JAKARTA - Eid Al-Fitr 1443 Hijri is coming in a few days, and for some people who have not and are about to leave for homecoming, it is highly recommended to prepare important things.

Arif Reza Fahlepi, Corporate Secretary Division Head Mandiri Tunas Finance, said that in order for the homecoming trip to be comfortable and safe, there are several things that must be prepared.

Reza, as quoted from Antara, Saturday 30 April, shared tips on preparing for going home. Here's the description:

1. Pay attention to body condition

In order for homecoming to run comfortably, safely, and smoothly, travelers must ensure that their body condition is healthy and excellent. To maintain body condition, prospective travelers need to take time to get enough rest.

2. Check the condition of the vehicle

The second thing that needs to be prepared is to check the condition of the vehicle if you want to go home with a private vehicle, and make sure everything is roadworthy.

3. Understand the destination route

So as not to waste time for not going through the right route. Prospective travelers need to understand the homecoming route they want to take. Choose the right route to your hometown.

4. Check vehicle fuel

Checking the availability of vehicle fuel is also important to prevent unwanted things, such as running out of fuel while the refueling station is far from the traveling position. It is better to fill the vehicle's fuel tank when starting the journey.

5. Check e-money balance

E-money is now an important travel requirement because this electronic wallet is used as a means to pay toll fees or to shop on the go.

6. Provide snacks

Homecoming is still on the day of the month of Ramadan, allowing travelers to sometimes have to spend iftar or sahur before getting a comfortable resting place. Therefore, bringing food supplies or takjil as well as drinking water for breaking the fast is very helpful.

7. Provide medicines as needed

It's a good idea for prospective travelers to also need to provide personal medicines, and maybe a first aid kit in the car just in case.

8. Provide process equipment

Because it is still in a pandemic situation, ensuring that masks and hand sanitizers are available in the car is very important to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus and others.

9. Keep running the process

Continuing to carry out health protocols during the homecoming trip and while at home is important in order to maintain a healthy body condition and avoid the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

10. Obey traffic rules

Drive safely (safety riding) during the homecoming trip and obey traffic rules so that the homecoming trip is smooth and safe.

11. Don't forget to pray

Don't forget to pray to God Almighty so that the homecoming journey is always in His protection.
