Travel Tip 2 - Take your condiments

I love travelling but I know I will want to bring some goodies back home and with the airlines clamping down on how much luggage you can take with you combined with the fact that I hate carrying too much luggage with me I have started travelling as light as possible.

Well I like to travel to my destination as light as possible leaving me loads of scope for purchases to bring back home!

I love trying new foods when I travel however sometimes you may need a little help, a cup of coffee before you track down a great local cafe, some chili spices in advance of finding that fantastic local restaurant everyone talks about.

I like to take a few condiments with me in case of emergency however a bottle of sauce or a jar of coffee would weigh far too much to be on my packing list.  Solution:-

Take a plastic or other lightweight carrier filling it with a couple of sachets of instant coffee, your favourite sweetener and other must haves.

My emergency stash would include chia seeds, matcha tea, tabasco sauce, coffee and tea bags for Mr R.

These little portions will just keep you calm whilst you get used to the local products - you will usually find most things abroad even if they differ slightly!

What would you put in your little plastic pouch? Leave a comment below - maybe it will turn out to be a reminder to someone else to take with them.
