I've been traveling out of carryon luggage for almost 15 years, and I really disagree with a lot of the stuff in this post. I find many of the people who say "I'm traveling like a local not a tourist" to be at least slightly self-deceiving. You're a goddamned tourist, whether you go to restaurants with good reviews or not. The packing tips here are utter nonsense, as well as the suggestion that you get better exchange rates with cash than with credit cards.
