]]>An eye mask and earplugs are a MUST. Do not board the bus without these trusty companions. Shut out the light, block out that baby crying, and catch up on some much-needed shuteye after weeks of hostel hopping!
If there’s a possibility for an upgrade, take it. Some bus companies allow you to pay extra for more luxury services. When traveling, it can be fun to try and do everything on the smallest budget possible. But paying a little extra for reclining seats, more legroom, blankets, and refreshments never feels like a bad idea once you’re 16 hours into a 24-hour journey!
Choose your snacks carefully. Chips and candy might seem tempting but will be regretted later when you don’t have immediate access to teeth-brushing facilities. Grab some sandwiches, fruit, and plenty of water to keep those hunger pangs at bay.
Make the most of service stops. Sometimes, leaving the bus at 3am to go to a service station in the middle of nowhere feels very unappealing. But always take the opportunity to do some stretches and go to the toilet before heading back to your seat.

]]>A pillow is your best ally for making sure you stay physically comfortable while riding on a bus. Whether you need support for your lumbar region or a place to rest your head as you try to get some shut-eye, pillows are a key ally in the fight for comfort while doing some bus travel.
Traveling on a bus can be a disorienting experience for your stomach, as nausea is a common problem thanks to your inability to see the horizon and the bumpiness and curviness of the roads. Take medication like Dramamine or natural supplements like peppermint to feel better.
Unfortunately, buses can be a noisy place especially if you have chatty people onboard or if your bus is old and its engines make a racket. Take some headphones with you, which will allow you to listen to calming music or watch a film in peace.

]]>Try separating your belongings to make it easier to get what you need during the trip. Pack a small bag with a book, a bottle of water, chewing gum, a phone charger, and anything you may need. This will allow you to stow your big bag in the luggage store or in the overhead shelf without the trouble of diving into it while the vehicle is in motion.
In your little bus bag, make sure to have a shawl or scarf, or even a little towel. This will allow you to stay comfortable in case the air conditioning is too intense. If you’re planning to sleep en route, you may want to bring a large beanie, it will keep your head warm and you could pull it over your eyes.
Don’t just bring one kind of tissues. You will need napkins for your bus snacks, sterile wipes to use the bathroom, and gentle facial tissues in case the air conditioning gets to you.
