Vagabond Advice: Things (I did but) You Should Never Leave Without

In no particular order...

- A quick-drying towel. Mine is 50% polyester and 50% polymide. It usually dries within about an hour, a little longer of course if you're in a more humid area.

- Some sort of portable internet access. depending on the region of the world you'll be visiting and its accessibility and dangers, you will probably benefit from having a 'global capable' smart phone, miniature / netbook laptop, or blackberry-type of device. I can't tell you how much time we wasted running around trying to find internet cafes every time we needed to book our next hostel, check bus and metro schedules, or communicate with our AirBnB hosts on-the-go.

- A pillow. For-rillow. Especially if you're taking trains. 'nough said.

- Triple-threat shoes: fit for shared showers, cute enough to wear to a dive bar with a sundress, comfortable and supportive enough for light walking (bring a sturdy pair of tennis/hiking shoes for the longer stints). This is difficult, I know, so choose wisely.
