I can’t tell if these tips are a joke, or not. You said pack in threes, if that is all you are packing, the bag should be light as a feather. You can live for a month in 3 outfits? Must not be a diverse climate. I stay in hostels in Central/South America. I wouldn’t wash my feet on the floor of the showers. I air-out dirty clothes and bring deodorant. I wouldn’t advise putting money in an envelope. People see money in an envelope, not how much. Envelope makes it seem important. You don’t know what other people are willing to do for a small sum of money. The local shopping bag is something that I practice myself. Here’s a real tip for answering the door. Don’t open it for anybody. Get a visual or verbal confirmation prior to opening the door, even if you are expecting a visitor.

I always pack a one inch wide roll of duct tape. We have repaired sandals, luggage and purse handles.

BUNK!!!!!!!! We have traveled all over the world since 2004. People love America and Americans. You were right in hesitating to ask this pathetic question. 46% of voters did NOT vote for this guy, and many who did have enormous regrets now that they see what he is all about. He is a socialist, has no idea what he is doing, has given rights to terrorists and taken them away from the unborn child, has appointed many tax evaders to his cabinet!!! and is a smooth talker. Can’t wait until it’s over.
