🎒 PACKING LIST
It took a significant effort to plan the packing list, especially as I had decided to bring all my photography equipment.
But at the end of the day, it was so worth it — as we had close to zero useless items with us — and survived through all the adventures with ease. Not a single item was stolen or lost during six months!
My bigger backpack was Fjällräven Kajka (75 liters) & the smaller camera backpack was Shimoda Action X30 (30 liters). Warm recommendations for both, they absolutely nailed it.
Riikka’s larger backpack was Deuter Aircontact (60 liters) & the smaller front bag was Särmä Rynnäkköreppu (20 liters).
My favourite piece of gear was a modified travel vest from The North Face, which I used almost every day to keep the pickpockets away.
If you want to dive deeper into this stuff, just reach out to me. Below, there’s a photo of all the gear we packed. On the go, we purchased snorkeling gear and a couple of souvenirs.
