This is what I consider essential for any traveler / backpacker. These are the elements that I used in my previous trips and have served me well.
Backpack
The first obvious thing for any traveler to decide is whether to use a backpack or suitcase. During my first solo travel experience in South Asia, Korea and Japan, I traveled with a backpack. For children under 50 who bought a 55 liter back Eurohike with rain cover, which was very useful during the monsoon season! The package has been opened, and actually has little to offer in the form of certificates. So I bought a special case of transit put my backpack backpack bag made against the theft, but also ensures that the conveyors Airport. I had heard that the conveyors in airports have occasionally erupted clips back so badly closed and some airlines even want to have backpacks on their airplanes because they were a threat to security. I actually lost the back of trial during my travels, and I had to resort to wrap my backpack in black garbage bags and tape to avoid capture clips airports conveyors. The backpack was comfortable with a very good cushioning. However, I realized that my trip was in the package was a bit too big. I had read in many different sites that the smallest and lightest in its packaging, your trip will be more comfortable. This is so true. It is not just about how to enable is for you to wear together, but also practical reasons like traveling on trains and subways filled with a giant closet in his back. The backpack was incredibly annoying all the busy subway, and I do not know if and how bad that was bumping into people - but I'm sure I really was! However, it was great to have free hands when I had to pay the bills and carry bags and water bottles.
Suitcase
On my second trip to Japan, I decided to leave the pack and travel with a medium-sized suitcase. I was traveling for 3 weeks and had planned to move around the country a bit. I was worried about the condition of the wheels of the case by the end of the trip, but overall I preferred the comfort of a good case. The case shows the use of his arms, but to relieve the back. I have found again and again that my backpack was getting too heavy and bulky for long journeys; a suitcase, meanwhile, makes walking a pleasure. Trying to find a hotel in humidity and crowded Bangkok with its giant backpack is not a pleasant experience. Although climbing stairs is a pain with a suitcase, but with a backpack is a breeze. This may be important to you because it is better to travel around a Japanese city (and many other cities in Asia) through the subway system, and sometimes grand staircase leading to the platforms. The final nail is a case that makes you look more professional and professional; a backpack makes you easily identifiable as a traveler or tourist, and makes it stand out more. If I walked into a good hotel with my backpack, do not give the same service as if I was traveling with a suitcase. I think backpackers have a bad reputation in some countries like backpackers tend to be younger are more likely to rude behavior reason to stop some steam after finishing university.
Backpack
You do not want to take your suitcase or backpack with you on your walks or day trips, so you need a good backpack practice. In fact, I took a shoulder bag, as it seemed smarter than a small backpack. But beware, a shoulder bag can give you some neck pain and shoulder if the irritant package on memories of large bottles or water. In this case, a good back mini bag is better because it transfers the weight evenly over your back and shoulders.
Travel Insurance
I always take out travel insurance that you never know what can happen during your trip. Prevention is always better than cure. Medical help abroad can cost thousands if you do not have the right insurance, so always read the insurance policy. When I look at a safe return to forever comparison sites such as moneysupermarket.com. This way you can compare the different companies that offer insurance and their policies.
Skype
Skype is a free service that lets you call anyone in the world (which also has a Skype account) for free. The service is free when the service Skype to Skype is used, and the prices are competitive if you want to call mobile or fixed. You can use Skype on your iPod Touch, a real phone or Skype on your laptop. If you take a laptop abroad, you can even use your webcam for video calls, but if you do not take a laptop, I found that many internet cafes in Asia have Skype installed on their computers. Skype also lets you send instant messages, play games and even transfer files. However, Skype is a great device for use when traveling.
First Aid Box
I like to take a small first aid kit when traveling. The boxes are very good practical sizes with everything you need for your trip. Items may include: bandages, antiseptic cream, insect repellent, and various pills for common diseases books.
Clothing
I will not speak of clothing as possible, because I think it's a personal decision and depends on the needs of different people. However, I must say that you should always travel light, and think about whether you really need a garment. Sometimes I fell into the trap of packing clothes too "just in case". During a trip to Asia, you can always look for cheap clothes, so no need to overpack. The minimum that I would take the trip of a month is: 3-4 t, two shirts, pants, shorts, two bath, two pairs of socks, trainers / sneakers (I bought some that seem formal but comfortable coaches) .
