Extra tip:
We usually travel on a low budget (perhaps always…) so when we have normal baggage with us we put some cereal bars and coffee shots to carry with us in our backpacks as we wander in cities and between meals for some extra power shot!
Extra tip:
You must always have printed or marked somehow the main addresses like the one of your hotel or accommodation (eg. Screenshot especially in countries where they do not speak English the photo helps a lot), see before the traveling day how to travel to and from airports and departure times. Big airports are so big that you have to calculate the hours correctly to avoid losing flights and connections.
Extra tip:
Generally speaking, keep with you anything that can be printed (eg. if you mobile gets stolen, which is not impossible… Have boarding passes in printed form, etc.).
Extra tip:
If you travel light with a backpack take advantage of yourself. Pockets, clothe cases anda Even your head can be used to carry a hat!
