Great list, I have to make a few changes due to the fact I am going on a horseback trip, I really appreciate your suggestions! For me I know I will need something to cover my mouth and nose from dirt and bugs. Thanks again.

I like the “Products to Keep You (and Your Stuff) Safe” tip. I myself always bring a GPS tracking device inside my bag. Always better be safe than sorry.

Great list… but would like to let all the ladies know that China DOES have tampons… they did 15 years ago when i lived there so they surely still do now.

That’s quite an interesting article Matt, and I find it really useful, As a corporate traveller, packing things is literally hectic work, and I am going to follow your tips for my upcoming travels. Hope this parking trick could save some space.

Love this list! I have my own RTW packing list but really enjoy the way your categories are organized. Will be updating mine to be better organized now too. Also comment for Matt is thanks for having female guest bloggers, love that I can get female insights on your site too! Cheers! 🙂

In reply to Corey Samuelss. Well I always bring a load of spare underwear on trips, actually I bring spares for everything! I'm going on a trip in a few days and I think I'll need a bigger suitcase, aha.

I agree with getting bags or purses that block RFID and ones that are almost impossible to cut. You can usually find nice ones on amazon.
I don’t think carrying all those clothes are practical. Less clothes is way more LIFE.

What size of bag do you use? Currently leaving for an 8 month trip, I got a new 38L Gregory backpack. Which I think will be okay but kind of worried it might be too small aha.

Great list and many of the comments are very useful. One item I will add, with all due credit to Rick Steves, is something called a universal sink stopper. It’s a flat piece of rubber, available at any local hardware store, and very helpful since often budget bathroom sinks don’t close well enough for a good hand laundry. As for the socks and underwear debate, I have found that socks can take a very long time to dry, especially in a humid climate and hiking or even just a day of walking, in damp socks can lead to blisters. I take enough good quality socks to always have a clean dry pair, then I use cheap and easily replaceable socks for light walking days. Years ago I invested in a couple of pairs of ex – officio quick dry underpants and have never regretted it. They really do dry completely overnight!

In reply to Jo. Me too! I travel with one in my carry on luggage all the time.
