“Take a very small travel bag, a guidebook, a pair of sandals, standard hygiene items and relevant medicines, disposable earplugs, a few changes of simple clothes, one relatively nice outfit, a flashlight, sunglasses, your smartphone, a daypack and sturdy walking shoes. Anything else can be purchased along the way.” Rolf Potts, Vagabonding, p. 209
