When you're about to leave your coumfy home for a couple of days/weeks/months, it's really important not to forget anything. As you're about to be all by yourself, nobody is going to be there to repair your silly mistakes.
*Hell, who am I to give those tips, I always forget half of my stuff!* Errr...Anyway.
First of all, you have to figure out what kind of trip you're setting on. If you're going on holidays in an all-inclusive club by the beach, as long as you have enough spare underwears, pants, a bikini/swimsuit, sunspray and thongs, you're good. Have fun sipping on mojitos at the beach-bar. And I am of no use.
But if you're intending to go around a lot, here's what you shouldn't forget :
-A good backpack : it's gonna be your best friend out there
-A camera : very important to be able to remember just how beautiful landscapes were. Or to share with your loved ones. Be careful here, a lot of people can't stand looking at other's holiday pictures. Keep it to yourself if they show no interest, and you will avoid loosing friends.
-A spare SD card : it would be too bad running out of memory after two days of travelling around.
-Enough battery : Same reason.
-Your passport AND a copy of it (that you will store in another place, just in case)
-An emergency number : keep it in your wallet just in case you get attacked/raped/killed/kidnapped. Just sayin'.
-Your toothbrush and toothpaste: if you have to ask directions and you stink like a poney, nobody's gonna help you out bud.
-Money and if possible, the country's currency.
-A phone : might get handy if you decided to climb up a tree and cannot get down.
-A pocket dictionnary from your language to the country's
-Good shoes : really important if you intend to walk a lot.
Alright, if you have all these things, you're already pretty good. You might add other stuff like for example :
-Spare clothes
-Bikini/swimsuit if you're walking around beaches
-Tiny gifts from your homecountry (pin's) to give the people who will help you out on your trip.
Hope it helped, I might add stuff as time goes by!

New blog- out of boredom!
Hi there!
I decided to write a new blog out of boredom. It's the kind of thing I do, whenever I'm bored, I start writing...A lot.
I'm about to leave to Shanghai, to visit some friends and to travel around in China with a good-ass camera. As a matter of fact, it's the third time that I'm leaving to China, but for once, I'm neither going to be studying nor working. And I plan on making the most out of it.
It's the second time that I'll be travelling around by myself. I'm writing down this blog to share my experience (how is it going by yourself to the end of the world?) but also to write down some tips for you peep's who plan on doing the same.
I ensure you, I will try my best to write regularly and to share everything-the good AND the bad-.
Enjoy!
