What you need to take part in an excursion. Useful suggestions:

- you should adapt your equipment and clothing to the climate of your destination: if you go on an island you shouldn’t forget bathing costume and summer cream, if you go to the mountains, gloves, woollen hat and some sweaters;

- you should always dress like a “onion”, that is with different layers, so that if it’s too hot you can undress, while if it’s cold you can put on something else. Put always in your rucksack a windcheater, in summer too, it could rain or be cold, especially in altitude;

- don’t underestimate the comfortableness of the trekking shoes, in summer too, but learn to treat well your feet letting them breathe before, during and after the hike;

- take only the water you need and something to eat, we’ll find the rest along the road; remember that the goodness of the excursionist can be seen also in the thrift of his rucksack: take only the essential, what doesn’t fit into the bag is not necessary;

- remember to take any medicines you need, where we go usually there are not pharmacies. Inform your guide of any need you have before leaving;

- adventurous spirit and adaptability are the consequences of your curiosity, and are fundamental to look deeply around you: be a little introspective;
