Keeps things from getting out of hand.

While we have used quite a few of them in our travels, the “heavy high” tip was new for us and will definitely be put into practice.

We are firm believers in leaving things behind along the way. It is indeed amazing how much stuff we can accumulate while traveling; and many things that we thought were “indispensable” when we first packed prove to be “extra” things that we can definitely live without. We leave those items behind in our hostels, with notes to let the staff know that we have left the things behind intentionally (and that anyone can have the items if desired).

We are thoroughly enjoying your travel stories, and we eagerly await more about your adventures with Z!
