I’m heading down to Charleston, SC later this week on a good ol’ fashioned road trip for a Cruze-arati shoot. It’s been a while since I did a multi-day road trip (I’ll be stopping along the way rather than plowing through to Charleston in one shot). Unlike trips involving flights, my road trip preparation is less about what to pack and more about what to eat. Road trip snacking is essential and one’s choice of foods-on-the-go is as personal as one’s preference in mates. (more…)

Travel Tip #20: Pack a Snack
Whether you’re on a flight, a hike or a walk through a city, it’s always a good idea to have a snack in your pack (plus, you know, it rhymes). Sure, you should try local foods and explore street carts and markets, but having some snacks from home will ensure that you can eat something in a pinch.
I have my own ideas on what constitutes a good snack and, since this is my blog, I’m going to share them with you.
On a Flight
- Dried mango
- Trail mix (must include M&Ms)
On a Hike
- Dried mango
- Trail mix (must include M&Ms)
Walking Around a City
- Dried mango
- Trail mix (must include M&Ms)
So, there you have it. You’ll never regret having a snack tucked away in your bag. And neither dried mango nor trail mix can spoil. Throw a bag of each in your pack before you depart and all of your friends will think you’re smart.
Note: Crackers on a glacier beats no crackers on a glacier, but I much prefer candy.
