What to Pack

• Pack as light as possible. 
• Travel with a light backpack.
• Pack just a few clothes with only a couple complimentary, solid colors — no patterns. 
• Pack only what you can carry on to the flight.
• Put everything you want to bring in a pile and slowly strip away things that aren’t necessary.
• Leave the laptop behind, as well as blackberry and any other tech gadget.
• Bring along a small, foldable umbrella to protect against the UV rays of sunlight and possible rain.
• Most toiletries can be found easily in your destination country.
• If it’s something you think you can buy there more cheaply than at home, then don’t bring it .
• Bring one book, and when you’re done, find a book-exchange and trade it for a new one.
• In Asia, sarongs are a traveler’s best friend! A sarong works as a towel, a skirt, a makeshift bag, a scarf, a sheet. 
• Get one of those totes or bags that fold up into a small package to slip into your backpack. 
• Bring old clothes and undergarments and dispose of them each day leaving more room for momentos to bring home if you choose. 
• Take baby wipes.
• Don’t travel with anything in your pockets except your passport and wallet. 
• Photocopies of sections of guidebooks so at the end of a leg of trip the copy goes in the trash.
• Take a photocopy of all your credit cards, passport and any other valuable document you have. 
• Pack only high-tech fabrics, the kind that dry quickly so that you can do a wash in the sink. 
• Tilley makes underwear you can wash in the evening, and it will be dry by morning.
• Tip for quick drying: roll a towel over wet fabric,and squeeze tightly.
• Bring a small amount of foreign currency to cover incidental expenses upon arrival, then change the rest in your destination country.

On Planning and Doing

• Don’t overplan your trip.
• Arrive earlier than you think is necessary — for domestic travel, try to arrive at least 2 hours before flight time.
• Take time for naps.
• Smile a lot and talk to the locals.
• Eat, eat, eat and savour the flavors.
• Don’t get caught up with sights. 
• Wander around at night and stay open to the crazier elements of the culture.
• Get lots of massages.
• Prepare for security check in.
• Split your cash and financial assets up. 
• Don’t bring all your cash/credit cards etc..
• Keep a card on you featuring your embassy’s #, some local friends’ numbers.
• Get up early. 
• You shouldn’t try and see everything in a given place. 
• Try to stay away from big tourist spots.
