The flights are booked let’s do this!
Packless
If you’re like me, you would(if you could) pack the hole closet in you bag and you would rader take 2 or 3 bags!
But this is a bad idea! Not only is it soooooo onhandy you’ll reget it the moment you arrive!
Do you really need 6 pairs of sneakers? NO you don’t!
After hours and hours of choosing what you’re going to bring, you finally have stript it al down. Now the real struggle of packing can begin!
How do you get all that stuff in you luggage?
First of all, DON’T fold your clothes, but roll them. This way it takes a lot less space and you can take those extra pair of shoes you really didn’t want to leave behind!
SHUT UP!
In some countries it’s unsafe to drink tapwater. Look this up before you leave! Brush you teeth with botteld water and keep you mouth shut while you take a bath or a shower.
Tap water can cause stomach illnesses such as: Nausea, vomiting, crams, diearroea . Not really what you want on your trip.
Leave that lonley planet at home!
Don’t take your guidebooks with you. It’s not only heaps of extra weight, it also takes alot of space. So make copy’s of the things you really want to do and see.
If you see featured places, avoid them of do the exact opposite! This way you will feel a real local and less of a tourist!
I would also recomment not to plan everything out in advence. Try the “go with the flow” lifestyle for a change. Most of the time the best memories come from unplanned days.
Take a pack of cards.
Maybe not the first thing you would think of, but thats what we’re here for! When you have to wait hours for the bus that has been delayed, a pack of cards is the perfect ice-breaker and everyone is up for it! I mean who doesn’t love a game of cards?
