Always roll one jar of peanut butter and two packs of tortillas deep

Fact: You need to eat. Another Fact: Soon you will be hungry again.

Starvation does not look nice on you because you have those irregular shaped rips. When traveling you have a plethora of priorities to keep tract of. Eating, your first pastime, can easily slip off the list. But when you are Jones’ing for some sustenance in a third world airport wondering, “How’d she get a whole pizza?” you’ll wish you had something in your bag to patch that hole in your stomach.

You’re hungry, because you forgot to pack the moveable feast that is Tortillas and Peanut Butter. When you are traveling, be it a weekend trip or twenty years of travel, always roll with a can of peanut butter and pack of tortillas.

This may seem like a minor tip, but it’s not. It’s already changed the life of a certain Marine biologist.

In Iceland, when Shaun and I were starving, we ate tortillas and peanut butter straight from my guitar case. His traveling life has never been the same since. Tortillas and peanut butter may seem inconsequential, but not when you have it in your backpack and you are starving. Then it saves your life. Like all Marine biologists, Shaun rides dolphins for a living. This means you should listen his endorsement of tortillas and peanut butter. Like Shaun, you should also only by peanut butter with adorable bears on the label.

Peanut butter is packed with all the energy you need. But you can’t just spoon it into your mouth like a savage. No, come on, did you go to public school or something?

Tortillas are the perfect conduit to get that peanut butter from the jar into your mouth–just where you want it. They are easy to pack, far superior to their fragile cousins, bread, which will be smashed if you put it in your back. Tortillas come pre-smashed, so nothing can break them.

Travel like a baller, pack peanut butter and tortillas and never viajar hungry again.
