Hey Lykkers 🎒✨ Ever packed for a trip and felt like you had everything… only to realize halfway through that you forgot something super small but super useful?

That was me — more than once. So today I'm sharing a list of tiny backpack items that made a BIG difference for me. Hopefully, this saves you the trouble I went through 😅

🧻 1. Tissues & Wet Wipes

This may sound obvious, but I've forgotten tissues more times than I'd like to admit.

Public restrooms, spilled drinks, sudden sneezes — you'd be surprised how often these come in handy. Wet wipes are even better for sticky hands or quick cleanups.

🔋 2. Power Bank

Your phone is your map, translator, camera, and connection to the world.

I once ran out of battery in a city I didn't know well, and let me tell you — it was not fun. Now I never leave without a fully charged power bank (and cable too!).

🧴 3. Travel-size Hand Sanitizer

Especially useful in crowded places, public transport, or after touching money. It's light, small, and keeps your hands clean before eating.

🖊️ 4. Pen & Tiny Notebook

Yes, even in this digital world.

I use mine to jot down ideas, note a local phrase, or even pass a message when my phone dies. Also useful when filling out forms or making quick sketches.

🩹 5. Band-Aids

Blisters from new shoes or random scrapes? A few band-aids can save the day.

I once wore brand-new sneakers to walk 10km — not my best move 😭 Band-aids saved me halfway through.

🎧 6. Earphones (Wired or Wireless)

Whether it's to block out noise, listen to music, or answer calls — having a pair in your bag is a must. I've used mine while waiting in long lines or just zoning out on the bus.

💳 7. Extra Cash + Spare Card

Sometimes e-wallets don't work, or you misplace your main card. I always keep a bit of emergency cash and a backup card hidden deep in my backpack — just in case.

☁️ Bonus: Foldable Bag

It weighs nothing but has saved me many times when I ended up shopping more than expected, or needed a separate bag for wet clothes or food.

So Lykkers, that's my personal checklist of small lifesavers 🧡

What's something tiny that YOU always pack but others tend to forget? Let me know — maybe I'll add it to my list next time! 🙌

Let's help each other travel smarter, not heavier. Safe packing! 🧳🌍
