RTW Packing List

In true travel blog fashion I have compiled a packing list for my RTW trip. If you know me at all, then the thought of me living out of a backpack for 6 months seems quite laughable (let’s just say I have A LOT of clothes.) But, these are the parameters I face in living my dream; therefore I can honestly say that my research consisted of about 25% travel plans and 75% packing plans! I found it extremely helpful to see what fellow RTW travels had in their packs, so here goes nothing…

Yes, I know. I over-packed. But, let me just say that this is what’s left after taking many things out… several times. Inevitably I will lose things, leave things and add things to my pack. I just hope that it doesn’t get any heavier!
