Staying in a hostel here is what you need

for those that don't know I went to the UK for the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. 
I went in via London - to get anything I may have forgotten I needed and to get my nails done at my Nail Salon in London.

so I stayed in hostels for the 2 nights I was in London 

here is what you need when staying in hostels 
PadLocks for the lockers and spare for your luggage. you need various sizes (check with your hostel) I like locks that utilise keys, as keys can be tracked with Tile mate and Apple AirTag trackers 

peg-less clothing line to hang items that cannot go into a clothes dryer for drying or to hang a curtain to assist with sleeping.  

towels (some hostels you need to buy towels some offer a hire of towels - its best to have your own) 

100% silk sleeping bag liner 

toiletries

clothes

flip-flops/thongs for the shower are a must as the showers in hostels are communal showers. 

some hostels also have laundry facilities some don't please check with your hostel as to whether they have a washing machine and dryer and what settings these have. 

Multi-country travel adaptors (Skross and Go travel)

USB C plugs for the countries you are travelling to - (Apple devices and Go Pro - USB-C to USB-C can be used)

USB A plugs for the countries you are travelling to (all other devices) I have the go travel 4 USB-A travel charger which works great for use at home as well

Power board. I currently have a non-USB enabled power board but on my next trip I will be getting the Belkin 8 outlet with USB plugs as well (iPhone, iPad, Watch, Battery pack, battery charger for my camera and AA batteries, my vlogging camera, speaker and go pro along with my travel diffuser in one of the USB ports and my speaker in the other.

This works Travel diffuser (I bought this in the UK as this is not available in Australia). Some of the This Works product range is available from Mecca
