3.Keep driving essentials like car oil, petrol or diesel, and an extra tire, etc, handy. You need to be prepared for any worst situation. You might not get any petrol stations on your way or you might have a tire burst and the mechanic may be far away. Hence, be prepared for such situations.

4.Carry basic food items and enough water so that if you plan to travel without taking frequent breaks, you don’t have any hardship.

5. Keep essential toiletries as you might feel irritated if you don’t keep yourself clean and hygienic. It is always to keep yourself fresh and clean as you might accidentally bump into some handsome stranger.
