Make sure your rucksack stands out from the crowd and is easy to spot. Sew on badges or attach ribbons so you can spot it in a pile of 25 other rucksacks.
Pack a sarong. It can have multiple uses on your travels: towel, sunshade, eye mask, blanket, shawl, bag, and more!
No matter how long or short your hike, pack at least one mini meal. Make sure it is easily accessible.
Pack a pillow case, eye mask, ear buds, and travel pillow. This will ensure you will be ready to sleep anywhere and anytime.
Aim for fragrance free (so you don’t attract bugs) and environmentally friendly toiletries. Use soap and shampoo bars as they take up less space.
Create your own period pack. Add in bio-degradable nappy bags, wipes, hand wash, sanitary products, and heat pads.
Pack a book, a sharpie, penknife, duct tape, tweezers, head torch with spare batteries, and a pack of cards.
