My Travel Gear

My main backpack is an Osprey Farpoint 40*. Since it’s carry-on size I can really recommend it. Still it seems to me that there is a lot of space, more than in my old backpack that had the same size. The advantage of traveling with carry-on only is that you have 100% control over your stuff. The risk with checked luggage is high that…

• the backpack gets damaged.
• the backpack gets lost.
• you have to wait for a long time at the luggage belt.

My old backpack for example got stuck in the luggage belt at the airport in Tel Aviv and a security guy simply cut it free. So: If possible I fly with carry-on only!

This is what I have in my backpack here in the Dominican Republic:

Clothes

• Zipp-Off Pants Jack Wolfskin* for hiking trips
• one pair of jeans
• two pairs of long pants
• my PROUD NOMAD sweater 
• for pairs of shorts
• nine t-shirts (two of those are PROUD NOMAD)
• four short dresses
• four short jumpsuits (practical and super comfy!)
• a thin scarf
• two bikinis
