Packing List For a Round The World Trip

You are going for a trip around the world and you don’t know what to pack because it is your first time, we have curated a list of what to pack for your round-the-world trip.

The general rule when traveling on a round-the-world trip is to pack as light as possible. There is no tie to be picky on what to use and what you can’t use. It is what you have packed you will make do if and that doesn’t mean that you must pack everything.

1. Clothing

It can’t be like your home so it is best to pack as light as possible. Your clothes should be light. Be ready to wash and rewash. Where you can quickly wash it in the hotel, hang it and it dries up before the next day. That is how light your clothes should be.

After packing the light clothes, you can pack some sweatshirts for when you get to the country where it will be cold. A list of the clothes to carry will be listed below:

Short sleeves 3-5

Shorts 2-3

Long pants 2-4

Pair of socks 3

Underwear 5

Pajamas 1

Rain jacket 1

Bra and sports bra 2-3

Swimsuit 1

This list is for a person and it is not an authority, it is just the ideal packing list for a person going on a round the world trip, not the exact list.

2.Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are important for packing your essentials in your bag. They help in organizing how your load should be carried ad how it should fit well. Your backpack is also a determinant of what your packing cubes will be like.
