Excursions by car to mountainous areas with lakes and rivers = Autumn. At least that's how I have it translated in my mind, and since I usually go on many excursions this season, I have gathered everything you will need if you are also thinking of escaping, even for a little while!

Equipment

First, before deciding what you will take with you, you should check the weather conditions so that you have the right equipment with you for a safe trip. The important items include the following:

1. A very good route guide (GPS)
2. Power bank, so you never run out of battery
3. Headphones, so you don't disturb the rest of the group
4. Mobile charger, so you don't use up the power bank's battery
5. First aid kit, so you are covered no matter what happens

Bag

Choosing the bag has to do with your destination and your overall style. It can be either women's backpack or backpack (men's/women's). However, I recommend that it be spacious so you can have with you everything you need, which we will look at in detail below:

1. Umbrella, of course it is useful during the autumn months
2. Travel pillow, for a comfortable journey
3. Snacks, for cravings (yum!)
4. A change of clothes
5. Of course, a bottle of water or thermos with tea, coffee, etc.

Toiletry bag

With you, of course, you will also have more personal items that are useful, such as an ID, wallet, sunglasses, etc. Beyond the very basics, don’t forget small essential cosmetic items as well. For me, I have listed the following as important:

1. Deodorant, so you feel clean all the time
2. Antiseptics, so you are truly clean and remove germs
3. Lip balm, for lip hydration
4. Hand cream, to moisturize your hands
5. Chewing gum, for fresh breath

Finally, don't forget to be well-dressed and properly prepared to have a great time! 

I hope I helped you and that you make your own list, happy trips!
