Many of you have been asking me what I traveled with for 4 months. Here’s everything I had:

– Deuter GoGo Daypack

CLOTHES & SHOES

– Small packing cube had all of my underwear (14 pair) and socks (8 pair) inside

– Large packing cube had all of my shirts inside (10 shirts total – 2 tank tops, 1 dressy top, 7 t-shirts – some of which I acquired while traveling and left behind)

– Long sleeve chambray button-down shirt

– Scarf

– 1 pair of yoga pants (I wore these anytime I got on a plane, bus or train and also wore them to sleep in when it was cold)

– 1 pair of light pants from India to wear when I had to dress conservatively when it was hot outside (I got rid of these after I left Asia)

– 1 pair of black jeans

– 1 pair of capris

Flipsters foldable flip-flops – an amazing invention! I used these as shower shoes when I stayed in hostels.

– 2 bras (1 black, 1 beige) & 1 sports bra – 1 pair of black ballet flats – 1 pair of Merrell hiking shoes (Salida Mid Waterproof) – 1 pair of Teva Tirra sandals, which I can HIGHLY recommend! Every time I wore them, I was so happy to have them. When I was searching for a pair of sandals to bring on my trip, I was so hesitant to order these because I thought they looked too “grandma-ish”. I am so glad I got over that. I have plantar fasciitis in my feet and I cannot wear shoes that do not offer support. These were perfect.

– 2 pairs of shorts (one black pair and one pair of exercise shorts)

– 1 bikini

– 1 dress I purchased in Thailand and got rid of after awhile

TOILETRIES

– Toiletry bag

– Comb

– Mini brush

– Travel toothbrush

– Deodorant

– Face wash

– Nail clippers

– Tweezers

– Facial moisturizer

– Toothpaste

– Floss

– Aquaphor (lip care)

– 3 GoToobs (1 for shampoo, 1 for conditioner, 1 for sunscreen)

– Q-tips

– Tiger Balm

– Anti-itch liquid for mosquito bites

– Mascara (I didn’t even use this until my 3rd month of traveling!)

– BB Cream

– Eye drops

– Razor

– Nail file

– Lotion

*Not pictured:

– Ear plugs – Eye mask – Band-aids – Mosquito repellent Lunatec Self-Cleaning Travel Washcloth (it dries within 30 minutes and is great!!) – Small packets of tissues – Medication (Pepto Bismol, Imodium, Ibuprofen, etc.)

ACCESSORIES & ELECTRONICS

– Small purse ( Travelon Anti-Theft Signature Slim Pouch ) – it is perfect for travel because it cannot be cut or slashed by thieves and has locking zippers

– Hat ( Blu Bandoo – it has SPF & cooling beads so when you soak it in cold water it keeps you cool for hours)

– GoPro camera

– GoPro Backdoor Floaty (so I can take my GoPro in the water and not worry about it sinking)

ChicoBag (It takes up no room at all because it stuffs into its own tiny pouch and it opens up into a nice, sturdy bag that I find myself using often! It serves many purposes.)

– Point and shoot camera

– Small sweat towel – something I did not bring with me but bought in a department store in Thailand – I was SO happy to have it! I think it is a must when traveling in hot countries. This one is micro cotton – it is super soft and dries quickly.

*Not pictured:

– 13″ Macbook Pro

– iPod Touch

– Chargers for all of my electronics

– Copies of my passport

– Passport-sized photos for visas

– Small notebook & pen

Sea to Summit DryLite travel towel – it dries much quicker than a regular towel

– Luggage locks

– Head lamp

– USB Stick

– My Passport External Hard Drive (I purchased this while on the road)

– 1 universal adapter

*Note: I traveled without a phone. I know I am probably one of the very few travelers without a phone. Many people think I am crazy, but I love the freedom of not being able to be reached and was absolutely fine without it. It is an extra expense I do not need.

Also, there was nothing I didn’t have that I wished I brought with me. However, there was one thing I often wished I could have with me – SLIPPERS! – but it wasn’t realistic (I did not have room for them).
