What if you change your backpack to Samsonite?

---

I enjoy the freedom and excitement of being a backpacker wandering around the east and the west, experience what’s great about the natural wonders and cultural fantasy.  But now I’m no longer 20er, it's a bit hard for me to carry a backpack weight at 1kg walking from a bus station to the train station. I have changed to use Samsonite instead of backpack. I would prefer to stay in decent hotel without worrying about there is no hot water, no flush in toilet or sleep with the blanket flea. Alright, I’m not a cool easy traveler.  My packing list is including more than just the essential items of passport, money belt, clothing, shoes, toiletries, medicine and camera. What else more stuffs can be carried to travel?  

1. Pillow

My friend must bring his own pillow to travel with him. He claimed he couldn’t sleep well without his own pillow.  I said to him, “Are you serious? You are not staying at this hotel forever!”  But he insisted getting a good night's sleep is worth the inconvenience it's going to cause him to add a pillow to his luggage.  But sometimes, even his favorite pillow can’t ensure he can get a good night’s sleep either.

2. Beauty and Skin Care Stuffs

Think about starting the journey from the vibrant city of Las Vegas, and fly east to India, Thailand and Myanmar from where to explore their ethical religious practice and wildlife sanctuaries. Then continue the itinerary towards South America of Brazil and Buenos Aires.  There are so many picturesque scenery backdrop that selfie can be done all the way through the journey and share with the peers via facebook, instagam or pinterest. But hey, the burning sunshine and the dry weather will dehydrate my skin?! I have to look great throughout the journey. Don't forget to bring the cosmetic bag, facial treatment and moisturizing cream. Those essential stuffs for woman may mean nearly full load of luggage.

3.  Portable Coffee Maker

What can a good breakfast and a cup of good coffee can do for you? It can brighten your day. My friend has got a habit of bringing a portable coffee maker and a bag of his favorite coffee in every time of his travel. I can't understand what's the big deal for not to drink his coffee for just a few days during his trip.  He insists he can't settle to drink "black water" and he would prefer to bring his private equipment and coffee in order to ensure he always can get his cup of coffee with his familiar taste.

Anyway, whether you're an easy traveler or not, packing is a hard bundle headache issue which is unavoidable to tackle with. But if you find yourself start to pack the stuffs faster and faster and more skillful like a professional, you could realize you get the symptom of being a travel addict.  Let's see how to pack like a pro.
