The next big low budget trip is just around the corner and you're once again lacking any structure when packing your suitcase - you have no idea what should be included and what is absolutely unnecessary. Here we have a few useful tips on what you should definitely have in your luggage when traveling cheaply!
Backpacker backpack for cheap travel
It starts here: all the low budget holiday equipment has to be packed up somewhere! It's not that easy to find the right piece of luggage.
Backpacker backpacks are practical and easy to carry, so go bargain hunting! On Amazon.de, for example, you can find great deals at affordable prices! Take a look here .
important documents
What should not be missing is very clear:
- Airplane/bus/train ticket
- Passport / Personal
- visa
- Driver's license
- Hotel/Hostel/Car Rental Confirmations
- Credit card / debit card
- Cash, Euro/Traveller Checks
- Health insurance card
- Vaccination certificate
- International student ID card
- Foreign health insurance certificate
We also give two valuable tips:
- Store your important documents safely in a neck pouch or similar so that you have everything at a glance and safe from thieves.
- Before you leave, make copies of all documents and carry the copies with you somewhere else in your backpack... in case you lose something.
Shoes for every occasion
Many people forget that low budget holidays are often associated with hotels or accommodations that are not particularly luxurious. Make sure to pack flip-flops to avoid unpleasant athlete's foot or similar uninvited illnesses.
Also, sturdy shoes for nature and cultural excursions! You can find suitable offers for outdoor stuff with a student discount here .
Weather-appropriate clothing
Find out what the weather is like in your destination country at the time of your low budget stay. There are a few things to consider here:
- Is it warm or cold?
- Is it perhaps rainy season?
- Are there frequent weather fluctuations at this time?
- Is it windy/icy/stormy?
Depending on the situation, pack suitable clothing such as a rain cape, rain protection, winter jacket, thermal clothing or sun-protective clothing. And of course matching clothes! Take a look here for cheap clothing offers for your low budget trip!
Sun and mosquito protection
Very important: If you are flying somewhere warm, pack enough sun lotion and of course mosquito repellent or general protection against bugs in your backpack.
You shouldn't save on either one or the other, as a real sunburn or tons of mosquito bites can really ruin your cheap vacation! There are special holiday sets for this occasion .
Also remember that an after sun lotion or cooling gel is not a bad idea if you get burned.
travel pharmacy
No matter where you are going, this must be in every travel suitcase: A first-aid kit with the most important remedies for pain of all kinds. This includes, among other things
- Travel chewing gum for nausea
- Anti-diarrheal medication
- Cold pills
- Plasters and gauze bandages
- Remedies for fever

- Disinfectant spray
- Scissors and tweezers
- condoms
If you need special medication, of course don't forget it! Take a look here for important travel first aid kits for your low budget trip.
This should definitely not be missing from your luggage!
