Free Summer Packing List
You have planned an amazing adventure and want to start collecting the items you will need to make it happen. Developing a packing list can be a somewhat stressful experience, especially if you have not been on a trip of this type or size before.
Who is this Packing List for?
This packing list is my basic starting point for all of my travels. So it is everything I could want while backpacking. Which means it is geared toward females who’s trips include some city breaks, some active components, and some down time.
How do I use this list?
I usually go through the list and eliminate items that are not necessary for that particular trip. Then I gradually scale down my items until they fit nicely in my bag with a little extra room (for things I may pick up on the way).
If you are new to the world of backpacking, a good rule of thumb is to lay out what you think you should bring and then cut it in half. If you leave behind an item that you later regret, remember that you are most likely going to be able to purchase it while on your travels.
So all in all,
Start by packing what you cannot live without.
Then pack anything you may not be able to purchase later.
Finally, if you have room you can add in some other more luxury items.
Keep in mind that you want your bag to stay under 25 lbs (about 11 kg).