Travel Clothesline
I take a small washing line in my travels in case there are not enough places for drying clothes. If you're packing light, you can not wash clothes more often, and sometimes you need a washing line for additional space.
Travel receiver plug
I used this occasion stayed in hostels. At budget accommodation will not have a cap of the sink, making it difficult to shave. Therefore, the trip taking is recommended if you plan to stay in budget accommodation. Moreover, even some premium hotels have faulty connectors in their bathrooms, so it is usually a good article to do.
Toiletries
As a dandy walker I have a wide range of toiletries. My toiletry bag consists of: razors, moisturizer, sunscreen, nail clippers, tweezers, aftershave (I tend to buy the free service at the airport), lip balm, deodorant and more !
Rain Mac
If you are traveling anywhere that has a monsoon rain so mac is an excellent idea. Monsoon is great, and can not take you by surprise and leave you soaked. A little rain mac crumpled in a very small and can easily carry in your backpack.
Swiss Army Knife
Sometimes take her in my travels, as it has several useful features: a bottle opener, scissors, toothpick, tweezers, screwdriver and many knives in shape and different size.
Travel Towels
I recommend taking a big trip towel. These can be folded in an incredibly small and take up very little space in your luggage. They also dry faster than conventional towels.
Camera
I really do not know much about cameras but I know you will definitely need a trip. This is a recording means of experiments that are not possible in any other way. I just bought a camera of 8 megapixels in Bangkok - which has served me well.
Batteries
You will need these for your camera, so be sure to drink lots of parts of their own country, they tend to be cheaper than abroad.
Cellular
A mobile phone is now a necessary gadget in all aspects of life, and it is very important when traveling. This is a great device to keep in touch with other travelers, but also a safety device if it is lost or compromised. Do not forget to take if you start, or it will become useless after a few days.
Sim Card Backup
Just in case you lose the first Sim card can not take another Sim, which are usually free.
Speed backup / Credit Card
I like to have a backup card if maybe I've lost my motherboard. If I lost my main card, which could not cancel, and then transfer money from my main account on my backup account via internet banking.
Pens and paper
Sometimes need to write things like addresses or contacts, and a pen and paper would be useful. I always travel with a mini pen and small notebook in my backpack, so it was easy to obtain. You can still use your mobile phone or iPod Touch for that too.
Travel Adapters
travel adapters are required if you want to charge your iPod or mobile phone. Once you know where you are going, you can find out what plug the adapter. It will save you having to search around your destination country. Some caps are all terrain and cover everywhere.
ipod touch
My iPod Touch has been invaluable in my travels. Not only is it ideal for watching movies, listening to music and play games while waiting for your flight or long train journeys, also has practical applications. By downloading free applications with its WiFi capabilities you can turn your iPod Touch into a hotel or hostel researcher, currency exchange, a travel guide and more. I also bought one, headphone and microphone special set, and inexpensive to my contact, allowing me where I use Skype Wi-Fi In fact, you can find a Wi-Fi throughout Southeast Asia.: McDonalds, Starbucks, shopping malls, hotels and even airports. However, I realized that surprisingly Wi-Fi is not so easily in Korea or Japan, and tends not to be free if offered.
iPad
I do not really have one, but it just seems to be a big iPod Touch. All the comforts of the iPod Touch is a pocket friendly device that is easy to transport lost in this device. But maybe I'm missing something.
City Guides
I love reading guides and always carry in my travels. My favorite guides were always DK Eyewitness Travel Guides. I regularly use DK Eyewitness Travel Guides: Thailand, Japan and Rome to name a few. I found incredibly useful, but more importantly, I loved the emphasis on culture and historical sites. The guides are beautifully illustrated, easy to navigate, and the images and captions are beautifully presented. In addition, the historical sections are informative, well illustrated and a joy to read. We also recommend gross Guides and Lonely Planet, I also used in the past.
Money Belt
Originally bought to hide my valuables, but then just used to keep my ticket bus / train or small change to do was to hand and I had even dig bags or pockets. The belt of the money can be used as a regular hobo bag (Fanny Pack if you're American) without valuables and just left on the screen instead of the inside of your clothes. I just used as an extra handy pocket.
I hope my list of essential hiking equipment was informative and helpful. For more information on the packaging and light packaging, I recommend this site: onebag.com.
