Hello Backpacking!
- When is your last time traveling?
- Have you ever do solo backpacking?
- For how long you've been traveling on the road?
For me traveling is addictive, especially when I do the solo backpacking. Through do backpacking, we are ready to explore anything what the life brings. We open our mind and our heart to experience and new people.
Traveling is not about catch up with touristic destination and take picture in front of a landmark. Traveling is journey and I enjoy every moment I spend. The longer I have my time spent on the road, it will be better and richer in experience.
I prefer to have long backpacking journey, minimum for 5 days. Five days is not that short, so you are not in hurry and able to enjoy the whole journey peacefully.

The Essentials Items
Based on my experience to do solo traveling 55 days to rural area in Cina, here are 5 necessary items I always bring in my backpack before traveling long:
1. Hand sanitiser/wet tissue
Sometimes, it is not easy to fine fresh water to wash hands before eating. Bring a bottle of hand sanitizer/wet tissue would be the first barrier of your healthy while traveling.
2. Bottle for Mineral water
Buying a bottle of mineral water could be a waste of money and environment since you produce more trash to this world. Bring your bottle could save your money and please make sure that you only refill it in hygiene water environment.
3. Tolak Angin (Herbal Medicine)
There will be times when you might not feeling well. It's the time for Tolak Angin saving the day. If you travel short, you can have Tolak Angin every day. However, if you are traveling long (more than 15 days) and you go far to kampong (village) or travel abroad, better to drink Tolak Angin when you feel at the weakest. It would help to maintain your body system.
4. Diarrhoea Medicine
Actually nobody wish to use this medicine while traveling, hahaha. However, prevention is always the best. When you have your stomachache, the nearest store could be hundreds kilometres away, and could you do? Diarrhoea medicine could save your day. Thanks God, this is the only medicine I never use while I am traveling :)
5. Aromatherapy Roll On
It always needed. When you are traveling on the bus, or going outside at the night, aromatherapy roll on would help you to feel warm.
When you are traveling away from the city or going abroad, you might forget to bring the crucial matters mentioned above. Since, I had experience if you were sick on the journey, oh man, it's so difficult to find doctor at a time.
It's OK to bring these 5 significant healthy tools as prevention, better than got sick and left out on the nowhere without these.

Safety Tips
More safety tips while traveling is, to be modest. Do not use valuable things, be simple, and selective when you asked information for road direction around. Moreover, try to show that you have this confident aura, and try not to be seen stand out as a tourist hahaha. And the most important thing is, put your positive minds high but keep realistic.
Now, it's time for you to check your backpack before go traveling. Have you keep these 5 vital items mentioned above in your backpack?
