For a while now I’ve been bouncing around from country to country and while occasionally, e.g. in Iceland, I don’t have everything I need, it’s usually possible (and in case of Iceland – expensive) to just buy things wherever you are. So I only travel with a Osprey 40L backpack. I’ve been wanting to write a packing list for a while. In it is:
