Packing for long-term travel can be challenging. It’s hard to predict what you’ll need if you’re visiting multiple places for an extended period. While it’s an amazing feeling to have everything you need in a backpack while traveling long term, it can also be a battle to make everything fit!
That’s why I’ve drawn from my own experiences to put together this long-term travel packing list. Also, you’ll find sections on what to wear during long-term travel, what NOT to bring, and FAQ answers.
While you’ll want to pack light, you also need to make sure you’re prepared for anything and have everything you need to feel safe, refreshed, and comfortable, wherever in the world you end up.
