I am doing a Masters program that involves a lot of travel - a year and a half of it, to be exact. Most is in Europe, but also South American, Japan and China. I have spent the past year living in Europe, and I have the backpacking thing down, but my problem is the situations I'm going to be in: classes, professional meetings, and even black tie events. Ideally I would travel with one carry on suitcase, but I'm not sure this is possible. Several things:
- Any general advice would be greatly greatly appreciated.
- Are there any women out there who can help me solve the shoe problem? Right now I can't seem to figure out how to get it down to less than five (black flats, brown flats, sneakers, flip flops/shower shoes, black dressy heels).
- Has anybody come up with a good solution for carrying jewelry? Not expensive jewelry, of course, but something to dress up an outfit if I need to. This year I ended up with lots of tangled necklaces.
- I have a French bank account and an American one, as well as an American Express credit card. I want to get another one, as AE isn't as widely accepted as I'd like... I hear Capital One is the way to go on foreign travel... any thoughts?
- Does anybody know of collapsible headphones for a computer? My headphones, that I use for Skype, are huge and I'm looking for the smallest I can find...
- Finally, any suggestions on a travel sized computer would help. I have an HP right now and was thinking about going with the same thing, but smaller... what do you think? I can't break the bank here.
okay i think thats it for now!! really, any comments or suggestions on ANY subject, not just the ones I listed, would be appreciated!
