Get back (packing)
We often hear the excuse that a person can't go backpacking because they're "too unfit"," too this" or "too that". Trust us when we say that we have seen every body shape and personality backpacking. If you want to go - for any reason - then just GO!
Plan what you need by making a list well weeks in advance. Leave out the hairdryer and high heels. You want to keep your pack under 10kg because you'll be lifting it up on to bus rooftops.

Setup an email Hotmail, Gmail account or similar
-
Will you really need your favourite shirts and shoes? Consider a 2nd hand clothing store to outfit you for your trip
-
If you aren't prepared to lose it or have it stolen, don't take it!
-
Pack large, industrial garbage bags. They'll come in handy when it rains and your pack is on a bus roof top
You can enter the mines at Potasi, Bolivia at your own risk
