This isn't a very good idea when you are travelling; especially when that travelling takes you cross the globe. So with more than a little help from the wonderful Amy I have compiled a packing list.
If you are looking for inspiration for your own packing, or are just feeling a little nosey, then take a look. Also if you have any suggestions concerning all things long-haul, leave them in the comments below.
Suitcase
Suitcase
- 4 light shirts and trousers (I'm lucky as I'm staying with friends that I will have access to washing machines)
- 5 small reporter notebooks plus pens (I am after all a writer).
- Chargers for my camera, tablet, phone and many more
- Shower supplies and toiletries in clear bottles
- Hat, sandles and other items that will make me stand out as a tourist
- Insect repellent
Hand luggage
- Passport
- Confirmation letters for flight, hotel, directions Etc.
- Itinerary (which Amy is keeping hold of as I'm not to be trusted)
- Notebook
- Tablet
- Headphones
- Phone
- Neck pillow, which may kill my neck more than nothing at all
- Snacks for the plane (the most important part)
I have to admit I am rather proud of my planning. One point I am dreading is the passport check; as I have lost quite a bit of weight since it was taken.
Overall I am super hyped and by the time you have read this I shall be well on my way.
