Nothing
hard here, just pick out a lightweight swimsuit that is compact and fast
drying.
1-Fleece Jacket
A fleece is
a great multi-purpose piece of clothing. It is best to find one that can be
zipped up the front. This way you can zip it up around your neck when it gets
cold or if it gets to warm you can wear t unzipped. A fleece is good for colder
climates too as it works well as a middle layer when layering clothes. These
jackets will also work well as a seat cushion or pillow on long bus rides.
3-5-Underwear
Underwear is really up to you. Some
people wear it religiously while others hardly wear it at all. If you’re not into going “commando” you will want to bring 3 or 5 pairs. You will want to avoid
the typical whitie tighties as they will get dirty and gross real quick. Make
sure that they are quick drying because you will need to wash them often.
4-Socks
Socks are one of those things
that are cheap and easy to find on while traveling. So don’t over pack these.
Even if you only plan on wearing sandals bring at least one pair of socks in
case it gets cold or you aren’t allowed somewhere in open toed shoes. A pair of
waterproof socks can also be a good idea. The best combination of socks is two
pair of sock liners and two pairs of hiking socks. This way you can double them
up if it gets cold or just wear the liners if it’s a warm day. Make sure you
spend the extra bucks to get good socks that wick moisture and dry quickly. You
won’t regret spending the extra money.
Footwear
Shoes can
take up a lot of room and may get little use. Hiking boots are one of the
biggest things most backpacker wishes they would have left at home. They may
seem like a good idea while you’re packing but in the end they just take up too
much room. Take some time to really think about why you would need more than
one pair of shoes.
