Packing Tips-backpack-Mexico-netherlands_mexico_decoration_home

Tomorrow is the day. This time I get to set foot on a plane back to my beloved Mexico. I will travel for 5 weeks together with Le boyfriend and preferably with the least weight necessary on our backs. Over all, we don’t want to feel like pack animals. But what do you actually take with you when you take off for such a trip?

Here is my Female packing list

Let me know if you think anything is missing or even overrated 🙂

What do you think about my travel gear?

About Renate Rigters

Ever since I left my home country I felt at home at any other place I went to. I enjoy getting to know more cultures by talking to strangers and hearing their philosophy about life. Speaking with gestures when you can not find a shared language, finding places only the locals go to and learn about their customs and values. Hanging out with local people makes me happy. The experience of every new place is a step out of your comfort zone where I like to wander around until it feels like a second home.
