When travelling on a budget there are two categories of things which come in handy: useful items and a good attitude.

Items

• toiletries
• a quick dry compact towel
• shoes (i.e. flip flops) to wear in the shower
• durable, easy wash convertible clothes
• an assortment of funds (i.e. cash, credit and debit cards and maybe some travellers’ cheques)

Attitude

• a little laissez-faire
• some patience and persistence
• open-mindedness
• the ability to let things go
• not being too attached to ideas, things etc.
