This week I’ve seen two helpful posts on getting organized for travel, at opposite ends of the travel scale.

Around the World

Unclutterer has a post on travelling from Chris Guillebeau. Chris is a man with a plan – to visit every country in the world (113 out of 197 done) before his 35th birthday in 4 years. Impressive!

He offers a few tips for being a more organized, less stressed traveler, including:

• Taking fewer clothes
• Having nothing large in the bag
• Being flexible
• Combining items and multitasking wherever possible
• Leaving things along the way
• Having the right technology

And he should know!

On the Road

For road trippers, Productivity 501 suggests some handy Tips for Car Travel:

• Driving into the daytime rather than night
• Having a large store of podcasts & books on CD
• Using GPS
• Writing down highway patrol numbers before leaving
• Preparing first aid and emergency supplies
• Knowing how to change a tire
• Getting a professional vehicle maintenance check
• Doing a visual check of your car – lights, etc – yourself
• Packing a single overnight bag should you stop at a hotel
• Rationing toys over time
• Keeping cells and such charged, and taking chargers with you
