Packing List for my Round The World Trip

After checking though tons of packing lists from other travel bloggers and ideas from my previous trips, I finally made a list of everything I needed/wanted to take. I followed through with most of the things on my list but decided I didn't need some items and ended up adding some items. Listed below are the final contents of my back pack. This is kind of a long post, so tuck in and enjoy :).

The Backpack



I decided to go with a smaller backpack than most backpackers and travelers use. I am shorter than your average person, so I couldn't really see me using one of the larger backpacks, as they would overtake me and would result in taking unnecessary stuff.

I chose the REI Lookout 40 Pack, which is a woman's day pack. It's a 40 liter bag with the dimensions of 20 x 13 x 10.5 inches. Not only did I choose this bag because it fit my size, but because it fits most of the dimensions for a carry on bag, especially Ryanair's strict dimension policies. Their dimensions are 21 x 15.7 x 8 in (I'm sincerely hoping they don't notice that mine is 2.5 inches off on that last part). Bags also have a weight limit of 22 pounds. Mine comes in a 18.6 pounds after everything is put in it :).

The Contents

Shoes
