your suitcase.

Third, try to take only those things that can be combined. Why do you need a thing on a trip if it does not fit anything?

Fourthly, choose only those clothes in which you will feel comfortable, which do not constrain, do not press or rub. Do not take unworn shoes - there will be calluses. We take old shoes, which we don't mind throwing away in case of anything, and on a trip we change them to new ones if the old one is torn.

Do not forget to wear a hat if you are going to hot and sunny countries. Better to take a cap, as hats wrinkle a lot. Or purchase a hat locally.

What clothes you need to take with you on a trip:

trousers / jeans (in hot countries, light and light are suitable, trousers are especially relevant in Muslim countries);
breeches / shorts;
a pair of T-shirts and / or T-shirts;
a pair of shirts;
blouse;
windbreaker;
light sneakers / sneakers (it's better to go);
shoes / sandals / ballet flats;
slippers;
swimming trunks / swimsuit, if you go to the sea;
several changes of underwear;
several pairs of socks.

What else to take with you on vacation?

The list can also include such necessary and useful things for travel as:

Swiss knife;
corkscrew;
lighter and matches;
fumigator;
thread and needle;
pins;
small flashlight;
an adapter for various types of outlets, as well as a tee or a compact extension cord (useful for those who leave for a long time and take a lot of equipment with them);
a cloth napkin (or a microfiber towel that absorbs moisture well);
toothpicks;
scotch tape or cling film for wrapping a backpack at the airport and so on - in general, something that can make life much easier.

The things listed in this list, although not necessary to take on a trip, are still very desirable - at the right time they will help out a lot.

In addition to all of the above, we always have two plastic mugs and forks, a teaspoon, a camping kettle and a coffee pot - thanks to these items, you can save on drinks and prepare them at any time.

Despite the impressive list of things for a trip, with the right packing, all this (and even more) can easily fit into a backpack with a volume of 45 liters (for each person). It is better to put things in a suitcase and a backpack with rollers, so they will not wrinkle much, and some of the things can be shoved into shoes and filled in voids.

Don't forget to take food for the trip - something nutritious like dried fruits and nuts, as well as water. It is also helpful to have a couple of tea bags, coffee and sugar on the first night at the hotel.

What to take on a trip with a child

If you go on a trip with children, the amount of necessary travel items will increase significantly. Here you will not get off with a small suitcase: you need to take care of what to do with the child on the plane and on vacation, pick up clothes for all occasions, and if the child is small - decide the issue with food, and so on.

So, what should you take on a trip with your child?

The documents: the child's photo must be pasted into the parent's passport, or he must have his own passport, a visa and medical insurance must be issued for him. If the child is traveling with only one parent, have a travel permit from the other parent.
Clothes: choose clothes in such a way that there is always a change if the child gets dirty or tears the clothes. It is better to have light and warm sweaters for emergencies.
First aid kit(all the same medications as described above, plus individual medications for the child if there are chronic diseases).
Toys: Think about what you can take your child on a trip to organize his leisure time - for example, take a tablet with downloaded movies and games, a coloring book, a few favorite toys.
Food: biscuits, sliced fruit, water and juice.
For small children It is worth taking on a trip absorbent diapers, antibacterial wipes, tissue paper, a small blanket and spare diapers, a light blouse (air conditioning is often on the plane), a kangaroo backpack or a folding stroller. Prepare baby food for the first time, until you get used to a new place and find a supermarket.

What not to take with you on your trip

We understand that we want to take with us on a trip a lot of necessary and useful things, without which, it seems, all the pleasure of traveling will disappear. But you need to take a sober view of things and ruthlessly cross off from the list something that can be easily dispensed with or that can be replaced with something on the spot.

Hair dryer

Girls will understand how difficult it is without him. However, remember that many hotels have one. If you are going on a budget independent trip, it makes sense to cut your hair so that the hairstyle does not require styling, or you can tuck your hair into a ponytail / braid / and so on. Well, in the event that it is essential for you to have a hairdryer, take a travel one.

Iron

A travel iron is a very convenient thing when traveling, but you can easily do without it. Firstly, let your wardrobe contain things made of not very wrinkled materials. If the item is wrinkled, hang it in the bathroom while you shower - the steam will smooth it a little. You can also sprinkle it with water and hang it on a hanger to dry. In many hotels, an iron can be borrowed from the reception.

Books

Books are heavy and take up a lot of space. It's much easier to grab an e-book, tablet, or read from a mobile phone (which is what I do when traveling). Of course, there are not enough paper books - you can take a small paperback book or buy a convenient flipbook, or you can visit a bookstore abroad (it is unlikely there will be books in Russian, but what is not a reason to tighten up forgettable English?).

Expensive jewelry

There is nothing to talk about - it is better to leave expensive decorations at home.

Keep this list and check it periodically throughout your life.

Guy Seregin

In order not to feel that life is passing you by.
To understand that you are the same Real Man, about whom the movies are being made and about whom all the virgins of Northern Butovo dream.
In order not to regret the missed chances.
In order not to be silent in the company when your friends lie about their exploits.
So that there is something to write about in your memoirs (if you admit at least for a minute that you will write them).
In order, dying, to look around your creative path with a fading gaze and say: “Khy! Descendants, give me another bottle of Guinness, a ship, and you can bring me out of the chamber. I do not regret anything".
In general, in order to fulfill the duty destined for a man by nature,

holidays obligatory
to visit

King's birthday, Amsterdam

On April 30, Amsterdam turns into a huge bazaar - everyone sells anything on the streets. Music, dancing, beer, flower parades.

Love Parade, Berlin

A magnificent bacchanalia of lovers of "techno" and other types of extreme music. It takes place in July as a procession. You can be a hooligan - the police stations are still overcrowded.

Carnival in Rio de Janeiro

Takes place in the last week of February. The main event is a two-day dance marathon. It is forbidden to be completely naked, but girls get by with pieces of plaster, and there are tens of thousands of these girls. The main thing is not to stop.

Mardi Grass, New Orleans

The apogee of the holiday is the week before Lent. Sorcerers, booze, sex on the streets, and all - in the name of Christianity! Anyone who does not fulfill his duty in the crowd is doomed to eternal torment in paradise.

Paratrooper Day, Moscow

Gorky Park, August 2. A unique chance to test how cool these guys are and try your hand (one last time).

master

So as not to spit at all.

write down

orgasmic screams of a girlfriend and use them as a greeting on an answering machine.

bury

treasure and make an accurate map of its location.

send

boss, without worrying at this moment about the career consequences.

appear

to a meeting of graduates, dressed up as a bum.

arrange

crazy night with all your ex-wives and girlfriends at the same time.

spend

test drive a racing car.

a concert grand piano on the twelfth floor without an elevator - in the company of another amateur loader of the same kind.

get busy

having sex in complete silence, when the girl's parents in the next room are watching the news.

to discuss

Nuances of Schrödinger's Wave Equation with Scarlett Johansson. On a moonlit night, in broken English.

to help

at least one girl, without losing interest in women forever.

women who need to be known without resorting to the power of money

Nurse

She understands anatomy, she does good. All you need is a box of chocolates.

The boss

No office romances! Fast, impetuous sex on her desk - and interesting work in a new place.

Foreigner

It is untranslatable. Stormy night at the Zoological Museum. Although it is possible that she really was looking for the Kremlin.

Childhood friend

You don't need to get to know her. Even if the foreplay was in fifth grade, it's never too late to continue.

Stewardess

Trap her on the ground. Surely she lives somewhere, and there is a bell on her door. The rest is a matter of technology.
