Why some travelers couldn't avoid bringing too much and too many heavy things is beyond me? Always remember- the happiest traveler is the one who can fit their bag/pack under the seat of a bus or take it as hand luggage on a flight. Here's a list of things to bring when going some place for a short period of time.

Always buy something in small bottles or tubes. Never ever bring something in sachets. It's more practical this way, whatever is left you may bring it again on your next adventure. Plus less mess.
