1 - Buy a set of baggage scales, after my first trip when i discovered my luggage weighed in at 37kg!!! I could lift this as well and I am not a large gal!
2 - Invest in a Lebara sim card. You can use this whenever you go away to stop panicking parents and friends from worrying that you will break yourself and not tell them. This company some how manages to use other peoples networks and keeps the call costs home well cheap. Also absolutely amazing for calling your mates who work abroad as the discount rate works there too!
3 - Do Not take up kitesurfing if you have a mini convertible and you want to keep it sand and salt water free. The boot is about the same size as a prada shoe box and no use for any form of kitesurf attire. Sell it now, buy something practical. Trust me!
4 - Don't forget to take English tea bags. Lipton is the order of the day in any country in Europe and Africa and it is horrible.
5 - Try to avoid flying with Iberia if you have your own kites and you want to take them. Their excess baggage charges are expensive.
6 - Buy a camping towel, they fold up really small and yet they do the job fine and dry really quickly, they weigh next to nothing as well so less to lug about in the body bag!!
5 - You like Marmite - take some as you will never find it.
6 - Use Columbus direct for any travel insurance that involves adventure sports and the required equipment, they are well priced and really helpful. I insured myself and luggage and my kites / board for the 74 days for less than £100.
