The bagWhile backpacking is all about thrifty travel, the one thing you shouldn’t stinge on is your bag. The key to choosing one that’s right for you comes down to comfort – usually, unless you’re doing heavy lifting, it shouldn’t be more than 4500 CUI (cubic inches). Also, buy yours from a reputable maker – shoddy workmanship or material will tear only too easily.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Packing essentialsEvery traveler should have these: </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Flip flops: A must-have for use in those communal showers• Pillowcases• Extra wallet: Pickpockets are in backpacker inns. Dividing your money into different wallets reduces the risk of losing everything should you become a victim• Wet wipes: A shower may not always be available• Space saver bags: Available at camping stores, these allow more to be bundled into a small space.3. The cash stashThe general rule of thumb is to have enough currency to get you through 2 or 3 days. The rest of your journey can be covered by a series of travelers cheques.4. Packing smartRoll clothes instead of folding them to avoid wrinkles. Pack zip-lock bags to seal used socks and shoes in. Medication and important documents should always be carried on you, not in checked-in luggage. When packing, stack in chronological order, with what you’ll need first at the top of your bag.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">5. Traveling walletIt goes without saying that your wallet and travel documents should always be with you at all times. Never stuff them in your backpack. And, always have copies of your travel document – a set on you and a set in your backpack.6. Keep a travel journal</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">All those memories you collect along the way can be stored with free mobile apps. On the iPhone, ‘Off Exploring’, ‘GPS Log Lite’ and ‘Daily Tracker Lite’ are available.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">7. ‘Ruin’ your stuff a little</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The newer your stuff looks, the tastier it is to a thief. Wear in your shoes and wear out your bag before your trip. Looking like a seasoned traveler will also deter thieves. On long train or bus rides, sleep on your pack.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">8. Make your presence heard</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At least one person at home should always know where you are. Keep a mobile number on you with clear instructions that it is your in-case-of-emergency-contact and always send an email from every destination you arrive at.(Always updated with your family or someone that you close every time you reach the place)9. Don’t be a good SamaritanNever offer or accept to carry anything for anyone – it’s the cardinal rule of travel, perhaps more so when backpacking. Backpacking tends to become a very communal activity with many friendships forged along the way. However, proper care must always be taken. 10. Safety in numbers</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The bigger the travel group, the better. But, if you’re travelling solo, any friends made along the way is always useful. Avoid travelling at night, even if this means you save money on one night’s accommodation.p/s : never put your swiss army on your hand luggage .</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">credit to:<a href="http://malaysiabackpacker.blogspot.com/2011/10/10-tips-for-backpackers.html">http://malaysiabackpacker.blogspot.com/2011/10/10-tips-for-backpackers.html</a> </span></div>ZurynHenney@facebookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04907177669249707317noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954389009454196208.post-85792966827936820692011-10-10T02:50:00.000-07:002011-10-10T02:50:59.398-07:00Pre: Backpacking South Korea Autumn 2011 part 2<div style="color: #d5a6bd;">LANGUAGE......OH FOREIGN LANGUAGE....:D</div><div style="color: #d5a6bd;"><br />
