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.

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.

@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 ?

@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.

@alpakaline "nearly every toiletry in liquid form...."

[alpakaline]

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...

Could someone please help me?

Thanks in anticipation!

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.
