What to Pack For a Long Trip

There a lot of things to think about when you up-root yourself to travel for a year. Route plans, resigning, getting out of your apartment, all the goodbyes, whats the best platform on which to placate my sports addiction while I’m on the road? But paramount among these and other questions are, what size pack will I use and what can I fit. Here is the of what we take, in our His Packing List and Her Packing List, which is in no way a one size fits all, but perhaps some food for thought on your next backpacking adventure.

We have just a few more days of work before we drop everything and jump on a plane bound for China. But! we hear you say! What made you drop everything? Where are you going? and how long for? and just who are you, you ask? We’ll answer the last one first.
