Extreme Travel Tips and Tricks

Two things that some people who like to enjoy their vacation is How to Go Light and Low Budget. How small suitcase size you need and how to minimize costs during the trip. This article will try to discuss it. One of the indicators to determine both of these are The length, diversity and independence level of the trip. The longer the traveling, the more climates, cultures and regions we’re trying to see, or the more independent we are trying to be in order to maximize our travel bucks, the harder it is to eliminate items like the corkscrew, multipurpose tool, and other miscellaneous gear such as mosquito nets, sleep sacks or hammocks. For your average 3-7 day adventure however, affordable “one-bag” travel is definitely doable. Here’s a breakdown :

How To Set The Luggage :

1. Consider Minimalism. 
Some things to consider? Pressed powder as a liquid foundation alternative, stretching liquid conditioner to the max, solid shampoo and conditioning bars, and alternative feminine products. 
2. Limit the Footwear. 
If you’re going to a specific region and planning on mainly a sightseeing mission, one pair of sensible adventure shoes can get the job done. A good pick? Keen sandals  for both men and women. I personally like the Newport design which is more of a full sandal available for both men and women. They are available in either washable leather or various colors of nylon webbing. 
3. Follow the Container Principle.  
Having small and like items in separate containers or organizer bags keeps you from feeling like you are reaching into a chaotic bag of doom every time you need to find a particular item. In addition to being a huge fan of the personal organizers for toiletries from L.L. Bean, I also like Ziplocks,  Space Bags, and packing cubes. 
4. Go as Thin as Possible on Layers.
This enables you to have more wardrobe options, be cool or warm as needed, and not take up too much space in your bag like a bulky sweater might. Besides, if you really want one of those, you can buy a cool one made from a local artisan on the trip. Great souvenir and you’ll be helping out the local economy.  We picked up a couple in Peru and shipped them home during the trip once we switched climates.
5. Wear as Much as Possible on Travel Day. 
Particularly if you want less to lug. Think leggings under travel pants, tank top or swim suit under a dress, T-shirt under longer sleeved shirt, etc. Another great idea if you are open to tossing your fashion vanity to the wind is fishing vests. Even on a sightseeing trip, the whole family can wear them (including kids). Bonus? They are loaded with extra pockets large enough to hold any number of essential travel items.  Using this strategy, you should have no problem getting onto the plane with one bag, or at least your allotted carry on and personal bag / purse / day pack. Definitely a hot tip to maximize your allowed amount of non-checked baggage. Think about it.

I hope some of this tips will help you to enjoy your vacation... ENJOY IT :D
