Travel Conveniently : What to bring when traveling

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.

Personal- Care:

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.

Shampoo
Soap
Toothpaste
Moisturizer
Cotton Buds
Baby Powder
Wet Wipes
Hand Sanitizer
Sunblock
Lotion
Mouthwash
Razor
Deodorant

First Aid:
Don't take too many. Keep it to a minimal. Pick up only a couple of doses/treatments.

Salonpas
Cotton
Band Aids
Betadine
Biogesic
Imodium

Clothing:
There is no need to take too many clothes as they can be easily washed and dried, normally overnight.

Towel
Comfortable shirts
Shorts

Gadgets:
All things electronic these days are rapidly getting smaller yet memory size keeps increasing. So take only with you the littlest gadgets you own.

Wanderlust

When I read, I tend to pick a good adventure or mystery. When I was young, I wanted to be an archaeologist and discover clues to ancient pasts or to find new, unknown things. This is probably where my idea of backpacking to uncharted places (at least to me) came from. But things got in the way.

Blah blah blah, I got busy working. Blah blah I fell in love. Blah blah blah too broke to travel. Blah, with a little bit of whining and a dash of complaining and let me finish it off with big handful of who cares, it's all just a childhood dream anyway.

Long story short..... I'm so doing it this time- traveling that is. I'm super excited. As a matter of fact I'm trying to hold my excitement. I'm keeping it in my pants.

I'm in my 30's and a call center agent by profession. Otherwise I'm your normal, tired, neurotic, bored employee.No time or money for travel- your total cheap bastard. So this can get a little tricky and interesting. And by interesting I mean, well I don't know what I mean. We'll see.
