Businesses never stop, and in the corporate world it is necessary to go on various trips, for conferences, meetings, presentations for new products, workshops, conventions… You always need to have your suitcase ready!

As a general rule, as the day of the trip approaches and you have everything prepared, we always have a tendency to worry that we have forgotten something, even if they are very irrelevant items. But you need to take everything on a long business trip!

However, even though everyone likes to travel, sometimes it can be quite exasperating. Consequently, today in this article we are going to give you some advice so that you don’t forget to pack a series of items that will make your journey on the plane or train much more tolerable and pleasant.

Say goodbye to boredom, pain, and bad odours! Let’s start!

Air Fresheners

Did you mention bad odours? That’s right, these areas with the hustle and bustle of people and big groups can have bad odours, and so, to avoid this, the best thing to do would be to bring in your handbag a small bottle of air freshener with a lavender, vanilla or jasmine etc. scent.

So that you can have a more relaxing journey!

Snacks to warn off your hunger

It is undeniable that on longer business trips, you are going to get hungry. In order to avoid paying extortionate amounts of money for food on your train or at the airport, the best thing to do would be to bring granola bars, biscuits, dried fruits or chocolates with you from home. This will make everything easier!

Electronic devices

What are snacks without a good film? A tablet or an iPad will help the journey time pass much quicker, entertaining you with a film, series, music to listen to or games to play.

A laptop is also a good item to bring, but don’t forget your headphones! Now you are ready to hide from the world for a little bit.

Stretches and yoga

Yoga? On public transport? Of course, why not? It is very important to ensure that you do not spend too many hours sitting down, and so stretching, walking up and down the aisles of the train or plane, and doing some yoga poses that don’t require you to move from your spot.

But don’t forget to bring some comfortable clothes to change out of once you reach your destination!

Have a nap with earplugs and an eye mask

Very often we are tempted to have a nap on a long journey (or even a shorter one if we are prepared to not fall asleep for very long). In order to do this, some earplugs and an eye mask will be your best friends so that you can have a deep and undisturbed sleep, without noise or lights.

Entertainment with books

A good way to entertain yourself from your seat is to read a book or try to solve some crosswords or sudokus.

Any form of entertainment is fine, but this particular method is perfect if you like to read or solve puzzles. They will never go out of style!

A little first aid kit

This is important as this is where you can keep any tablets that you need to take, some plasters, etc. You never know when you might need it, as injuries can happen when you least expect them! As we say, prevention is better than the cure!

Always stay hydrated!

Our bodies respond to any changes in climate and temperature; therefore, it is important to always keep a bottle of water with us.

It could be foldable – there are loads of cute ones! And if not, you could always choose a carton of water, as these are also becoming more popular.

Hydrate on the outside, too

The inside of our body isn’t the only part of us that suffers, as our skin and hair does too, especially in tropical climates.

The easiest thing to do would be to take a pot of moisturiser with you for your hands, face and some lip balm. You will be glowing!

 Now you are ready to leave for your business trip! But, do you know how to care for your hair whilst you are away?
