Preparation for the trip

Only take the bare essentials. - Most countries have anything you want at cheaper prices. Important items include: your personal identification, passports, bank cards, medicine and good shoes. The rest you can get anywhere - or do without. If you overpack you'll be dumping once you get to your destination - and counting the wasted money you spent on expensive mosquito nets!

Toiletries:
sewing and medical kit, sleeping bag, tweezers, scissors, razors, small mirror, towel, toilet paper and toilet stuff!, mosquito repellent and anti-malaria tablets, sunscreen and lip protection, bandanna, plastic bags.

Clothes:
1 pair of combats, 4 pairs of socks, 3 long sleeved T-Shirts (cover elbows in M. East), shorts, 2 light dresses, 2 light trousers, warm fleece, swim suit, underwear, hiking boots, sandals, money belt, day pack, duvet cover / sheet,

Other:
torch, padlocks for bags, diary & pen, swiss army knife, photocopies of all documentation, international drivers license, visa and bank cards, address book, good big book, camera & film.
