I'm not sure why this turned into such a huge travel tip. Not just here... but in general. In the grand scheme of things, your underwear take up almost zero room. It's a fairly big inconvenience having to wash and dry your undies constantly. Particularly the dry part. If you're traveling a great distance over several days or somewhere very damp (i.e. Ireland), it's almost impossible. I took about five pair with me and ended up stocking up half way through my trip. For guys it might be different since their undies tend to be more bulky, but they also tend to rewear more than girls do. <br><br>Anyhow, sorry for the sort of rant, it's just one travel tip that I don't understand and I see everywhere.<br><br>Definitely agree with Havaianas. I got turned on to them by some Aussie friends and they're great. I wore flip flops almost my entire four month trip.

Anyhow, sorry for the sort of rant, it's just one travel tip that I don't understand and I see everywhere.

Definitely agree with Havaianas. I got turned on to them by some Aussie friends and they're great. I wore flip flops almost my entire four month trip. Probably not great for my arches, and I ended up with disgusting feet at the end of it… but way more comfortable than runners.

Also agree with the book comment. I picked up some really interesting books on my travels, just by swapping.

And a random thing I found really convenient… a couple of light weight mesh bags. They were perfect for putting socks and undies in. Kept them all together.

I use a 50L pack that is generally 1/2 full of supply type stuff (flashlight, contact solution, etc), and 1/2 full of clothes. Where do you usually travel? I'd think if you are off the beaten path more, you'd run into trouble buying shoes or pants on the road, and you'd want more than flip-flops to wear out. If you are in less rural areas you might not want to get stuck with only trekking clothes to wear to dinner or other events. Hey!

Nathan takes a 40L pack, which i think is a bit small (and is trying to get to to do the same :p) but he makes it work - so i dunno...
