RTW: G’s Packing List

I packed 8 months of travel clothes into a carry-on size backpack.

Backpack

osprey-porter

Osprey Porter 46. I must have gone through a new pack for every trip we’ve taken. Most resemble the backpacker’s pack — you know, the ones you see all throughout Europe for first time backpackers. Yup, those. So the Osprey is a bit of a departure and thank goodness for that. A big requirement for me was that my backpack had to be carry-on size and front-loading for easy access.

Packing Aids include: 

Clothing

Tops

  • 4 t-shirts
  • 1 s/s button-up shirt
  • 1 l/s button-up shirt
  • 1 base layer (Patagonia Capilene 2)
  • 2 tank tops
  • 2 cool hoodies as seen here at Lonely Kids Club
  • 1 Patagonia Men’s Simple Guide Jacket

 

Bottoms

  • 1 denim
  • 1 convertible cargo pants
  • 1 pairs of shorts
  • 1 athletic shorts
  • 1 pair swim trunks

 

Accessories

  • hat
  • sunglasses (Raybans)

Shoes

  • 1 pair of Keen Newport H2 (ugly, but so functional)
  • 1 pair of Reef sandals
  • 1 black sneakers
shoes


Other

  • 6 pairs of underwear (Mainly Exofficio)
  • 3 pairs of socks
  • 1 quick dry travel towel

 

Gadgets

I recently posted my gadget list of devices I believe is essential for travel, more importantly, for long-term travel. And since Q’s packing Toiletry and Medicine for the both of us, I’ve got all the gadgets. Here’s the list (again) in short.

  • Nikon D90 w/ 18-105mm & 35mm 1.8 lenses
  • Canon S95
  • Kindle Touch 3G
  • Netbook Acer Aspire Timeline X 11.6″
  • Droid Incredible 2
  • iPod Touch
  • Garmin Nuvi GPS & iPod car adapter for road trip through New Zealand

 

Miscellaneous

 

Documents

  • passport
  • extra passport photos
  • air tickets
  • driver’s license
  • bank card + credit card
  • cash

Total weight: 23 lbs

You probably noticed that I didn’t pack any toiletries or medication. You can find that on Q’s packing list since I’m carrying the gadgets.

For this kind of long-term trip, I found that it’s worth investing in packing cubes and quality travel clothes that are quick dry (like my Exofficio underwear and sports socks).

So there’s my list!

And here’s how everything looks packed up!

So what do you guys think of my packing? Did I forget anything or pack too much?
