1. Always pack a towel as it is useful for drying off at beaches, picnics, or showers, and hostels may not provide them. 2. Buy a small backpack around 35-40 liters to force packing light and avoid overpacking. 3. Pack lightly by taking half the clothes you think you'll need, wearing items multiple times, making an essentials list and cutting it in half.

1. MUST-KNOW TRAVEL TIPS
1. Always pack a towel
It is the key to successfulgalactic hitchhiking and plain common sense. You never know when
you will need it, whether it is at the beach, on a picnic, or just to dry off. While many hostels
offer towels, you never know and carrying a small towel will not add that much weight to your
bag.
2. Buy a small backpack/suitcase
By purchasing a small backpack(I like something around 35/40 liters), you will be forced to
pack light and avoid carrying too much stuff. Humans have a natural tendency to want to fill
spaceso if you pack light but have lots of extra room in your bag, you will end up going "well, I
guess I can take more" and then regret it.

3. Pack light
It's OK to wear the same t-shirt a few days in a row. Take half the clothes you think you will
need...you will not need as much as you think. Write down a list of essentials, cut it in half, and
then only pack that! Plus, since you bought a small backpack like I said, you will not have much
room for extra stuff anyways!
4. But take extra socks
You will lose a bunch to laundry gremlins, wear, and tear, and hiking so packing extra will
come in handy. I only take a few more than I need. Nothing beats a fresh pair of socks!

5. Take an extra bank card and credit card with you
Disasters happen. It is always good to have a backup in case you get robbed or lose a card. You
do not want to be stuck somewhere new without access to your funds. I once had a card
duplicated and a freeze put on it. I could not use it for the rest of my trip. I was very happy I had
an extra and not like my friend, who did not and was forced to borrow money from me all the
time!
6. Make sure to use no-fee bank cards
Do not give banks your hard-earned money. Keep that for yourself and spend it on your travels.
Get a credit card and debit card that does not charge a foreign transaction fee or an ATM fee.
Over the course of a long trip, the few dollars they take every time will really add up!
