Best Travel Towel

Putting those normal bath towels you use at home on your packing lists is a big no-no. Being big, bulky, and slow to dry makes them terrible for travel. The last thing you want to do is have to pack up a wet towel into your luggage. On arrival, there’s bound to be a musty stench to deal with. Yuck.

Why the Best Travel Towel is a Turkish Towel
