He who would travel happily must travel light.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
How many of us have had the experience of packing everything we “believe” we will need in a trip and at the end we regret for the stress of carrying a heavy package during the whoooole trip, and even worse if we will travel by plane cause this means to be crossing our fingers to know if we will be charged or not for overweight.
Today we present some simple packing tips to prevent this:
-It is very important during packing for you to ask yourself:” Do I want to take it or will I really need it?” And if you really need it: “Am I willing to carry it during the whole trip?”
-It is advisable to travel with a backpack because it allows you to keep your hands completely free.
- Sarongs are the traveler’s best friends because you can use them as towel, skirt, makeshift bag, as a scarf, as a sheet, etc. Another advantage of sarongs is that if you wash them, they dry much faster than a towel.
-Take your bath items in containers much smaller than their original containers and put in Ziploc bags to prevent spillages over your stuff. -Keep your passport and your money always close to you and where you don’t lose sight of it.
-Separate your valuables, don’t put them all together in the same place. You may separate them in different pockets. It is also recommended not to bring with you all your credit cards, leave some in the hotel safe or even in your home.
These are just some tips that we have collected, but do you have some else that you would like to share?
