Packing for a 9 month trip -Davie

Since we are traveling for a very long time, it's hard at first to decide what to pack! So even if you are going away for 1 month or more, these are the things that I highly recommend to pack in your suitcase!

What to pack in your backpack:
If you are traveling for a long time, it will get SO annoying if your backpack is very heavy, so I highly recommend to not put very heavy things in your backpack. In my backpack I have: 
-my Nintendo switch
-my homework 
-my basketball 
-and my water bottle 
Also, try to think VERY carefully about what you are packing. I have sent countless things home with my friends and family. At the end of Japan, we sent a whole suitcase of things back with my Obachama and my Ojichama. For example, don't bring big fat headsets, try to bring airpods, earbuds, or wired earbuds if you can find them. Also things such as pants (bring only one pair), towels (most hotels have them), and big hoodies (don't pack more then one). 

Get a cross body bag
 
I'm sure that you have seen one of these bags before, and I highly recommend to get one of these. Even if you are traveling for like 2 weeks. I'm currently collecting pins on mine! This is what it looks like: 
Champion is an awesome brand, and so if Nike, Under Armor, Lululemon, and other brands that you are familiar with. I got this as a Christmas gift from my uncle and I use it every day! This is what I have in it:  
-Phone 
-Phone charger 
-Phone battery pack 
-Airpods
-Wallet
-Handgripper
-Gum (watermelon and Mint) 
This thing can hold so much stuff 💥

What to pack in your suitcase: 
Out of everyone in my family, my suitcase is the lightest, weighing 9 KG. My moms suitcase is 14, my dad's is 15, and my sisters is 12. I packed...... 

-13 t-shirts 
-5 socks 
-5 shorts 
-2 swimsuits 
-1 hoodie
-1 towel (small)
-6 underwear 
-1 pair of pants 
-1 pair of shoes 
-1 pair of slides 
And I currently have limited edition Candy and 3 pairs of fake airpods as gifts. But in Japan I had a whole bag that I carried around full of gifts for my friends 💀.

Also, try to keep your suitcase under 10 KG to save money on baggage on flights.

Top Apps & Sites for Travel (Angie)

Travel Apps We Rely On We didn't have much planned before we left Vancouver for our 9-month trip. So we've been planning and booking as we go. Here are the important apps and sites we've been using! FLIGHT APPS To watch for the best flight deals, I've used Hopper and Skyscanner . Admittedly, when we go to book, we don't usually click from there but rather try to book directly with the airline to get the best deals AND to make sure we really understand the luggage allowances!  Tip : Skyscanner watches RyanAir discount flights in Europe, whereas Hopper does NOT seem to include that. Of course to minimize our costs, we have also maximized our points from Avion and Aeroplan! Luckily, managed to use points for 3 big flights. SHARED TRAVEL ITINERARY Since we're both contributing to booking flights, trains, cars, accomodations and tours, we share it all with each other in TripIt. We use the free version, but it has been so great to keep track of all our bookings, date...

Tigman Village, Palawan Island, Philippines BY: Davie

Image
Our stay in tigman village was so fun, we stayed there for 1 week and voulenteered planting mangrove trees, and in the afternoons I would go over to the school to teach the kids things, like math, english, and why they should protect the mangrove trees. I stayed in a dorm room with 2 other guys not including me and my dad. In the mornings, we had breakfast at 8:00, and started the voulenteer work from 9- 11 AM, before it got scourching hot out. The one thing that was my FAVORITE thing that I did here at Tigman village was the basketball court, it was an outdoor plaza that was covered by giant roof.  The kids from the village were so excited when I played basketball and teached at the school. Overall, I had a great time here and I thought it was an awesome experience! these were what the mangrove trees looked like.
