Packing for a backpacking trip is hard. You are travelling
for an extended period of time, with very limited space. I’m the type of person
who would bring two suitcases to Mexico for a one week trip. You can only
imagine how tough it was for me to figure out what I would bring with me, and
what would be left behind. It felt like every time I looked at my bag it was
getting smaller and smaller.
After an extremely difficult process of elimination, I
managed to decide what clothes and other necessities would come with me to
South America. But what about the extras? Most people are more than likely
going to toss a few other things in their packs that they will either be
extremely grateful for, or resent having to carry around.
Here is a list of
some of the things that either I brought, wish I brought, didn’t need to bring
but glad I did, or looking back, did not need at all.
