Title – Off to Market
Date – August 2003
Location - Canal des Pangalanes – Toamasina - Madagascar
This is a typical scene in so many parts of the world, be it a bicycle, rickshaw or tuk-tuk you will simply not believe the amount of produce they can carry. I have seen bicycles with literally hundreds of live chickens hanging upside down, rickshaws effectively being used to move house and tuk-tuks filled with all the family members attending a wedding. There is no maximum weight limit in much of the world.
The Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop covers many aspects of your travel planning and experiences you will encounter along the way. At Beyond The Blue we believe one of the most common mistakes made by the first time traveller is in what they pack for their trip. The savings we can help you achieve with the equipment you buy and over-pack, can often cover the cost of the workshop itself. Some will send the excess they pack home, some people will dump it; either way it can put a dent in your budget you can do without. We examine as part of our workshop what equipment you will need and what might be a little excessive, we also consider the effect that a heavy pack can have on your travel plans and your health over a long period of time.
