I always find buying like a $5 pair of shoes from like Kmart or Target is a very good investment when going overseas. so many times where you might need to walk through water or mud and dont want to get you proper shoes wet, but also dont want to do it barefoot encase there is something sharp underneath.

They also pack fairly flat and dont weigh much, better than risking your health or good shoes.

I do better with a starbucks insulated mug, the kind that can go upside down, but is also dishwasher safe and vacuum insulated. Morning breakfast at the hotel, tea will be a nice hot sip by lunchtime out of the purse. Or, I can fill er up in the airport terminal with a little coffee, something better than the crap on the plane.

I just can't wear crap shoes like the kind you're referring to from Target, since I need arch support.. I'll wear some Crocs, Tevas, or similar however. I'll hit some boots with extra waterproof spray if it's a rainy season kind of vacation. Really nice running insoles can make lesser quality shoes tolerable, however. You can move them shoe to shoe. They'll make new shoes that aren't broken in much yet, far more comfortable as well.

Always have some granola bars in the bag. Sometimes I'll skip a meal if the options are poor and expensive both. Saves money til the next meal, something worth waiting for.

You guys run around in crocks drinking out of these things? Why.not dress like normal people and buy water from 7 11, little shop or where ever?

I found elastic washing lines to be considerably worse than a simple piece of cord

a jacket that is wind and water proof

bring an airtight bag for your dirty clothes, beats plastic shopping bags by miles

used a passport belt to store my money
was awfull, always smelt, always digging around in it when I had to show it for a hotel etc
that being said, never got my shit stolen
get some proper locks for your bags, and by proper I mean "can't be bested with two spanners, can't be opened with a bobby pin"

Are those shoes by any chance white? follow up question are you a 'murican? is this the origin of the white shoed american trope?

I have a similar stainless steel water bottle that I take everywhere with me. Being in Phoenix, it gets so hot during the summer and dehydration sets in quickly even if you're just running errands in your car. I can't believe I don't see more people with a reusable water bottle 24/7. Of course, some places for travel you want to buy bottled water.

I always travel with pick related. It will fully charge my phone 2-3 times over (you can buy much smaller battery packs that might give you 50% of a charge). This one will fit into my pocket while connected to my phone so I can carry the phone around normally while it's charging.
