    Introducing a new series — Travel Opposites

     

    Have you ever traveled with an opposite?

    What if you’re an early riser and you’re sharing a room with a night owl?

    Maybe you want to spend the day reading in the colonial town’s public square, while your travel companion wants to explore every museum mentioned in the guidebook.

    Or perhaps you’re short on funds, but your friend’s idea of budget travel is business class instead of first class.

    Traveling with opposites can be challenging but also rewarding. So I’m kicking off a series of posts that will look at each of these types of opposites:

    • Introvert vs extrovert
    • Night owl vs early riser
    • Do’er vs Be’er (sightseeing versus just wandering around town)
    • Luxury vs budget
    • Planner vs seat-of-the-pants
    • Shy/private vs outgoing/gregarious (this is different than introvert/extrovert)

    Are there any pairings I’ve missed? Tell me, and I’ll consider adding them to the list. And also share your tips on how to make traveling with opposites work.

    This will be fun!

  • Travel light.

    Efficient, expansive travel requires less, not more. One bag that serves multiple functions. A sarong that's also a towel, blanket or sheet. Clothing layers that pack small and carry light. A daypack with one-reach access to essentials. A pocket for my Chapstick.
  • My OCD

    can make me feel encumbered and anxious. But the lighter I travel the more liberated I feel (as long as my Chapstick and water bottle are within reach).

    "Less" requires planning. For me, honing the art of traveling light is a journey unto itself. And I STILL haven't found the perfect travel bag.
