Preparation for the trip
Only take the bare essentials. - Most countries have anything you want at cheaper prices.
Important items include: your personal identification, passports, bank cards, medicine and
good shoes. The rest you can get anywhere - or do without. If you overpack you'll be
dumping once you get to your destination - and counting the wasted money you spent
on expensive mosquito nets!
