World Tour Packing List 2021

Image Source

In February 2021, my boyfriend and I decided to embrace a radical change in our lives. We left out an apartment in Miami, returned our cars, quit our 9–5 jobs, said goodbye to our families, and took off on a world trip.

Our plan is to travel around Europe and the Middle East for the next 9 months. We expect to visit family and friends in November, and they come back through Asia and travel for a few more months.

However, the truth is, we are letting things flow at their own course. We are willing to go wherever life takes us — So I will keep you updated as we go.

Considering the constant traveling, though, the packing situation has been constrained to one suitcase and one carry-on per person. As a woman, you can only imagine that condensing your life into one piece of luggage is not an easy task.

I packed and repacked for a whole week — about 4 times. I read many packing lists articles and advice from travelers, which was helpful but not completely adaptable to my situation. I tried different packing methods, like the travel compression bags, folding, packing cubes, but none of those worked for me. The most effective method was without a doubt “rolling”.

Yet, the best lesson that I learned during my packing experience was:

The key to travel and pack effectively is simplicity.

After a month of living in Granada (our first destination), I will determine whether I did a good job with this packing list. Thus, expect updates.
