My mother tongue isn't English and I have a hard time understanding the word at 1:22 ... real challenge for frequent flyers, but nearly every ???? liquid form can be bought as a solid...
@alpakaline He just meant that you can buy solid or powdered soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. You don't have to buy them as liquids or pastes. Look for the solid equivalents. I'm a big advocate of traveling light, and I've been traveling light for business and leisure for the past 15 years, so feel free to ping me for advice.
Thank you for this excellent video. As a hotel owner in an international city, I find this information of great help. It good to travel light, as it seems to be a relief to be free and not weighed down when enjoying the trip or tour.
This guy is slick, but if you want to see a real packer see: go erin pack. This gal has got it down. The presentation is a little rough, but you can tell she really packs from experience. I learned something. I intend to surprise my husband on our next International trip!
Ok, Ok, now you need to do another video on how to pack like a backpacker. I volunteer! I can travel for a year or a month using the same size backpack.
The South Island of New Zealand is a great place to start if you want an introduction to that kind of backpacking. Tourism is a driving force of business in NZ, so there is a great infrastructure. Also, there are no snakes and nothing poisonous on the island, so tramping is pretty care-free. As for websites, I'm not one to study up too much, I just sort of jump into things. I also recommend Colima, Mexico, Kings Canyon in central Australia, canyoning in Interloken, Switzerland...
@rrrconserve thanks for the tips. i plan on doing home stay farm stay international & international in NZ australia the states everywhere, i am so excited, the research is really frustrating because of all the hearsay this and that
I don't know if your budget affords it, but if you Google "Bhutan Majestic Travel" that company can book extended hikes through the country of Bhutan in the Himalayas. They take care of everything. While the price may seem very steep, there are no hidden fees and you absolutely get what you pay for.
I'm a backpacker who frequents third-world destinations. While bringing an e-book adds value to your bag, it can reduce the weight a great deal. The Amazon Kindle 2 has a battery life of up to 2 weeks and can store hundreds of books including the Lonely Planet library!
exactly. If you are staying in budget hotels , hostels or with hosts that you pay for a room it is not wise to leave gadgets in your room and not practicle to lug so much around either. A cheap PDA maybe that you can carry on you an afford to loose as well
@ashmantoronto It's fine to bring these gadgets. Less developed countries also have electricity, esp in touristy parts of the country(but electricity is iffy in the countrysides). Just bring the right adaptors and electricity converters . I bring them all the time to countries like Vietnam and Cambodia. As usual, use them discreetly, and don't flaunt them in case you attract thieves, but the same applies even if you are in New York or Paris, right ?
When traveling in hot (and poor) countries, buy cheap t-shirts on the go, wear them a few days until they're starting to smell and then leave them in the hotel as you move on.
dont even pack,get on any plane and go there,go to a hostel and stay there until you feel like going somewhere else.Never go anywhere on bussiness,go everywhere and do evrything for fun,or dont do anything at all.
Thanks for the great video, it really helped.

This is a packing trip guide for business people.
I mean, e-books?! If I'm going to a less developed country, is it really advisable to bring gadgets as such?
If you're a backpacker I wouldn't take his advices.

Just get any zip lock bags. Squeeze the air out and seal it. Supermarket plastic bags work too.
Best part is that you can re-use it and find it almost everywhere. Just remember to recycle it.
