Ten things that I have learnt from travelling

The ten things that I have learnt from travelling as far as making the journey safe, hassle free and rewarding are:
1. Always have a supply of toilet paper on you at all times.
2. Always travel with a torch that fits in your mouth so your hands are free.
3.Always have a few $US dollars available in various denominations.
5. In countries where security and Armies are present carry a packet of cigarettes with you to give away.
6. If you are carrying a money or passport pouch on you, always wear it under your clothing under one of your armpits.
7. Always travel with a frisbee. They make great plates and cutting boards and is the best way to break the ice with strangers. Masai Warriors are mean frisbee throwers!
8. Always carry a sewing needle and make sure you have some dacron thread. It will hold anything together.
9. Learn pig latin or arpy darpy or similar for those countries where you are hassled by Touts and tell them you are from Kiribati or some other small South Pacific Island and you don't speak English. Works a treat.
10. Always have a sense of humour where ever you go and don't take yourself too seriously. It is the Australian way and makes us the best travellers in the world
