 | Travel light...really light. You really need only 3 changes of
clothes, a swimsuit, and a light jacket. |
 | You should have two packs: One for your clothes and stuff
you use at the hostel and another to carry around with you for stuff you use
all the time. |
 | Carry only basic medicine. You can find a pharmacy almost anywhere
in the world to get special stuff when you need it. |
 | I enjoyed having an MP3 player. Sometimes you can put on the
earphones and escape the sound of a crying child on a crowded bus. |
 | Even if you're a computer addict, internet cafes are everywhere (well..they're
kind of hard to find in the EU). Carry your favorite programs on CD.
Use a program like Password Safe to encrypt your passwords. |
 | I still stand by my recommendation to power your goodies with AA
batteries. |
 | Don't forget your towel. |
 | Don't panic. |
