What are the things you'll need on a trip?

Yes... I'm not going to start mentioning the "basic" utensils you'll need for your travel. 

The luggage, some clothes, yeah yeah, and the toothbrush and toothpaste!! 

These are really basic stuff, so let's move away from this.

One of the things I like to carry is a journal. 

Those of you who dislike writing, its okay. 

Nobody is interested in what you write, so it's fine to be creative and doodle instead of writing. 

Expressing yourself through writing at least a little during an inspirational moment while traveling is a very significant thing. 

It may sound trivial, but NO... it is important.

It is definitely tiresome to record every single detail in your journal, but when you take a peek at it later in time, you'll be amazed at the things you've done, places you've visited, and things you've felt that you have forgotten over time.
