I've been on the road full time since April of 2022 and I know what works for me. Let me know what's missing and I'll put new lists together! If you want detailed descriptions of what I pack and why be sure to scroll down. These posts contain referral or affiliate links so if you use my links to buy something I can earn a commission. This helps me continue writing and traveling so thank you!
