Travellers tips 2

Things I've found invaluable:

  • Sarong. You see this on most "what to pack" lists but they are truely useful especially when you don't trust the sheets in your $6 a night room.
  • Travel pillow. I picked this up in Cambodia. Its a real, not inflatable number thats about 30 x 20 cm. Brilliant for long, back breaking bus trips, on the beach and in the hammock.
  • Compression sack. One of those things you use to make sleeping bags smaller - I use it for my clothes reducing their volume by a third leaving more room in the pack for books!
  • Fold away backpack. This packs down really small and very useful in avoiding all the plastic bags you routinely get offered in SEA.
  • Zip lock bags and stuff sacks. Invaluable for the obsessive packer.
