What would you pack for a year of backpacking to serve the world?
Please comment if you are an experienced traveler with any tips!


 

I am literally going to be backpacking around the world for a year!  This excites and terrifies me, the idea of not showering for a week, cooking meals over a campfire (yes, it will be that intense at times!), living out of a tent, and cramming everything into one pack… I am going to definitely get in SHAPE! (ha) 
 


My Packing List:
If you want to donate an item towards my trip, please email me ([email protected]).

  • Tent (must be a 2-person, freestanding tent w/ rain-fly, 5-6lbs or under – ideally 4lbs)
  • Sleeping bag (rated for at least 35 degrees)
  • Sheet or Sleeping Bag Liner  Thank you Tracey!
  • Sleeping Pad (good quality, I’ll be sleeping on it for a year)  Thank you Brad & Kate!
  • Small Pack towel (sarong)
  • Pocket multi-tool or knife
  • Mini alarm clock  Thank you Laura!
  • Outlet converter/voltage converter
  • Travel locks (combo locks are better than keyed)
  • Clothes Line
  • Mess Kit (mini eating utensils, mug, plate, and bowl)  Thank you Josh & Leslie!

 

 Again, if you would like to donate any of these items, I would gladly accept!
Please email me ([email protected]) or shoot me a Facebook message! 

Thank you,
