    My tip…I don’t like to pack things that have one use…like a sink stop. What you can use is your dry bag. It’s water tight…put a few cup of water in it from the sink with a couple of item of clothing, seal it up, agitate it, squish it around, shake it, take clothes out wring them out, hang to dry. Empty the bag into the sink and hang it to dry wrong side out. It’ll dry way before your clothes do.

    If you're going to be spending more than a week in the Amazon, especially the rainier Peruvian/Ecuadorian/Colombian part, bring a spray bottle with vinegar because things get moldy super easily in the rain forest! I work months at a time in the Ecuadorian Amazon and it's a life saver. I usually include a couple drops of eucalyptus and lavender essential oils so that not everything smells like vinegar 😂

If you ever make it there, I will be curious to see what you will make out of it. People made me scare of it when while in Dominican republic, all the locals were looking at my bike and asking me how it works. A few tourists who have been in Brazil told me that Brazilians will stole my bike in 5 minutes and figured out by themselves how it works.!! That added with the security reputation of the country, kept me away from it. Even Gabriel traveler hasn't been there because he doesn't trust the security.
