Hi everyone.
Thought I would share my packing list for My trip to Rome coming up in March. Ay tips you have for things i could cut or add and things to do would be appreciated.
So I'm hoping the new Synapse 19 black/Island (absolutely love this colour combo) will be in stock and be delivered to the UK before my trip otherwise I'm taking my Black/Iberiun. I just don't get on with this as much due to the wider strap placement. Now I'm planning on taking just the synapse 19 for 1 week trip. Bit tricky as I will need more formal stuff for nights out but I love the challenge. This will be my first time using hand luggage only for a trip longer than 3 days so I'm newish to the minimalist packing thing.
In the Synapse:
1 pair of icebreaker socks
1 pair of ice breaker boxers
2 pairs of icebreaker tshirts (1 for sleeping in)
1 icebreaker long sleeve shirt
1 pair of black jeans (great for being bit more formal and they are not as heavy as most denim)
Sunglasses
Hydroflask water bottle
Ive got 1 of each stuff sack in solar so I plan to have the clothes in which ever one will fit.
Got a 3d organiser cube with mesh front I keep in the lower pocket this I have My electronics in:
mu folding single plug (these are great for space saving)
Europe travel adapter
pebble battery charger (I usually watch films on my phone on plane so handy to charge my phone at same time)
1 usb Cable
1 Bluetooth speaker (might ditch this as I usually never use it)
Usb stick with copies of all my travel documents & photo copy of passport etc. I don't bother with any paper copies
MBI HF Torch
I have a padded organiser pouch I keep headphones in as well.
1 small stuff sack with toiletries:
Toothbrush
Floss
Hair clay
small tub with some painkillers
(everything else I buy there but some places you stay provide stuff anyway)
Thats it apart from what I will be wearing.
My gf thinks I'm mad haha and she will be taking a big case no doubt. Ill probably end up carrying both so I think thats another reason for packing light
Best changed I've done recently is get the merino wool clothing. Ill be staying at a airbnb so I can always wash stuff if I need to.
Ill be wearing:
Jeans
Icebreaker Tshirt
Black Zipped Hoody (can't afford icebreaker so perhaps next time)
Icebreaker Socks
Icebreaker Boxers
Black Toms (Shoes) these i find I can get away with as smart as well as casual
Watch, phone & Wallet, passport etc
