You've asked many times: "What do we bring in our backpacks when we travel?".
Today, girls, I'm going to show you what I have in my backpack.
Wether it's for 3 weeks, 6 months or even a full year, I pretty much bring the same things.
I always have 2 backpacks:
I have my small day-pack
and my big backpack.
In my daypack, I carry my laptop,
my camera,
my cellphone
and my passport.
So what do I have in my big backpack?
First off, it's a 65L bag.
To be honest, I find it to be a bit too big. A 55L bag would probably be better.
But on the other side, if I need to buy things during my travels, I have spare room for the new items.
Ok, let's take off the rain-cover which I have on my backpack all the time.
It protects my bag.
If it brakes, well, I can just by another one. It's cheaper than having to buy a new backpack!
I always carry hiking shoes
and sandals.
The first thing I have at the top of my bag is all my bathroom stuff.
I keep all the essentials close-by together in my blue pouch.
I always choose the Diva cup when traveling...actually I use it all the time.
It's a lot easier to deal with my period using the Diva Cup.
That way I don't have to buy and carry tampons and pads all the time.
I carry all of my underwear in a small laundry bag.
That way, if I need to wash delicates, I can put them in this bag and throw it the washing machine.
I always carry my big scarf!
I always keep it close when going from one destination to an other
because I never know if i'll be in a bus with too much AC and be very cold.
So I can either us this as a scarf
or like a cover to shield me from the cold.
I also carry this small bag just in case I want to go for a walk in town or whatever
and don't want to bring a big backpack. It's only to carry one or two things.
So I bring this very light back wherever I go.
My hat.
My rain coat which is also a windbreaker jacket.
So I can wear this when it's cold or when it rains.
We never know when it's going to be cold...even in warmer countries!
This is new.
It's an extension cord.
It saves my life!
I have 3 spots to charge my devices.
Often times, in Hostels, there's only one or two power outlets that are available
and we always have 4-5 things to charge.
This is a must.
Peanut butter!
For a quick breakfast.
Light 10L compression bag.
I put my dirty clothes in here.
I can compress it and it doesn't take much space in my bag.
Also, the odour will be trapped in.
Bug repellant and sunscreen.
Very important. I also recommend that you buy your sunscreen before leaving Canada as it will
probably be cheaper than if you buy it in the country your visiting.
Ok, this is an empty plastic bag.
But there's always a time during my trip that I need a plastic bag.
I often pick them up as I go.
It's very convenient if you have shampoo or soap bottles.
Sometimes they can open in your bag while you're moving around
So, travel tip, carry all your liquids in a plastic bag.
Clothes. I have too much clothes.
1 pyjama
1 sport kit
4 tank tops
long pants
dress and jumper
long sleeve shirts
long sleeve shirt and long sleeve pants made of Merino wool.
These dry super quick!
They also don't smell. This means that if I'm doing something that makes me sweat a lot
or if it's cold outside
I can wear this.
I also have a buff that I use as
a hat
or as a neck cover if it's cold.
I also have 2 pairs of shorts and 2 t-shirts.
The other pair is what I'm wearing right now.
Large compression bag.
I split my backpack in 2:
Section #1 is my everyday clothes
and section #2 is everything I might use at some point in my trip.
That way, it doesn't take up a lot of space in my bag.
In this section, it's usually my winter clothes.
All my summer clothes is easily accessible
and all my clothes for colder weather is in my compression bag.
Winter hat and small gloves!
You never know when it's going to be cold and when you'll need a hat.
I like to keep my head and ears warm when it's cold.
Feather coat!
You can pack it up in a small ball... doesn't take a lot of space!
It saves my life when it's cold.
I'm now ready for winter with my hat, my gloves and my coat.
I often use my coat as a pillow.
I roll it in a ball, and if i'm sleeping somewhere that doesn't have a pillow
I can use my coat as a pillow.
I also bring a pair of jeans. There's always a time when it's a little cooler and jeans are great to have.
In here, it's my little electronics kit.
It's small little random things that I carry with me. I put in a plastic bag to protect it from water.
I have an international adapter
A USB key
A pen. Very useful for the plane. There's always a form we need to fill out.
A USB charger
Spare batteries for my head lamp
My camera charger
and ducktape!
There's always something that's going to break so now, you can fix it!
Towels. I always carry 2 sizes:
A large towel for the beach
and a small towel for the shower.
I carry two because if you use your towel for the beach, then it gets dirty and you can't use it for the shower.
And if I didn't go to the beach, then I use the big one to dry myself after a shower
and the small towel to dry my hair.
Bathing suits.
Sometimes I bring two, sometimes I bring 3.
For this trip I brought 3.
A nice pair of sandals that I can wear in town so that I don't always look like a backpacker.
Usually I have a pair of Crocs. That way I have "shoes" that cover my whole feet.
Practical if I don't feel like wearing my hiking shoes
but too cold to wear my flip-flops.
I have a secret pocket.
I won't show it to you because it's secret.
This is where I keep copies of my passport
or my vaccination card.
I always bring it with me
because I never know when I might need it, especially if i'm going from one country to the next.
I also carry a small wallet
in which I keep a bit of US dollars.
Just in case I might need it.
I really don't carry a lot. But at least I have some in case of an emergency.
Sunglasses, obviously.
I always bring a book that I keep in a plastic bag.
Honestly, I don't read a lot, but i'm always happy to have one when I feel like reading.
Head lamp.
Sometimes, when you're staying in a dorm with other people, and you need to find things in your backpack
you can use this instead of turning on the light in the room
and disturbing everyone sleeping.
A small padlock.
It's important that it's small. Sometimes, depending on the hostel you're staying in,
the wholes on the lockers in the room are really small.
If you only have the "school padlocks"
it won't fit.
So this size is perfect and keeps your personal belongings safe.
Carabiner.
I always hook one on the front of my backpack.
If ever I take my shower in the morning and have to leave the hostel for the next destination,
I can't put my towel back in my backpack
because it won't dry well (and stink).
With the carabiner, I can hook on the outside of my bag.
If I want to change quickly between my flip-flops and hiking shoes
I can hook my footwear on the outside of my bag.
There you go! That's what's in my backpack!
I created a list of all the things I mentioned in the video
to help you pack for your next trip!
if you think of other things that are useful for you,
write it in the description below so that we can share the info if everyone!
See you guys next time, ciao!
The first time I saw Spider-Man, I had to try it.
Even now, at 27, I still try it sometimes.
