“Do not over-pack” this is the far most important tip inmy opinion, it makes your fatigue and also makes your air travel cost high if you pack for four season.

You got blog fatigue along with travel fatigue? I’m kinda missing your nutty jokes…

That’s a good question, Student Travel Insurance. I agree that it’s easy to overdo it and get travel fatigue. Now I’m based back in NZ it’s much harder to just pop over to another country, so I plan my trips far in advance and have them to look forward to. I also appreciate that ‘coming home’ feeling more than I used to. Previously, I’d fling all my gear into a backpack without a backward glance. Must be getting old. But I intend to visit at least one new country each year if I can.

NHP/Alice, I could write particular tips but this isn’t really a travel blog – besides, a million other people out there share their tips. Happy for questions but I have no idea about the South America-dollar-Euro thing as I travel on NZ dollars. I would just advise changing currencies at official bureaus, not when random people approach you on the street!

Justine Shapiro from Globe Trekker once said that she found it strange that travellers who were on the road permantly, never seemed to get excited or appreciated where they were.
It almost became bland, and the next city was just another city.
i would be interested to see if that is the case, and is it better to have afew trips away each year, or to see it all in one go.
what do you think?

Could you write tips on particular countries you visited? Someone told me there is a tax you have to pay in South America if you exchange dollars, but that doesn’t apply to Euros. Is that true?

Nice article and good tips! I’ve never travel anywhere outside of the US before and have always wanted to do so, but I’ve been traveling quite a bit throughout the US since I started college. I’m planning to travel through all 50 states:) Will be in Arizona in a week, Alaska and part of Canada next summer, and then I will hit Southeast Asia the year after.

Please write more travel articles since you travel so much!

Don’t forget staying in hostels! Oh, and housesitting/caretaking. And house swapping. Alternative lodgings are always a great way to save money, and can be loads of fun to boot.

Chris – Happy to do more travel posts. Is there anything in particular you’d like me to cover?

Kevin – Sounds like we enjoy similar places. You’ll have a blast in SA. Don’t miss Iguacu Falls, on the borders of Argentina and Brazil.
