Microfiber towels for the win!
Thanks for sharing your list!
I also dress by layers when traveling in cold weather, and recently discovered these jackets that are so light and can be compressed and do not take any space. I also carry an ebook reader like you, love reading! Electronics are heavy though but there is no choice but to take them. I didn’t have an iPad but had a cheap smartphone and bought a local SIM card in each country to have access to internet when there was no wifi.
I never heard of the power strip, adaptor and converter all in one, that would be very useful!
Thanks for sharing this packing list. I admire your ability to pack so light! I’m not a backpacker, and not sure I could be, because I like to bring at least a weeks worth of changes of clothes. To me trying to do laundry on the road is something to be minimized as much as possible! You do manage to bring quite a few electronics, which I sympathize with as I bring a lot with me too. I would love to know more about your camera and why you chose it. I hope you’ll do a post about that in the future.
Electronics are back breaking for sure! Props on carrying the dslr, I dare not take mine and brought a micro four third instead. Somedays I look back and can’t believe I got through south America with a 40l pack+ messenger bag. I meant to add, my must have for long term travel are: silk lining and tiger balm. Saved me dozens of times!
Hmmm… Tiger Balm. That’s interesting. Did you get to use it? I have a 40L backpack too, but with all the things I’ve bought (souvenirs mostly), it’s definitely not enough.
The longest time I’m gone is probably a month and still when I go to tropical countries I come back with my camera messed up from the humidity. Do you encounter this problem?
Also when my husband brings a swiss army knife that of course he puts in his back pack and goes thru the airport xray machine, 100% of the time it gets confiscated. You don’t get yours confiscated? We even got a free cork screw from a place we went to and also got confiscated on the way back home.
No, I don’t have that humidity problem. Good thing too, I have enough problems with my camera as is. LOL Re knife, I always put it in my checked luggage. I don’t want it to be confiscated!
