I created this travel blog to share information with other like-minded travelers who may not be as "on-the-go" or very extroverted like other travelers and enjoy to experience new places at a slower pace.

You can’t beat paying only $30 in comparison with $70 per checked bag (unless you’re even more lucky and don’t have to pay at all for a carry on!). But let’s not forget the
As someone who has taken many flights with just a backpack as a personal bag, I’ve included everything that I take and use when I’m traveling light. Some of these may not be allowed everywhere, so do keep in mind what your local authority allows you to bring in a personal item or carry on.
***So ..read more
