Copy of Travel Documents - Backpacking

Please carry a photocopy of your most important travel documents together with you. This should include the detail of :
1. Your passport
2. Credit cards
3. Travel Insurance

Make sure that this documents are kept neatly and tricky-many types of document holders in market can do this

On the other hand, a homemade remedy is to seal the documents in a kitchen zip lock bag. Flatten and roll this package up and pop it into a diploma scroll holder.

This method prevents the document from being crumpled and easy to store

Clothes - Backpacking Tips

When deciding kind of clothes to bring for a travel, do not forget to consider micro-fibre.

Reasons:
1. Strong
2. Durable
3. Dry very quickly!
4. Light and comfortable

What makes micro-fibre particularly outstanding is that it remains virtually wrinkle-free despite everything.

And also a light jacket which can double up as a raincoat. Look out for a jackets with polyurethane coating which means waterproof. Consider also a draw-string pants and trousers that can be converted into shorts when needed.

Last but not least : The Half Rule - Take everything that you plan to bring with you and lay them out on your bed. Now pack just half of the items - just like Mr Bean did.
