Do you guys think I pack too much ? I am guilty bringing in too much varieties.But if you see from the below photo, I only brought a backpack for 2 weeks travel, I would say I am good!
What are your travel must have items? let me know in the comment.
Very useful post :D
I will check your post again next time I am going somewhere ;) And I think it is reasonable packing ;)
Thank you for sharing!
ah, I am glad it's useful. thank you for reading.
Great post! The student ID is a great one! I wish I would've known to bring it with me on trips when I was a student. Too bad I'm not anymore haha. I always forget to bring pens also. Such tiny detail, but really comes in handy when you have to fill out forms in the plane :/
I am not a student anymore, but I still use my old student card and surprisingly it worked so far. Agree, having pen is so handy.
Really? haha That's great! I will have to try it!
yes, wear sunnies. it helped. :P
Very detailed and very useful article But being a man I can cut down to half from your list. :) I should do a Mens basic packing blog. :)
A very useful list, nothing is missing. I would consider some modifications for gentlemen, though 😊
thanks! I wonder what guys packs .
All kind of staff, some have shaving kits, some put hair bands. You have captured the most important things. I wonder about towels and body wash, most of the places I stayed in Europe would have those included with the hotel room. A chance to lighten your backpack ; )
Good packing list! You're a light traveler.
I usually travel for a long time and I bring sleeping bag / tent, in case of camping of adventure trips. Books may seem heavy, but I like to read while waiting in the bus terminal or just not to get bored. I'm not really into ebook-reader.
I do not like e reader too. I wonder what you carry on your long term travel bags, would love to see.
