About Local Traveler
Local Traveler? How can travel be local, you might ask. Well, I believe no matter where one travels -- 10 miles from home or half a world away -- it should be done locally. Local Travel is immersing oneself in the local culture, learning new customs, eating unfamiliar food and experiencing the place for what it is.
I have a passion for travel and for learning things about new locales. And as a resident of Memphis, birthplace of rock 'n' roll, home of the blues (and the world's best barbecue) and a major U.S. travel destination, I will from time to time hope to enlighten you on some of the Bluff City's many treasures. I invite you to share in my Local Travel adventures.

Hmm...interesting. I don't see myself wearing a fisherman jacket though. I think I will still carry a small bag with essentials (like Chapstick!) and valuables. I can say I've gotten extremely good at paring down and traveling very light!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, as a suggestion for women who don't want to wear a fisherman jacket, there are several small bags on the market that do virtually the same thing a fisherman jacket does with pockets and cubby holes but in a more feminine way.
I think most travelers could challenge themselves a little bit more when deciding what are "essentials" in carry-on baggage. I see so many overloaded travelers and I always think "Come on. You can't possibly consider all of those items essential!"
