oh damn … no it probably wouldn’t hang being tossed around in a washing machine. That said, you’d probably notice the bag before throwing it in the machine. :)

GREAT IDEAS! I once washed my passport by accident (the horror!), thinking about getting an aloksak to protect it. Do you think the seal on a aloksak would protect against inadvertent washing machine incidents?

Yeah, but interestingly enough, I don’t use the international wireless very often. I usually just connect through USB and save the $2. :) That said, when I was in India and having trouble with internet I used the Kindle browser to check e-mail. :)

Well that international wireless feature on the Kindle just puts it over the edge for these sorts of trips, huh? Also, love that you take the guitar with you–you put in the effort, so you ought to!

See you around,

Hey Haidn!

Thanks for finding me and for your nice comments. :)

Hey Karol,

Terrific breakdown of your backpack essentials, thanks for sharing! I’m in the process now of whittling down my possessions so I can travel lightly when the time comes (as well as just to feel lighter and freer), and I’m definitely bookmarking this post for later reference.

Also, this is my first time to the site, but you’ve got a great voice, and are talking about all the things I’m all about, so you’ll definitely see me around. :-)

Best,
Haidn

Hi Sofia,

Thank you! I did a good job of only eating them when absolutely necessary…which was almost never. By the time I landed back in the States 100 days later I still had 1 left. For the past 5 months I packed 4 or 5 Clifbars because they’re not melty. Still have 1 left. :)

Cheers,
Karol

Great detailed list there! How has it gone with your yummy rawfood bars? I could never stand against the temptation of eating them when I know they’re in my backpack just waiting for me :P
