What to Pack
We say pack as little as possible for your trip. You only need half as much as you think (but double the money!). The bigger the backpack you buy the more you will be tempted to fill it. Before buying a backpack, write down what you’ll need to pack on your trip. Surprisingly, you will find it is very little. We’ve overpacked and we’ve underpacked but we have learned the essentials you should pack for you trip.
