It is well that choices falls on a rigid suitcase with casters, lock and key. The content must be limited to the essential. Best natural fibers, although some parts are not washable and iron can be helpful. Store slippers, shoes, more impermeable packed for rain. Hat, gloves, sunglasses. Photocopies documents. Protection from insects.
Always leave a little space for purchases.
Remember to add a first aid kit, a little sponge bath and an alarm. In addition an international adapter for sockets (learn more about local voltage).
A piece of Marseilles soap, preferably already used, so as to be less cumbersome, is ideal for washing clothes and at worst can be a valuable substitute for body detergents.
They must always be taken:
- Ear plugs, which become essential if the trips are made with the media during the night and if the accommodations are a little too noisy
- A roll of toilet paper for emergencies and if you decide to go camping, where often this option is not made available;
- Wet wipes to clean hands and clean at all times;
- Cotton wool;
- A boxcutter, Swiss model for cutting fruits, bread and food in general, and to open the bottles bought in supermarkets;
- Cutlery camping, to comfortably eat any food, purchased;
- A wire and pegs for hanging, as washed clothes also need to dry;
- A hat with a brim, for sun or full day private beach shade;
- A bandana, to put over eyes to sleep when there is too much light induced or to protect the throat from the wind;
- Needle and thread, to mend not only the clothing, but also, possibly, a backpack and sleeping bag;
- A battery or flashlight is necessary in places with lack street lighting or electricity in general


1. The trolley is perfect for New York and backpack for that remote camp in Crete. Not the opposite. The maximum is a bag that combines both functions as the Roller Pack Burton who with their resistant skate wheels let themselves be caught anywhere.

2. The mantra of the traveler should be: a single bag, "by hand" if you move from a plane to another. You are on holiday, underwear and socks dry quickly if you wash them in the bathroom of the hotel, ties and / or heels you do not need.

3. Leave the laptop at home. Internet cafes now are available even in the desert. Load the essential on a USB stick.

4. A bit 'of tech is allowed even on vacation, though: an mp3 with headphones and a digital camera (pocket). And do not forget a universal adapter.
