I like to travel and when I do I always bring a bandana with me. I usually use it as a head gear to keep my hair from my face, especially if I’m traveling on a non-airconditioned vehicle, and it also protects my hair from dust. Aside from this, bandanas has a number of other uses too, like one time I had a cut on my knee and I used it to temporarily protect the cut and to stop the bleeding. It really is very practical to always bring one when traveling and here are other ways you can use it:

1. You can use it to clean your sunglasses and wipe off sweat

2. You can use it as a dust mask

3. It can be used to tie a ponytail

4. Tie a bandana to the back of your hat to keep the sun off your neck and prevent a sunburned neck.

5. When traveling by plane, tie a bandana on your luggage so you can easily identify it at the airport.

6. Very handy as first aid: bandage, tourniquet, sling, eye patch

7. When camping you can use it as a napkin, wash cloth, placemat, pot holder, to carry food, to tie food bag to tree, to cover food

8. When you’re on a hot pace, you can soak it in water and use it to cool down or use it as an ice pack

9. Use it to as water or coffee filter

10. For fashion: sweat band, belt, neckerchief, and you can even use it accessorize your bags and furnitures at home.

These are a just a few was to use your bandana and there are hundreds more. Bandanas are very versatile so don’t leave home without it when you’re traveling. I especially love bandanas by Esprit, I just love the prints on theirs and I own a couple but I lost one of them and the other one is made from something like a thick silk and I can’t even tie it without ruining the fabric. Pretty useless if you ask me. I also had a couple from Benetton but again I lost both. Yep, I’m very clumsy, I know. Haha! For the local version of the bandana, we have what they call Tubao. I also have a few of these from my friends.
