What’s in My Backpack, How To Travel Light

Category: How To,TravelEyeliah

For two weeks in Greece I really didn’t want to bring a ton of stuff, in my backpack I have;

CLOTHING
2 tank tops (white, army green)
2 t-shirts (light blue, navy blue)
1 long sleeve shirt (white floral button up)
1 sweater (red cashmere)
1 shorts (army green)
1 skirt (tie dye blue)
1 dress (cherries)
2 scarfs (sea blue, purple)
4 socks, 4 underwear, 2 bras, 1 yoga pants
1 jacket (black)
1 hat
1 sandals (pictured below)
1 street shoes (adidas)

At the Temple of Poseidon, Cape Soúnio

Just make sure all your pieces can be worn together, they are wrinkle resistant and light to carry. I simply wash a few pieces in the sink every couple of days though there is always a laundromat option in most places as well.

Tunnels and caves in Plakias, Crete

OTHER ITEMS
netbook
waterproof camera
G10 camera
mini toiletries, towel, pillowcase
book
ipod

Avoid bringing expensive, nice things as you’ll just worry, wreck or lose them.  Next time I think I will leave my ipod and computer behind and get a micro fibre travel towel to cut down on weight.  Also if your budget allows most hostels give linen and a towel for 1 euro each for your duration.

What’s in your travel bag?

Crete, Greece

My internet access is now is very off and on but I’m also busy.  I’ve seen the sights of the Acropolis, beached, museumed and hiked up to the Temple of Poseidon in Soúnio and now I am heading to Crete with a couple people from my hostel.  We are hoping to get atvs, maybe rent a car and head to the southwest of the island.  I’d also like to leave a bit of time for Mykonos and/or Santorini on the way back to Athens.

Wish you were here!
