Travel Gear: SCARF


Why does this item deserve an entire entry? One word: versatile. Never leave home without it.

Where to get them: If you’re in Asia, they abound in night markets or in bazaars.

Cost: Between US$ 1 TO 2.


1.     Neck scarf. To keep you warm from cooler weather

2.     Your pass to enter religious places: Instead of having to use the public garments (and sometimes pay for it), this nifty scarf has saved me a lot of times! 
Muslim Malaysia requires women to cover their heads

Hindu Bali requires a waistband

3.     Sun protection. In the absence of a hat, a scarf will do.

4.     For hikes. To keep your hair and sweat away from your face

5.     Works well as a shawl too.

Do you have any other uses for a scarf?
