    My motto is “Semper Paratis”

    I can get by with minimal stuff, but I never travel without my Swiss Army knife

    From repairing someone’s radiator while camping in New Zealand to fixing a broken suitcase in Japan, it has proved invaluable many times

    I stopped packing so much. Like the saying goes, “No matter where you go, there… 's a Walmart (or similar).”

    I get this, OTOH what I do on vacation is different.

    I rarely go for a swim, except when I’m on vacation. So, I don’t regularly use a bathing suit, but I want one in my suitcase if I’m going to the beach. Also, when you’re travelling, the kinds of things you eat are different, so you might have digestive issues you don’t have at home.

    The hardest things to remember are the ones that are always just there when I’m at home: toothbrush, cell phone charger, etc.
