Things getting weird
One step in the airplane and my head is half way in Taiwan. That's not that easy as it maybe sound like. On the one hand I am happy, because I can make a dream come true and make new experiences. One the other hand it is hard to say goodbye to persons you love. Thats a very weird feeling.
This week...
... I bought two nice backpacks and everything for a first aid kit. To buy the right backpack is not easy. I am very happy that my uncle Daniel helped me with this decision and shared his experience concerning travelling with me. Finally we found a nice daypack, waterproof, light, foldable and large enough for everything I need for a day or two. Moreover we got a nice, 60l, also waterproof, backpack.
But how do you find the right backpack or the right suitcase?
This question is very complicate to answer right, because there is not a right or wrong. The backpack or suitcase should fit your personal creteria.
Do you want to stay in a city for a year?
Do you want to travel from city to city?
Are you planning to travel on food, by bike, rail or plane?
After answering these questions you should have an idea what to get. The next thing is trying. Go to your local retailer for outdoor activies and look what is comfortable for your back. Try the backpack on and walk a few minutes with weight. My experience is that five minutes of carrying a backpack with 15 kilo in it can change your opinion.
Always have in mind: The retailer knows more than you, but he also wants to sell. Have always in mind what you really need.
These are my tips for you if you ever should get in the situation to buy a backpack.
First aid kit
What medicine to get depends on the country you want to travel. To get the right medicine you should visit your doctor. It is also useful to get a helth certificate even if the visa application does not require that. Again this is a very individual question.
Last check
Preperation complete! Yes! It's done. Finally. Now I can focus on saying goodbye and enjoy the last days in germany. Just today I was thinking of a checklist for you: What is important to have an good preperation for a nice journey. Additional I want to give you a financial view of such a preperation. This might be a nice sum up of my last weeks.
