Packing of Backpack For Travel

Travel luggage is an important criterion while traveling, for all people, men, woman or travelers. Carrying excess luggage may always give pain, so make sure you carry an appropriate travel bag according to the quantity you are going to carry. A backpack is the most expedient as it has different loading methods and designs. Before you plan to purchase a knapsack, first decide the price range and also the size. The major area of the bag should be sufficient enough to carry the toiletries, clothes, and other necessary items. It should contain a lot of zippers and pouches to carry your camera, mp3 player, books, and even water bottle. It is advisable to pack the lighter things at the bottom and the heavy things on the top. This will aid you carry your bag with ease. Pack your bag according to your travel duration, short or aboard trip. Two pairs of good quality shoes are more sufficient to wander and tour around. When it comes to outfit take a few pairs of pants, pajamas, and some extra tops to be worn if any occasion. Two or three pairs of socks are must, and see to that they keep you moisture free. Other than clothes take a water proof coat, hat, and roll on to cover your eyes. A safety travel always includes a first aid kid and security documents in the backpack. A digital camera can make your travel still more delightful. And do not carry money in your bags. Use atm machines and credit cards. Carry torches and few more extra things like garbage bags, eye glasses which may be useful in travel. Pack your things according to the restriction of the airlines and make sure you keep your luggage as small as possible. You can also prepare a checklist and arrange you things which will make travel even more relaxed. For the ninety-eight percent of the population that did not come from money, travel meant bouncing along in a buckboard, sweltering and vomiting in the smelly, overcrowded hold of a ship for months on end, or flinging yourself onto a moving boxcar and praying you did not end up under the iron wheels.

What do you think if you meet a barefoot backpacker?

I’m travelling a lot, mainly in Asia and especially in India. I’m an average guy in my 30ties, and there’s nothing unusual about the way I dress while travelling: Shorts, a colourful, short-sleeved shirt, a rustic tribal necklace, a leather bracelet and my huge backpack… Nevertheless: I’m arresting attention wherever I go, and even complete strangers ask me curious questions. The reason: My size 45 feet are always bare! Yes, I’m travelling barefoot - everywhere: I’ve covered thousands of kilometres on my bare soles, without any footwear in my backpack… “Barefoot, free and happy”, that’s my motto! I wonder: What do you think if you see a barefoot backpacker like me? My evenly tanned, strong feet are almost always dusty, with soles black as coal - but they are decorated with toe rings, a colourful hemp-anklet and tiny little bells. Imagine you meet me on the road, somewhere in India: Will you think “hey, this guy is cool”?

not just typical American, but typical European. i wanna be a Hippy. well i have travelled all over India. OK i am in my 50.s. now but never wanted to back pack hippy style. even though i have been on a back packager budget. but this year i am going to Goa with my friend, have been loads of times, her first time, she is quiet glamorous, so i got to go along with this and take a few glam cloths. after all it will be both our birthdays while we are there, and all so xmas and the new year. so i got to make the effort. lol, i think this will wear off after a week or so. when she sees no one makes that much of an effort, except if you want to go bare footed an wear bangles on your feet and toe rings, ..... not cool , first time traveller maybe?
