FAQ: How do I know what to pack?
\xa0
Answer: It\u2019s a common question, so let\u2019s tackle it.

Look at the weather forecast for the city where you are going. Consider the types of activities you plan to do. Remember, you can always buy, rent, or even borrow from someone when you get there in case you don\u2019t have the right items packed. For example, I bought an umbrella in Vietnam on my around-the-world trip. It was the best $3.00 spent because it kept me dry, shaded me from the sun, and was a wind protector for the next 12 weeks. Whether you pack an umbrella or not can depend on your destination. Traveling as light as possible will free you from many things you don\u2019t know about now. Even the most seasoned travelers have faced this question, so you are not alone.
Today\u2019s destination: Glasgow, Scotland
If you're interested in art and history, you won't be disappointed in Glasgow. The city has many museums and galleries, including the Hunterian Art Gallery, which is a must-see. You can also visit the Glasgow Cathedral, one of the most famous buildings in the city. For a taste of the outdoors, head to Pollok Country Park and the Burrell Collection, which are on the South Side, southwest of the center. You might need to take a city bus or two to get there, but it's well worth it. I took a train back to Glasgow, as the station was near the area I was heading next.
