What every journalism correspondent has to take into account before you travel. The list to be considered for the trip is:

1 .- wash bag. I put it at number one, because it is very important to be comfortable, well-groomed and with minimal tools to feel comfortable and do not want to go home.

2 .- Notebook and pen. There are always thoughts that point, moments to remember in words or pictures that will then be a priceless memory of your trip. Not to forget addresses, phone numbers and emails that do not want to lose.

3 .- Country guide, city … If you take a guide, always more comfortable for you, and optionally also do not forget to print the information you’ve looked on the Internet or the addresses you have given your friends. So, if you do not have to wander aimlessly and try to blind, a guide for it is necessary and strategically vital, this mostly by going to a place that never has been. You can also use it whenever you need an accommodation, a map for advice on the culture.

4 .- Camera. What would travel without those images in which months and years later we recreate. The photograph is part of the journey and sometimes behind the lens are many details that would otherwise escape us. Being the most standard digital cameras to handle, because once at home can upload photos to Flickr, Picasa, etc. and share, send them or edit them before shipping.

You can not forget: It takes at least a spare battery and charging of both each night, it is unacceptable that the camera will stop lying and unable to take pictures after having been firing all day when you get to that evening so colorful.

5 .- listening and reading. This in any format. Depending on whether you travel by car or public transport, although it is always advisable that we occupy as little as possible.

With these accessories will be ready for an unforgettable trip to immortalize three activities and interesting when you know the society and culture, visit: this is to take a look at local newspapers, visiting a market and see life from a terrace.

Bon voyage!
