My checklist for a road trip

Concerning the documents for a road-trip:
- your passport or identity card if you stay in Europe
- your driving licence + its international equivalent
- your credit card or cash according to your preferences
- your insurance certificate
- your European Health Insurance Card
- a map of the region or country you are travelling through
- a copy of all these documents may also be useful
For the equipment needed, it depends on how much space you have, but here are a few ideas that you might find useful:
- a notepad or paper and pens
- scissors and/or a knife
- clothes pegs and a thread if you are camping in the wild (the clothesline may be a bit big for your backpack)
- a lighter
- adhesive tape
- a mirror
- a plastic bag for your waste
- shower towel
- a book
- a sleeping bag
On the high-tech side:
- your mobile phone
- a camera if your phone is not enough for you
- chargers or batteries, depending on the device
- a multi-socket outlet
- a plug adapter
- an external battery
- a lamp
What about the outfit? That will depend on your destination, but you can pick one of these:
- T-shirts
- jumpers
- a Kway
- shorts, skirts
- jogging
- a cap
- hiking boots (if you plan to wear them)
- trainers
- socks
- underwear
- sunglasses
- swimsuit
- and why not an evening dress (you never know)
And the toiletry bag:
- a toothbrush and toothpaste
- soap
- a razor
- tweezers (can be useful for spines too)
- cotton buds
- a hairbrush
- tissues
- (for my part) the essential sun cream
- after-sun care in case of forgetfulness
- toilet paper (or greener lota system as in India or the Maghreb)
For the pharmacy :
- mosquito repellent
- paracetamol
- ibuprofen
- any other medication that you consider necessary based on your experiences
- antiseptic
- bandages
- healing cream or biafine cream
