How To Pack For Your Travels

Once I decided I was going to take the plunge and head off into the wilderness (go travelling) one of the first questions that popped into my head was…

‘how do I cram 3 months of life into a backpack?!’

Well it wasn’t an easy task. But after extensive research, packing, unpacking and repacking, I feel I nailed it. Here’s a handy little checklist for you:
