Wilkinson is a travellin' female with a lovely light sense
of humour. In this contribution she advises other Journeywomen
preparing for a trip to "pack light but always carry
lots of bandanas." Tara writes...
As you travel the world
carrying only your backpack or other small bag you want
to be prepared for as many eventualities as possible. Since
you can't possibly carry all the things you might need,
I counsel you to stock up on bandanas instead. With a supply
of these, you can get by in at least 40 different situations.
It's
a headband, etc...
 Use
as a dish cloth
Use as a headband
It's a picnic
napkin
It's a first-aid
tourniquet
Tie a ponytail
Use as a hankie
Carry your lunch
It's a pillow
cover
Play tug of war
with new travel friends
Stay cool - just
wet and tie round your neck.

It's
a bracelet, etc...
 Connect
with travel partners in a crowd
Clean your camera
lens
It becomes a placemat
Shine your shoes
Tie extra stuff
to your knapsack
Polish your fruit
Wear as a funky
bracelet
Collect shells
on the beach, berries in the woods
Cover your nose
in a dust storm
Wipe away sweat
or .. (hopefully not)..tears

It's
a blindfold, etc...
Use as a belt
Use as a bandage
 Use
as a washcloth
It serves as a
sling
Wear as a "sleep"
blindfold
Shoo away bugs
Cover your nose
or mouth from foul smells
Stay clean sitting
on dusty surfaces
Wrap a gift
Protect your head
from the sun |
 It's
a necklace, etc...
Disguise
your voice on the phone
Wear as a necklace
Fill with ice
and use as compress
Clean your sunglasses
Mark a trail
Cheer at a concert
or sporting event
Wipe the windshield
of your rental car
Unveil a surprise
Wrap breakable
gifts in your knapsack
|
And finally, always
carry a supply of new bandanas in your backpack. They're
inexpensive, they take up no room at all and they make fabulous
gifts and icebreakers for those other travellers you meet
along the way. Tell them about this "bandana"
list. See if together you can dream up new uses. When you
get home click
here and share your new list with Journeywoman. We'll
publish the best as we receive them.
Happy travelling!
