You may not need the ipod, but a gps system of some type like an iphone will be invaluable.

Hey there, I stumbled upon your blog when looking up round the world packing lists, and I’ve been an avid reader since. I’m 27, just quit my job, and am about to embark on a 10 month trip alone (just got my vaccines!), so a lot of what you’ve written here is really inspiring. Also a vegetarian, so it’s good to know you can still eat well abroad. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and let you know I love your blog–thanks!

thanks so much for this post!! one question- I’m in the midst of packing for a round the world trip and wondering, are you able to fit everything on this list in your diva 35 pack? or are you selective in what you bring? what can you fit? thanks so much!!

I totally agree with you, zip locs and scarves are my best friends when traveling! :D

I would add a Kindle reading device for trips in non-English speaking areas if you are an avid reader. Couldn’t have survived in S. America for the year I was there without it! Plus, while I did bring 2 bras, I lived in my Norm Thompson built-in underwire bra camis. I had 1 white, 1 black and 1 red. They were great as tank tops in tropical areas, and were perfect for layering under everything else when more modesty or warmth was called for.

Great tips! Taking a trip around the world has always been my dream since I was a kid and I’m sure I’m going to be able to accomplish it one of these days.

Thanks for sharing these helpful tips. I agree with the principle valid for anywhere you go: pack what you “really need”, buy everything else “locally”, leave room for purchase! My personal tip: if you do not want to bring fotocopies with you store all your docs/data on a USB-key, it’s handy and fits everywhere. For handwashing bring with you an universal rubber sink plug, very useful! If you need any advice and tips for Australia visit my website.

@Steve, I ended up putting dryer sheets in my running shoes! :)
