Really nice hikes there! Unfortunately introduced an entrance fee since last year.

If you have a cheap waterproof case. You might faced the issue, that the plastic case made the images shitty.
Buy hand sanitizer, and clean the case with it, then wash it down with water. It will make it transparent again, and you can make nice videos under water.

Travellers, who did 2-3 or more month of travelling. Where did you look for the info for your trip?
I assume google, and not social media, or?

If you travel longer, you understand, that if you have a lot of stuff, you will pack alot during your trip. Trust me, it is not fun!
We are serious overpackers. Really! But we learned the lesson on our 6 month trip.

Bring white long-sleeved thin T-shirt.
Benefits:
- Protects against the sun.
- You see mosquitos on it.
- You can use it as a second layer for hiking.
The more multi-use you have, the leaner you can pack.
Packing lean is key, because:
- You have to carry less.
- Cheaper the plane ticket.
- Faster to pack between places and accomodations.

Bring a water purifier with you.
It is useful to
- remove taste of bottled water
- filter water if you can't buy
- reduce plastic on a long trip
We found the grayl water filter a great choice for us, although it is heavier and bulkier. Its benefits:
- removes viruses and bacterias
- it also filters the water, not only kill the bad things
- you don't need an extra container for it

#travelnuggets
Bring multiple bank cards with you.
If somehow your bank card details get stolen or something, you still will have other cards with you.
We did not have issues using a mastercard everywhere. But it does not hurt to have a visa with you as well. Maybe once an atm only accepted that, but we happened to use another one anyway.
Also in one or two online booking, there were a discount for maestro cards.

If you travel to South America, from a different continent, the odds are high that your stomach is not used to local bacterias in food, water, air, etc.
This can easily mean, that you will easily get stomach issues. Diarrhea.
A good way to cure it:
- BRAT diet
- Diarrhea medicin
- Probiotics
Tip: If you can find enterogermina, it is quite a good probiotics. Usually you can easily get it. And even hospitals suggest it.

Have emergency USD in cash with you for South America.
You never know. Maybe you get to a place where is no ATM, or the withdraw fee is huge.

What would be the usecase for Road Trippers.
#asknostr
Good afternoon!
We are making an app to help travellers plan their trip.
Short idea:
It will be an itinary planning tool, in which you can type a destination, and it will suggest you programs to do, sights to visit. After you select what you are interested in, it will make you a multi-day itinary with a detailed plan.
We have many other ideas, that would expand around this planning the bus or plane tickets between selected cities, etc.
We are travellers ourselves, and spent countless hours planning city and place visits, transportation booking, etc. We want to make a tool for ourselves and anyone else interested, that helps us plan our travel.
If you are interested in using such a tool, or would be open to shape the first version of such service, write us please. Comment, DM, zap, note, whatever it is.
We have a strong opinion how such tools would help us. But other opinions could shape this into an even better service.
#travel #travelling #backpacking #app #service
Cool, thanks. We will let you know. We are still travelling, so cant make it now. But in a month.
By the way, would you be interested helping to shape the first form of the app with your opinion? We are travelling for 6 month, so have a strong idea about it, but still would be open to hear other people`s opinion about it.
More like an on-demand live search collecting data from multiple sources like we do for ourselves. Then an algorithm to create an itinary.

Put the raincover on your backpack before travelling on a bus.
Bus trunks are usually really dirty, and your backpack will look like in a second as you got it from the rubbish. If you put on the rain cover, it will get dirty, not the backpack. But it is easier to clean than the backpack.

Use plastic foil to wrap your backpack before travelling on a plane.
- It protects the material
- You see if someone opened it

2 locks and 2 aluminium cables to securely lock your things to something is really helpful. You can use it:
- Overnight bus to secure your handbags
- Dormitory to secure your bags
- Maybe on the beach to secure your bags
- Anywhere to lock your bags
So they are really useful.
