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 to bring with you, you should check the weather conditions so that you have the right equipment for a safe journey. The important items include the following:

1. A very good route guide (GPS)
2. Powerbank, so you never run out of battery
3. Headphones, so you don't disturb the rest of the group
4. Phone charger, so you don't drain the powerbank's battery
5. First aid kit, to be covered no matter what happens

Bag

The choice of bag depends on your destination and overall style. It can be either a women's backpack or a backpack (men's/women's). However, I recommend it to be spacious so that you can carry everything you need with you, which we will see in detail below:

1. Umbrella, obviously 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 a thermos with tea, coffee, etc.

Necessaire

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

1. Deodorant, to feel constantly fresh
2. Antiseptics, to actually be clean and remove germs
3. Lip balm, for lip hydration
4. Hand cream, for hand hydration
5. 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!
