Travel Tips No. 1: Travelling light




Many times we see people with huge and bulky luggage when they travel. This not only put physical strain on you, it will also incur excess baggage tax. I  know of traveler who needs to see physiotherapist for their aching muscle after they are back from their travelling because of the heavy luggage

I have a way to reduce the load in one small department , that is the undies and socks. When I travel, I only bring three undies and three pair of sock even for a months trip.

The first undies, you wear it on and at the end of the day you wash it at the basin or you can wash it when you shower. You can use your foot to stamp on it and with the shampoo and shower gel, the undies can be pretty clean. In the Asian society before the washing machine, they wash their clothes by stamping with their foot and smacking it on a piece of rock. This helps to clean and wash away the dirt. This applies to sock too.

After the shower you can wear the second clean undies.

Once the first undies is wash you can hang it to dry in the air con room of hotel or you can dry it under the fan. Normally it should be dry by the next morning.

So here you have it. You practically need only two undies but just in case you need the third for emergency like when the first is not dry or is torn.

The above applies to socks too.

Enjoy your travel.
