Top 5 Travel Items

I will be travelling to Bali,  Indonesia in exactly two weeks from today and I am extremely excited. Though I have been to Bali three years ago, this is my first time exploring the sights as a tourist. The last time I was there was for work so I wasn't able to see anything much.

Anyway, I have been thinking of what items should I bring and hopefully this will help you in your travels. See you!

1. Sunblock.

Travelling to the tropics will require sufficient sun protection. Besides a hat, sunblock should be your number 1 travel companion. I will be bringing my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with SPF 50+ which is light and non-greasy.

2. Beachwear.

Now that our skin has been slathered with sunscreen, we can happily frolic in the sun in beachwear. I will be bringing two pairs of swim shorts for my four day-trip so I have a spare one when the other pair is wet. I got mine from Topman and Cotton On.

3. Footwear.

There will be a lot of walking as my friends have planned to visit temples and museums throughout our Bali trip, so I will definitely pack comfortable footwear. I haven't decided which shoes to wear but it is most likely be a slip-on or an espadrille. Also, pretty much everyone in south east Asia wears flip flops and not just on the beach, so a standby pair will be nice.

4. Passport Holder.

I got mine from Muji and it has been a lifesaver because I can put all the important cards like my ID, credit card, etc. I also keep my cash in a zipped compartment. It may seem rather dorky but it helps a lot so I don't misplace an important card in the rush to make your flight. My passport holder also has a space for pen which is always necessary to fill up the embarkation card.

5. Zipper Storage Bags.

Besides the obvious reasons of keeping your toiletries in these bags, I also use them to store other items such as dirty socks and underwear. For this trip, it will probably store my wet swim shorts so I can shove it in my luggage without having to worry about having the rest of my luggage dry.

I have only listed the top 5 items I can think of right now, there will probably a part two of this series in a few days.


See you soon!

The Beat: Yelle - "Complètement Fou"

I have been listening to a whole lot of the featured artist below, french pop sensation, Yelle from the past year or so. It started with this dance trend called techtonic where one of the songs was her single called A Cause Des Garcons. However, this year, she has come out with a much electro pop sound via producer Antoine Chabert.

Below is her full performance and interview at KEXP. Enjoy!
