Travel Tip # 106

Bring Ziploc Bags

When you’re traveling, Ziploc bags are worth their weight in gold… though, since they’re not really that heavy, I guess this statement is a little misleading.

Be sure to bring freezer bags because the plastic is heavier so they’re more durable… sandwich bags will tear too easily.

Secondly, the medium-sized ones are probably the best size to bring as it gives you the most range… they’re big enough to hold a wet pair of socks, but small enough to not take up too much room.

And their uses are almost endless!

You can use them to keep things waterproof like your passport, travel documents, your iPod, etc.

You can use them to store food & snacks, so unwanted critters of various shapes & species won’t take notice.

When you’re flying, you can use them to keep your toothpaste and cough syrup in, so “the Man” doesn’t confiscate your liquids.

But ultimately, they’ll prevent you from having to try and explain a hand lotion stain on your trousers when there’s a language barrier.
