Travel Tip #7: Use earplugs

I kept a ziploc baggie of about 10 of them because I used them every night and didn’t want to use the same ones over and over. Also, they’re small and easy to lose.

I wore them pretty much every night in the Philippines. They protected me from the aural hazards of: traffic, people outside, people inside, roommates in hostels, roosters crowing all night long, early rising/late sleeping family, karaoke, snoring.

I use these Hearos ones specifically. They’re quite comfy. You compress them (like I’ve done in the photo), stick them in your ear and they expand.
