What to Pack for a 1 day Business Trip
Here are some essentials you’ll want to bring with you on your upcoming business trip:
A laptop – It’s always helpful to have a laptop with you on a trip, as you can use it to stay connected and work while on the go. Make sure to pack an appropriate charger and adapter, as well as a backup battery if necessary.
A passport – Even if your trip is short-term, it’s always a good idea to carry your passport with you in case you need to leave the country.
An ID card – In addition to your passport, make sure to bring along an ID card so that you can get into hotels and restaurants without having to show your passport.
A phone charger – Unless you’re staying in a hotel with wireless internet, it’s always a good idea to pack a phone charger so that you can stay connected while on your trip.
Some forms of currency – You may not need all of these currencies, but it’s always helpful to have some options on hand. Consider bringing US dollars, Euros, and British pounds.
A travel journal – Taking some time to write down your thoughts and impressions after your trip will help you recall all of the great memories in detail later. This is also a great way to document any unique locales or attractions that you may have visited.
A medical insurance policy – In the unlikely event that something bad happens while you’re away from home, having medical insurance will help to cover any costs related to your injury.
A converter – If your trip takes you outside of the US or Canada, be sure to pack a converter in case you need to use local currency.
A small bag for carrying your belongings – This can be anything from a small crossbody bag to a larger shoulder bag.
Business cards – When meeting new people or networking, it’s always helpful to carry around business cards with your contact information. This way, anyone who may be interested in talking to you can find out more about what you do and where you work!
Small note card holder – Whenever possible, try to keep small notes handy that include key points about the meeting or conversation that you’re involved in. This will help jog your memory later on if something important was discussed and forgotten.
Sunscreen – Sun protection is key when traveling to tropical areas, especially during the summer months. Bring along enough sunscreen for yourself and any members of your travel party who may need it as well. . . . And remember: Always apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside!
