Mac’s been reviewing travel websites again and here are
some of the better travel tips he’s gleaned and would like
to pass on to us:

Water or sports drinks plastic bottles are often better
than the traditional water bottles – they don’t leak, are
usually lighter and at the end of the trip, you can throw
them away (into a recycling bin, if possible) and after
this, you have more room for those totally cannot afford to
miss souvenirs!

Tights (panty hose) are cheap, warm and disposable and
make great layers when travelling in cold places, when
layering is essential.

You can keep your hair looking good for longer, ideal if
you are travelling in the wilds and don’t have access to a
daily shower. All you need is a small bottle of deep
cleansing shampoo and a tiny bottle of coconut oil. After
washing your hair, rub a tiny drop of oil into your hair.
Go easy the first time to know how it looks when dry. Hair
stays soft and clean looking and will keep nasty things out
of hair such as lice.
