Off the Radar’s Ten Tips for Making Adventure Travel Easier

1. Always pack a shawl or sarong and keep it handy in your pack. It’s good for covering up your legs or your head; good for sitting on; great for wrapping around your waist while you change out of a swimsuit and back into your jeans; excellent for warming up, shading yourself, or replacing a towel.
2. Scan your credit cards, passport, and vaccination certificates and keep them in your email in case you lose them while traveling.
3. Don’t bring anything you don’t mind losing.
4. Bring one bag. Only.
5. Pack a jar of Iodine tablets for water purification.
6. Carry a a simple but thorough first aid kit for internal and external problems, from heartburn to puncture wounds.
7. Don’t forget your sense of humor!
8. It’s nice to have a comprehensive travel guidebook but also the knowledge that it can only get you so far, and there is a lot more than is in the book…
9. Tuck a a small headlamp, baby wipes and ziploc bags into one of those suitcase sidepockets.
10. Always order the local foods - locals make GOOD local food, but you’ll likely be disappointed by their version of American cuisine.
