+[[!meta title="The travel lite strategy"]]
+
+When travelling, people don't wan't to be worried about luggage. But very often
+people make a huge bag with tons of stuff that may round the world without
+seeing the sunlight, resting useless in the suitcase. People do that mainly
+because they feel insecure about their trip and pack everything they consider
+that will be useful.
+
+If that's your case, first we recommend you to rely your travel safety in other
+aspect of your planning. Second, we recommend that you carry just the mininum.
+For "minimum" we mean really the minimum. Here comes our tip...
+
+Imagine you're a sort of [Paul
+Erdős](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Paul_Erd%C5%91s%5E) or
+[Julian Assange](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Assange%5E) in
+the sense that you're always travelling, moving around carrying just the barely
+necessary for your existence.
+
+If that's you case, we would like to help you with the minimal checklist.
+
+Equipment
+
+* Your documents and money.
+* Notebook and pencil.
+* Smartphone, USB charger, USB cable and headphones.
+* Laptop and charger.
+* Micro toilet kit: tootbrush, toothpaste and mini-shampoo/soap.
+
+Special clothes for all seasons
+
+* 3 underwear
+* 2 socks
+
+Special clothes for winter
+
+* 2 warm underwear sets
+* A jacket
+* Polar fleece
+* Gloves
+* Hat 
+
+Special clothes for summer
+
+* 2 dry-fit tshirts
+
+Wash your clothes while taking shower or use vodca or another spirit to wash. What else you need to have a good time?

+
+This short history has many things to do with Europe decadence: basically our
+luggage got lost in Frankfurt airport in the last December and our conection
+fligh was cancelled. The whole airport was crowded, a lot of flights were
+cancelled and there were just a minimum staff to help and recommend people to
+get a train to their final destination.
+
+"Ok", we said, "we get the train but then give us our luggage". The staff just
+replied: "No luggage, the system is overloaded. Fill this form and we'll send
+your luggage home".
+
+Hell! We were at the airport, our luggage was lying there and we couldn't get
+it! Also, sending the luggage back home was no deal. The companies didn't
+realized that actually there were people travelling to and not just returning
+from their trips.
+
+In short, we spent 15 days in an extreme european winter without luggage.
+That's why we adopted the [Travel Lite Strategy](/travel/lite).
+
+It looks like in normal conditions everything works in Europe, while during
+emergency situations people can't handle anything and start to mess things
+around. In Brazil things looks quite the opposite: there aren't "normal"
+conditions in the sense of everything working seamleslly. Everything always
+looks like in a special conditions, but at least people can manage the
+situation.
+
+So it looks like a symptom of the crisis and substantial cuts the airway
+companies had in the past two years. They fired a big part of their staff, a
+measure that save money without a "substantial" loss of quality in their
+service (read: without reaching the consumer's claiming threshould) during
+normal conditions. But a measure that definatelly has disastrous consequences
+during emergencies.
+
+So, when travelling, always remember: companies are there for the sole purpose
+of profit, they give a shit for you or for their staff. If they could they
+would fire everybody, except you that is their source of wealth.
