What to Pack, What not to Pack to New Zealand

So, this is your first time to New Zealand and you really do not know what all things you should let go inside your travel bag! Do not worry; we are here to give you an expert’s guide here. While traveling to a place like New Zealand, make sure that you pack for all the seasons. This is a great help and lets you revel in the beauty without worrying about how the weather surprises you.

Clothing

This depends on the place you are coming from and the place you are heading to. Your luggage should have enough clothes that make your vacation hassle-free. Pack clothes that you can wear in different layers as the weather is ever-changing and very less predictable here. Surprisingly, you can even experience four seasons in one single day. There can even be cold days in summer and warm ones in winter. However, do not over stuff your bag with clothes that you are not sure of wearing. Also, keep some room in your luggage for the souvenirs that you will bring back from New Zealand.

Must-haves

Make sure you are carrying your hiking boots even if you are not on an adventure trip. The terrain of New Zealand requires wearing them, at times. But, make sure that they are clean before you pack them as they check them at the border and dirty shoes will consume your time at immigration. Fast drying t-shirts would be a blessing. Also, carry fleece vests, jackets, rain jacket, etc. A tiny-sized umbrella too would be good in your bag. Even get a cap or hat for you along with sunglasses.

Toiletries

Toiletries are actually not needed as they consume much of your space in luggage. Do away with shampoo, body lotions, sunscreens, conditioners and the like. There are many shops here that provide you with exactly what you need.

Medical Supplies

Make sure you carry all the prescription medicines. Confirm with your doctor and pack the syringes if you require. People who suffer with blood circulation problems should make sure to take aspirin or prescribed pills for particular vein problems before you travel in the flight. Wearing special stockings is a must. Do away with alcohol and drink more fluids including water, which will make your journey easy. As New Zealand also houses sand flies, make sure you carry insect repellents in your bag.

Gadgets and stuff

Carry your mobile phones and chargers with you. If your phone or gadgets require adapters, carry them too. Make sure do not bring all the gadgets you are dependent on. Carry only the necessary ones. There are many internet cafés here, so no need to carry mega-sized cards. You can download the photos even on CDs or DVDs if need be.

There are so many things that you need to carry with you and the list is long. Here, we have just mentioned the essentials so that your trip to New Zealand is a good experience for you.
