You also need your own mobile device that can install apps from the App Store / Play Store, on which you will set up a mobile crypto wallet.

Also, bring a USB flash drive to use as a backup for your crypto wallet. It does not need to be bigger than 4GB (which is typically the smallest you can buy), as it will only need to hold a few text files.
