Comment on Why I bring my guitar everywhere I go by NomadicNeil

Hey Shaun,

I bring a regular sized guitar with me and most times it counts as carry on, usually you get to take 2 pieces of hand luggage. Other times it goes with the surfboards and ski-equipment. In any case I can’t ever remember paying extra to bring it with me.

When I’m travelling around it can be quite awkward but I can’t go without having a guitar to hand. It really helps to fill up the time waiting around for transport.

This time round I’m based in one location so I don’t have that hassle of lugging it around.

You can get very cheap guitars here in Asia, the action is usually horrible and they’re difficult to keep in tune but they serve their purpose.

I’m really struggling to decide whether to take a guitar with me while travelling. Do you find it a pain? Do you take it as carry-on or check it? Fullsize or miniature travel guitar?

I feel pretty similarly – the last time I went more than a day or two without playing was on my last trip last summer and withdrawal is a bitch.

Question is: Do I take a decent travel guitar or pick up an almost disposable cheap instrument whenever I’m in a single place? I know if I don’t do it I’ll wish I had and I also suspect there’ll be times I wish I’d left it behind.

Still undecided.

Hey Benny, It was a one off project from English to Dutch. It was for some software.

I get to spend the next few days with a big bunch of bloggers here in Ko Phi Phi, including Sean, Dan and Ian! There's a few here already (including Baker from ManvsDebt). It's been excellent to get to hang out with like minded individuals with similar goals! Sorry I haven't run into you yet! What translation work do you do??
