Can’t believe it’s two weeks since I last updated my blog space.
I’ve been so incredibly busy preparing my trip and getting ready to move out of my place.. madness!!

Well by now only my backpack gear is left in the flat plus a few bits and pieces.
Tomorrow and maybe Tuesday after work is flat cleaning but that should be it.
Everything is ready to move out..

Backpack Packing….

Where to start? Andy suggested I take little and aim to have my pack half empty since no doubt I will add to my possessions while travelling. Ha Ha Ha 😀 No doubt he’s right but how on earth am I oing to manage to have my pack only half full?

I test-packed my gear today and .. well… it didn’t all fit!
So funny! So I must seriously downsize my stuff but how I simply don’t know.
Seriously, I don’t have that much stuff (I thought anyway) and since I will travel several countries with different climates I need _some_ flexibility with my clothes to work in warm & cold. Layering is what I opted for when cold so overall my clothes should be quite a good choice .. 2 Convertible Trousers, 4 T-Shirts (yes maybe I take fewer), 1 Shirt, 2 Fleece (1 thin, 1 medium), Rain Jacket, Walking Sandals, Hiking Shoes,Underwear, a few pair of socks.

Probably the other things are what causes most problems:
Non-Clothes are bulky or heavy or both:
Travel Pillow, Towel, Sleep Sheet are not too bad but toiletries, medical stuff are heavy and bulky and the few electrical thingies such as chargers for camera, mobile, mp3 not the best to pack away either.

I weight my pack with most things in and it came to about 16kg w/o camera so that’s good news I guess 😉
Still it wasn’t fully packed and overal the size is just too big for my liking.

So I will throw out a bunch of things and play more minimalist if possible at all ..

How much does someone need on a Round-The-World Trip?
