Day Pack A day pack is something you will use almost every day of you trip. Inside it you will keep (some of) your money, water, food and possible toiletries and everyday items you may require on specific days. This is essential simply because of its implications in your day to day travel. It won't break your back and it should be easy to carry around when compared to your suitcase or large backpack. Use it wisely, though. You don't want to carry your passport around with you everywhere and it is usually best to not have a backpack that makes you look like a tourist. A satchel bag can come in very handy this way.
Thin rain and wind coat (depending on destination) This essential is more for tropical travel. When travelling around cold places such as Greenland or the Antarctic it's obvious you need a jacket so you won't need a wind coat. When travelling to a tropical locale with warm sun and beautiful beaches some people choose not to take a rain jacket with them without realising how necessary it can be. A thin rain and wind jacket can keep you warm and dry in tropical storms and it won't take up too much room in your pack. Note, though, that you should be able to fit it in your day pack also.
Running shoes If you are planning on going hiking while travelling but you know you'll only be hiking once or twice in a period of three months it just makes sense to not pack running shoes AND hiking boots. When you leave take a good pair of running shoes with
good ankle support and you should be fine while hiking.
Lighter It goes without saying that you will keep this in you check-in baggage. People who don't smoke often don't realise how handy a lighter can be while travelling. They tend to forget the following: some hostels don't have a stove that ignites without a match or a lighter, if you get caught in the wilderness you may need a lighter to see where you are going and also
to..well..light a fire also you can pick up a lovely woman who asks you for a light. All you have to do is be prepared.
Pen and notebook All the devices in the world for note taking will eventually run our of battery. A pen and paper will not. When you run out of ink just buy a new pen. The best part of taking a notepad and pen with you is it allows for drawing easily and also it won't take up much room in your day pack or pocket. A friend of mine from the states travelled around Brazil for a month using her moleskin as her purse fooling all pick- pockets around. A very clever little trick when you consider that not many diaries tend to get stolen on purpose.
Seal-able pockets Really the best type of pants for travel are pants with seal-able pockets and remove- able legs so you can have shorts AND pants AND safe pockets. With Seal-able pockets you will finally be able to stop worrying about losing your passport on the plane or bus and you will be able to carry more bits and pieces around on your legs
keeping things slightly more organised.
