If you travel to South America, from a different continent, the odds are high that your stomach is not used to local bacterias in food, water, air, etc.
This can easily mean, that you will easily get stomach issues. Diarrhea.
A good way to cure it:
- BRAT diet
- Diarrhea medicin
- Probiotics
Tip: If you can find enterogermina, it is quite a good probiotics. Usually you can easily get it. And even hospitals suggest it.

Have emergency USD in cash with you for South America.
You never know. Maybe you get to a place where is no ATM, or the withdraw fee is huge.

Good afternoon!
We are making an app to help travellers plan their trip.
Short idea:
It will be an itinary planning tool, in which you can type a destination, and it will suggest you programs to do, sights to visit. After you select what you are interested in, it will make you a multi-day itinary with a detailed plan.
We have many other ideas, that would expand around this planning the bus or plane tickets between selected cities, etc.
We are travellers ourselves, and spent countless hours planning city and place visits, transportation booking, etc. We want to make a tool for ourselves and anyone else interested, that helps us plan our travel.
If you are interested in using such a tool, or would be open to shape the first version of such service, write us please. Comment, DM, zap, note, whatever it is.
We have a strong opinion how such tools would help us. But other opinions could shape this into an even better service.

Put the raincover on your backpack before travelling on a bus.
Bus trunks are usually really dirty, and your backpack will look like in a second as you got it from the rubbish. If you put on the rain cover, it will get dirty, not the backpack. But it is easier to clean than the backpack.

Use plastic foil to wrap your backpack before travelling on a plane.
- It protects the material
- You see if someone opened it

2 locks and 2 aluminium cables to securely lock your things to something is really helpful. You can use it:
- Overnight bus to secure your handbags
- Dormitory to secure your bags
- Maybe on the beach to secure your bags
- Anywhere to lock your bags
So they are really useful.

I think for us, the most tiring and time consuming part of longer term travelling is:
- Planning the number of days in a city
- Planning which city to visit
- Planning the transport between the cities
Why?
- We are bound to a return time
- We want to be as cheap as possible
- We want to visit everything that is possible
So if you are planning to do what we are doing, expect to spend considerable amount of time on organization during your trip.
We also plan to make an app though, to ease this work, because damn, this is hard.

If you care about minimizing your unnecessary costs. Sometimes bus tickets are cheaper buying on the bus station, sometimes online on busbud. So better check both.

A sleeping mask is a must.
It can really make a difference in buses, or hotels, where you have more light. Or even in a dormitory, where people arriving late will probably turn on and off the lights. Or on plane...
