Here's the ultimate hack for traveling the world without taking stress of airline baggages
So , I travel a lot and I love to go island hopping and usually go for swimming, hiking , climbing , walking , even running (if possible)! A very active holiday, and not the BS resort stays and fake pools.
I hate traveling by air but there are no real alternatives, and i am always pissed about my bagpack's weight! Now I try to travel light and can buy cheap clothes or even do laundry. But WTF should i do for these shoes?
I carry a sneaker+ an overall slipper , and sometimes a decent converse if i am going for clubbing. Cant buy cheap shit as it f*cks with your feet. And since I am very active, I cant wear the same shit everywhere. Sneakers in a lounge, yuck!
So I thought I need just one type of footwear that I can use everywhere! After lot of deliberation and f*ckups (someone stole my Air Jordans in Manila 's hostel) , i came with a simple rule.
You need one footwear that is multipurpose. I went through the options, and finally concluded that only two brands offer such flexibility. Birkenstock and Crocs!
Now hear me out. Sure, Birkenstocks are expensive , but you can literally wear them on airport , on streets ,in casual events , even hiking (they have excellent grip) , near the beach (just dont take it in water) and i can just throw them back on when you leave. Its that simple.
If you are a water baby, then go for Crocs! But their ugly design makes you look lazy in clubs or on a date (if you are lucky enough!)
Trust me on this, having one pair takes out a chunk of space from your backpack and maybe make some space for couple of more trunks, which you desperately need on your sixth day of week long trip!
