I spend more time on the road than I do at home. Here are a few things I know...
1) Rollers are a must.
2) NEVER check luggage.
3) As few bags as possible, only 1 if you can.
4) Do not overpack that 1 bag.
5) Take enough for 4 days only. 2 shorts (can zip into pants), 2 pants...
6) Be careful of the socks you choose. Invest in quality hiking socks.
7) Keep a copy of your credit cards or any other IDs seperate from the real ones.
8) Only carry as much cash as your willing to lose. ATMs give better rates anyway.
9) Since some places you must cary cash... split it up so you don't lose it all if robbed.
10) First aid kit. A good one and add antibiotics to it. You can by all that over seas.
11) 1 big ass lock. You never know where you will be sleeping... not all doors lock.
12) Mini flashlight. This has saved my ass many a night in island black outs.
13) 100% Deet.
14) Make sure you get your visas lined out ahead of time.
15) Good hiking boots.
16) Imodium!!! Don't forget this one... it's a must have.
17) See #16
18) Travel wet wipes for your ass. Ya never know when it's gonna hit. :-(
19) A good book. Those bus rides and 12 hour airport layovers suck ass.
20) A few pics of your friends and family. Good for conversation when talking with locals.
Enjoy your travels.
