Your documents and ids are the most important and should be kept as early as possible as you will need these documents almost everywhere while reaching your stay, at airports which you can’t afford to miss.
Keep all your id, document , hotel booking in the physical form and the digital form which you can use as per your requirements.
Carry separate document pouches for the important papers which are easily accessible whenever required .
Excess cash, debit cards and credit card holders
You should carry some extra cash which should be placed in different places in your bag as many places don’t accept cards which can create a huge problem if you are not carrying excess cash .
Place your cards safely in the separate holder where all your cards are placed well organised.

Packing cubes organizers proved to be very helpful during your packing essentials which you can separately pack your small items well organised for eg in one cube you can place your socks , in another your undergarment and in the big cube organisers you can place your used clothes .
