As the first leg of my trip approached I tried to properly back everything I
needed with as little redundancy as possible. Since I am flying low cost I will
need to pack everything into a mid-sized backpack and carry everything else in
my pockets. While the airline limits the size of the backpack, they do not limit
the amount of pockets
(mostly).
So, I am travelling with
cargo pants
and a
traveller’s vest.
I was considering also carrying a fanny pack, but I’m worried that my sister may
call the fashion police (or as called in Europe, the fashion Interpol).
After planning my trip for over a year, today is the week that I will start my
flight.
Ecotopia
I volunteer in a bike transportation advocacy organisation called
Bikes for Jerusalem. A member of that organisation likes
to travel every year to a summer bike tour called
Ecotopia. Based on his explanation, it is a
group of politically active anarchists who bike for the entire summer in
different places of Europe. I’m not sure exactly what anarchist groups believe
in (from what I understand, it is basically socialism) nor am I sure exactly how
Ecotopia will go, but I will find out. Worst case scenario, I will treat this as
a LARP.
