Winter could not come this year due to global warming.. We entered December, there was no snow anywhere in Turkey.. While we were waiting for rain and snow for fear of drought, it finally snowed in mid-January.
Holiday plans have already started to be made while we were missing the winter as a country and gradually getting out of the effect of the corona virus.. While making holiday plans, we decided to prepare a list of Things to Take While Going on Vacation in Winter for you.. Our list is full and consists of things that will be very useful for you.
What to Buy When Going on Vacation in Winter
Those who want to have a holiday in winter generally prefer skiing the most.. There are many winter holiday options besides skiing.. Our list of things to take on vacation in winter consists of things that will be useful for you, apart from what should be in your standard suitcase in winter.. In other words, our list will not have things that should be like sweaters, trousers and coats.
We prepared our list so that you don’t regret why I didn’t bring this or that with me when you go on vacation.. Needs vary from person to person, of course.. If you share with us in the comments what is not on our list but you think it should be on this list, our list will be much more efficient in every respect.. Yep, here’s the Things to Take While Going on Vacation in Winter list.
Thermal Lining
I would like to start our list first with the strategically important thermal underwear. Thermal underwear is really important in winter travels.. Since the biggest problem in winter is cold, thermal underwear will keep you warm and less affected by the cold.. Therefore, a good thermal underwear is your best friend during your winter vacation.
Let me say this about thermal underwear.. A quality thermal underwear will cause you to sweat profusely, which can make you sick.. Therefore, when buying thermal underwear, pay attention to the cotton, polyester ratio in the product.. Also, it doesn’t make much sense to dress thickly on top of each other in winter.. In this case, it can cause you to sweat and suffocate..
Thermal Socks
How important is thermal underwear thermal socks are also important. Fingertips are the hottest spots in winter.. At this point, my Erzurum trip comes to mind that I did not feel my fingers in Erzurum because of the cold.. When choosing thermal socks, it is important to choose socks that will not tighten your feet in the shoes.. And don’t forget to take lots of socks with you.
Polar Clothing
Thermal fleece clothes, which are one or two upper layers of the underwear, can be your best friend in the cold of winter.. Fleece clothes are generally made of polyester.. So you don’t need to look for wool. You can browse polar clothing sold at Decathlon at the polar clothing spot.
Spare Shoes
Spare shoes are very important in the list of things to buy when going on holiday in winter.. Because in any other case, this shoe will be very useful for you.. Spare shoes will be your savior in case your shoes get wet due to snow in winter.. For spare shoes, you can choose a nice boat with wool inside.
Gloves
<
If you are going to a very cold place in winter, gloves are a must. Gloves are essential when skiing and walking in cold weather.. Gloves are now made for touch phones. You can choose gloves with sensitive fingertips.. No matter cotton or leather, definitely take gloves with you when you go on vacation in winter.
Scarf
Speaking of gloves, we shouldn’t say scarf. The scarf you will use to protect your neck and chest from the cold will also prevent you from getting sick in winter.. When choosing scarves, it would be nice to choose scarves that will not make you sweat a lot.
Beret
<
We said gloves, we said scarf, so if we don’t say beanie, our list will be incomplete. The best way to protect the head and ear from the cold is to wear a beanie.. Especially if your beanie is made of wool or fur, you can seriously reduce the cold effect.. Don’t forget to take a beanie with you when you go on vacation in winter.
Facial Moisturizer
Winter means dry weather. Especially if you are going to any ski resort for skiing, your skin will become quite dry due to the altitude and the sun.. The solution is a nice moisturizer. A good moisturizer you use for hands and face will save your skin from dryness and cracking.
Lip Cream
In winter, it is impossible not to buy a moisturizing cream for the skin and not buy a lip cream. Likewise, the lips dries up and cracks immediately due to dry air.. A nice lip balm is one of the care products that should be in your bag when traveling or in your daily life in winter.
Sun Goggles
Snow white in winter and the sun can affect the eyes quite a lot. We’ve all experienced the glare of winter.. For this situation, it is useful to have sunglasses with you in winter as well as in summer.
Sunscreen
Sunscreen is at the top of the list of things to take on vacation in summer, and it is also necessary in winter. Because the cold and the winter sun burn the skin. Do not forget to take sunscreen with you to prevent redness, especially after skiing.
Thermos
There’s nothing like drinking hot tea or coffee from the thermostat in the coldest times of winter.. Therefore, do not forget to have a thermos, even a small one, with you in winter.
Dirty Bag & Luggage Organizer
If you don’t want to put your dirty clothes in the same place with the clean ones, it’s better to get the dirty bag or luggage organizer. It doesn’t matter whether it’s summer or winter, these two items will come in handy.. In this case, try not to put your things wet if possible..
Pain Relief, Stomach and Cold Medicine
Painkillers, stomach and cold medicine are a must on our every trip.. We definitely have these drugs in the glove box of our car or in our suitcase.. When it comes to the winter season, it will be useful to take a cold medicine with you.
Wound Cream and Band-Aid
The wound cream and band-aid, which should be with you when you go on a trip or vacation, no matter whether it is summer or winter, can prevent you from losing your holiday pleasure.. No one wants to have an accident on vacation, but wound cream and band-aid are very important, especially for families with children.
Disinfectant & Cologne
Disinfectant and cologne, which is one of the most important items on the list of things to take on vacation in winter, entered our lives very quickly during the pandemic.. Even though there are many businesses, it would be good to have these cleaning products, which are needed everywhere in every way, individually or in your suitcase.
Wet Wipes
Wet wipes we have the ability to use in all areas of the country. Well, if we don’t have this product, which we use in so many areas, with us when we travel in winter, it would be impossible.. From hand cleaning to shoe cleaning; Wet wipes, which are a cure-all from floor cleaning to furniture cleaning, are your most important need in travels. 🙂
Waist Bag & Backpack
To avoid worrying about where your valuables are while on vacation, a belt bag or backpack will come in handy a lot.. A waist or backpack is very important in terms of security, especially when traveling abroad.. It will be much safer to carry your identity, passport, key, money, whatever valuables you have in your waistband or backpack.
