		<title>Packing Light for Fair Trade Travel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No matter where I go, or how long I go for, I take only my purse and a backpack with me on my travels.
The reason I love packing uber-light are many: it&#8217;s cheaper (I don&#8217;t have to pay a suitcase charge), it&#8217;s easier (I don&#8217;t lug suitcases around an airport, or around the subway or [...]]]></description>
