Incurable wanderlust. A severe case of the travel bug. Forever having itchy feet. Sound familiar?

People who still don’t understand what to do while going through security. Laptop still in bag, belt and watch still on, phone in pocket. Even if you have never been on a plane before there are usually signs and pictures of what you need to do.

If you’re like I used to be, packing light seems like an oxymoron. Every time you walk by your open suitcase you throw something else in.

Keep a purse or backpack in your travel space that you use only for traveling.

Research the countries you plan on visiting and then consult your doctor to see if there are any vaccinations you need.
