Hello there travellers
My name is Marko
i'm Alex
and together we are the Vagabrothers
today we're talking travel tips!
how to pack the right clothes for your trip
doesn't matter how long your trip is, it could be a week, month, year...whatever
the packing list is the same
And we always manage to fit all of our clothes
plus our camera gear in to one carry-on size bag
now the key is to bring enough outfits to change your outfits every single day
or to wear the same shirt and just change your city everyday
gross dude, put that down
no the key is to get simple light weight material
clothes that you can hand wash and use in a wide variety of climates
so today we're going to show you the clothes that we wore on our six month, six continent
Biggest Baddest Bucket list trip
which took us everywhere from the glaciers of Iceland to the sands of Arabia
that's right! First we're gonna talk material
okay, rule of thumb
avoid cotton where possible
and dress in lightweight synthetic materials
they breathe well, they pack down small,
you can wash 'em in the sink and hang them over the dryer over night
now it's a little bit more expensive then regular clothes
but it's a really worthwhile investment
especially if you plan on doing a little bit of travelling
there's tons of companies out there that offer similar products
we chose Patagonia because of their high quality material
lifetime guarantees,
good style
and sound corporate ethics!
okay so lets go through clothing, item by item, starting with shirts
our go-to travel shirts are these
long sleeve, button down, 50% polyester and 50% nylon
super breathable, it also got UV protection
and if its really hot you can always roll the sleeves up
and for casual settings either bring a short sleeve button down shirt or another long sleeve
and they don't all have to be plaid
hey shut up, PLAID is RAD!
but you should bring 3 shirts in total, that's the point
plus it never hurts to bring a T-Shirt
we recently got hooked up by these La Paz shirts
really cool travel company
we like their designs
but we also recommend bringing a synthetic t-shirt
Underarmor and Patagonia make these
they quick dry, they also double for running gear or rash guards if you're surfing
next up, pants!
girls, you probably already know this but some guys don't
when you choosing your pants, make sure that match your shirt and you make outfits
we chose Khaki, super versatile colour and it never gets dirty
okay, you should also bring a pair of shorts and a swimsuit
the shorts are good even though Europeans don't wear them
they're great for hot days
and the board shorts or our swimsuits are good for running as well swimming
now we also found out there's this new hybrid clothing
by Rip Curl, it's called The Boardwalk [The Boardwalk]
they basically shorts made out of swimsuit material
so it's great for two for one
and you can always go comando
now ladies don't look to us for advice on pantys
but boys we do recommend that you get three pairs
of these Exofficio quick dry boxer briefs
you can hand wash 'em and they dry overnight
plus they breathe so well that you don't have to change them for a week
what are you doing Mark?
i always wanted to be an underwear model
you put your pants back on!
sorry!
next up, shoes!
the most common packing mistake is bringing too many pairs of damn shoes
oh my God, shoes!
we only brought one pair of trail runners
because they are comfy enough for the city,
they're strong enough for hiking and they're made for running
we also brought a pair of sandals made by Teva or Sanuk
they're super loungeable, plus
when you throw 'em on with a pair of jeans
and a button-down shirt, you can dress up with them
they're also really easy to pack
now last, bring some socks
three different colors so you know which ones are clean and which ones are dirty
last but not least, dressing in layers
now it's a pretty simple concept
instead of bringing one big bulky jacket
you bring layers of clothing that you can take off or put on
depending on the weather
now we brought these two things, a Nano Puff jacket
and a basic lightweight shell, both from Patagonia
they combine to keep us super warm and dry in any climate
[plus] and they can pack [?] really really small
super small, but last but not the least the most important accessory
is this, it is a quick dry towel
it's designed for backpacking
this will save you cash, at hostels they charge you for towels
buy one of these and be a happy camper
and don't forget your sunglasses and a hat
so as you can see, we pack light because we keep it simple and bring
only the essentials, so if you have to ask yourself do I really need this
chances are you wont
and if you do, you can probably buy it on the road
so take half the clothes you think you need and twice the amount of cash
those are our travel tips

later
[previous video inset] we're going to cover a wide variety of topics
from the most basic, like how to pack your bag, where to go
and how to get there,
to more complex questions like how to study or work abroad
and some tips on how to learn a new language
so lets started with
the most basic question
why travel?
[next video inset] i had no idea that's such a cool
restaurant, farm to table, exists in Tijuana
it's obvious that there's a lot of things happening with food
but as much as i love food, now
we get to try the best part of the whole thing which is beer
lets go see what's happening with beer
starting with The Beer Box just down the street
vamos!
