If you are planning to travel to the USA now, there are some essential things you should consider carrying with you:
- Passport and visa: Make sure you have a valid passport and any necessary visas before traveling to the USA.
- COVID-19 vaccination certificate: You may need to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result to enter the country, depending on your country of origin and the state you are visiting.
- Face masks: Many states have mask mandates in place, and it’s a good idea to carry a few extra masks in case you lose or damage one.
- Hand sanitizer: Hand sanitizer is always handy to have, especially when traveling.
- Weather-appropriate clothing: Depending on the time of year and the state you are visiting, you may need to carry weather-appropriate clothing, such as warm clothes in winter or light and breathable clothes in summer.
- Comfortable shoes: You may be doing a lot of walking, so comfortable shoes are a must.
- Power adapter: The USA uses a different electrical outlet than most other countries, so you may need a power adapter to charge your electronic devices.
- Travel insurance: Consider getting travel insurance to protect you from unexpected events, such as flight cancellations or medical emergencies.
- Credit/debit cards: Carry some cash, but most places in the USA accept credit/debit cards.
- Personal medication: If you are on any medication, make sure you carry enough for the duration of your trip, along with a prescription from your doctor.
