How to Travel 12 Countries with No Baggage Whatsoever (+ Cool Giveaway)

• Aug 21, 2010 from timferriss in Lifestyle
  Starting tomorrow, travel writer Rolf Potts will embark on a trip that will take him around the world without using a single piece of luggage. This post will explain how hes going to do it, and theres a kick-ass giveaway at the end
  For six weeks he will explore 12 countries on five continents, crossing the equator four times, without carrying so much as a man-purse. The few items he does bring will be tucked away in his pockets. Though hes a seasoned minimalist traveler (famous from his book Vagabonding), he usually travels with a single overhead-bin-perfect backpack, the Eagle Creek Thrive 65L. Its been his go-to bag for the last 3-4 years.
  So why attempt to travel the world with no luggage at all?
  Rolf sees his journey as a real-time experiment in traveling ultra-light, and a field-test for a more philosophical idea that what we experience in life is more important than what we bring with us.
  While circumnavigating the globe with no luggage sounds like a clear enough proposition, it can raise a few semantic issues. What, for example, counts as a bag? Rolf has set up a set of ground rules to guide his own journey, including:
  - No bags on the journey (not even a man-purse or grocery store bag, unless the latter is used en route to a meal).
  - No borrowing items from his cameraman or using his cameraman as a pack mule.
  - Borrowing or buying items along the way is permitted but excludes bags.
  Since most people dont travel with a film crew, Rolfs advice for the average no-baggage traveler is a bit broader than the rules hes set for himself. Here are 8 key tips from Rolf on how to plan and execute a no-luggage journey.
  In Rolfs words
  1) Manage the journey from your mobile phone.
  A smartphone could well be the most important tool for a baggage-less traveler. It can store your boarding passes and other important documents, make phone calls from virtually anywhere in the world (with a swappable SIM card) and even act as a miniature blogging tool.
  I recommend an iPhone with a foldable Bluetooth keyboard, which allows you to fit your mobile office inside a single jacket pocket. The iPhone can be loaded with a series of applications to replace everyday day items carried on a normal trip. The Kindle app lets you leave behind bulky books, and Genius Scan lets you use you iPhones camera as a makeshift scanner so you can quickly save receipts and email them to yourself on the fly. Wikihood utilizes the phones GPS to serve location-relevant Wikipedia articles, which is a unique and interesting alternative to a guidebook. Throw in your favorite currency converter, phrase book, and flight tracker, and youve got a single device in your pocket more powerful than its dead-weight paper counterparts.

  2) Keep your footwear simple and practical.
  With no bags, the only shoes youre going to want to bring is whatever youre wearing from day to day.
  Im traveling with a pair of Blundstone boots I bought in Australia in 2006. Ive worn these boots all over the world the past four years, from Paris to Ethiopia to the Falkland Islands, and theyve served me great. They work for hiking in remote environments, yet theyre easy to slip off and on at airport security.
  Some travelers might prefer Chaco or Teva sandals (if nothing else to save packing socks) and I wont fault them for that but my Blundstones look nice enough that they will get me into places where sandals might seem too informal. You are on your feet constantly when you travel, of course, so whichever footwear you choose to bring (be it sandals or boots or running shoes), make sure you aim for comfort, simplicity, and durability.
  (Note from Tim: I opt for darker-colored Keen Newport Bison Leather Sandals. If you use black or dark socks, since they have closed toes, you can easily get into restaurants or even pass for business casual if you tuck the tightening strings in.)
  3) Buy or borrow certain items as you go.
  An old vagabonding adage goes, Pack twice the money and half the gear.
  The same notion applies to no-luggage travel even if youre only packing a tenth of the gear. If a journey takes you to a beautiful beach region, odds are you can buy rubber flip-flop sandals there for a few dollars. If a given city is rainy, cheap umbrellas should be in plentiful supply and if you get sick, the world is full of pharmacies (many of which are better-suited to cure local ailments that whatever medicine you might have packed).
  Should you travel your way into cold weather, thrift stores are a good place to buy a warm jacket (which can be given way to a needy person or left in a hostel swap-box when you leave). You can also borrow things from other travelers along the way. You dont want to be obnoxious about this, of course, but most travelers dont mind sharing a spot of toothpaste or a couple of aspirin, and...
