While traveling on our round the world trip, we each carried a single backpack with all our personal belongings. Our packs have seen things. They’ve been dropped, spilled on, kicked and jammed into places where they didn’t fit. Before the trip, we planned out everything we would need. And upon setting off, I was sure that I had figured it out and packed all the right things. But everything seems to change when you start traveling. Planning your flights and travel logistics is just one aspect when setting out on a long trip. Packing is not universal and I realized that one person’s packing list may not work for another. Certainly, two gay guys traveling the world together are not your typical backpackers, but our packing list did not originally reflect that. We realized in the first week of our trip in Mexico City where we went wrong and quickly made some changes. Take a look at the original article I wrote last year with an updated list of every item we packed for our round the world trip. Now nearly a year and a half later, I’ve rounded up a list of the top 10 items we couldn’t live without while traveling.
