Our Packing List

Here is the packing list that we will use for one year of travel. Every product has an affiliate link to Amazon.nl, if you decide to buy something from this list, please don’t be afraid to use the link from our website – it won’t cost you additional money and we’ll get a small commission which we can spend for a coffee in a new country.  If you have any questions, just let us know!

Backpacks

We spent a long time for backpacks researching, and so far, we don’t regret getting the backpacks that you can see below. Ian had a top-loader for 40+25L and Lena has 50L backpack that opens all the way like a suitcase. In addition, Lena has a 10L day bag from Decathlon, and cross body bag from Uniqlo (the link to a similar bag is below). Ian uses his old 20L backpack as a day bag. 

Travel Electronics

All the electronic items we use for day-to-day travel.

Footwear

In addition to the shoes below, we also each have a pair of flip flops that we use for a beach day or for shower.

Toiletries

These are toiletries that we both use and/or share. In addition to what you see here, we also pack a nail file, nail clippers, toothbrush, tooth paste, lip balm, cream, tweezers, and deoderant.

Enjoy The Detour

Life often takes unexpected turns, leading us down paths we never anticipated. These detours, though unplanned, offer unique experiences and lessons. Embrace them with an open heart and mind. Enjoy the detour, for it may lead you to places more beautiful and fulfilling than you ever imagined.
