Travelling Philosophy

My traveling philosophy:

1) Travel light
2) 4 is a comfortable number - 2 guys, 2 ladies (the best combination); 6 is not bad either
3) Dress comfortably, dress down
4) Camera is an essential
5) Walk more, see more, experience more
6) Souvenir-shopping is part of my itinerary
7) Sending postcards home make nice souvenirs
8) Free & easy or self-planned trips are preferred over tour packages for better control of itinerary
9) No no to a trip that is solely shopping/eating/recreational activities (i.e spa, massage, theme parks etc) - variety is needed to better experience the local culture (i.e. shopping, sight-seeing,
recreation，eating)
