I love reading lists with titles like “27 Things You Must Have for Your Next Vacation” because almost always, the list was created blatantly to help the blogger earn affiliate marketing money (money they earn when you buy something they recommend).

Please do not take any of those things. There are better (cheaper!) ways to deal with those…
