Packing list for our round the world trip

During our planning and sorting I spent a lot of time looking at other travel bloggers' packing lists to see how much they had with them, what they could fit into their bags and to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything vital.

For this reason I decided if would only be fair to post what we have decided to pack in case it may help some future traveller out there who is hunting for packing list advice!

First aid kit

We've written a more detailed post about  our first aid kit and exactly what we've packed in it so you can check it out to get a bit more information.

Packing cubes make life a lot easier

We packed our clothes, first aid kit and some miscellaneous items into e-bag packing cubes to make things neater in our bags and easier to access. We bought 3 of the medium size and 3 of the assorted long sizes. We love them already and haven't even left yet so would highly recommend them to everyone!! We also bought compression sacs for our underwear and laundry which are great too but we definitely prefer using the packing cubes for our clothes and loose items as they are easier to organise.
