Universal travel adapter
With the various types of power sockets worldwide, a universal travel adapter is simply a must-have. Choose a model with USB ports so you can charge several devices at once. Some adapters even adjust to the local voltage, which is ideal for safely charging sensitive electronics.
A polarised pair of sunglasses
A good pair of sunglasses is essential for protecting your eyes from harmful UV radiation. So look beyond just brand or design and choose glasses with polarised lenses. These reduce annoying glare and also ensure clear vision. Ideal when exploring the area with a rental car! Also make sure the glasses fit well and sit comfortably, because you'll probably wear them all day.
A suitcase strap
A suitcase strap keeps your suitcase firmly closed, even if the zip or fastening unexpectedly comes open during transport. This is particularly handy should your zip get damaged during the holiday. The strap can also deter thieves, as it makes it harder for them to quickly slip into your suitcase. Finally, the suitcase strap makes it easier to recognise your suitcase, for example on the baggage carousel at the airport.
Wearable power bank
Nothing is as annoying as a phone that's constantly almost empty. Prevent unnecessary frustration and worried family members and bring a portable power bank. Choose a model with a high capacity so you can charge your devices several times. There are even models available that use solar energy, ideal for adventurous holidays where you're without a power socket for longer periods!
A great cap
A cap is more than a stylish accessory; alongside sunscreen, it's one of the most effective protections against the harsh sun. Your scalp in particular is prone to burning. Therefore choose a hat of breathable material such as cotton or linen and with a wide brim for maximum protection. Other suitable sun-protective options are bucket hats, flat-peak caps, or straw hats.
Lightweight jacket
Even on a tropical island, the weather can be unpredictable. A lightweight jacket is therefore no unnecessary luxury. Think of raincoats made of breathable, waterproof materials that offer protection without taking up much space. Perfect for unexpected summer showers or cool evenings. A good alternative is a men's cardigan for the cool evenings on the terrace!
Padlocks
A simple but important accessory for securing your suitcases and backpacks. You can choose a lock with a numeric code or a simple key lock. When travelling to the United States, it's wise to get a TSA lock. This can be opened by customs and thus prevents unnecessary damage to the locks or luggage during checks.
