It started March 2013 initially ended in July 2014 and continued in 2017. a journey. 5 continents, 23 countries.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Packin' up (1st stage)
So yesterday was a whole day of reorganizing the bedroom and making sure my remaining belongings wouldn't be in the way.
I started throwing out clothes out of my old bags, figuring out what i wanted to carry with me.
Pack light. that's the goal.
I started forcing my sleeping bag in my 60L backpack. then my snow pants. I wasn't really sure at first though if it was practical weight-wise to take that snow pants with me. But I figured Alaska would still be deep in snow and going around in jeans and another layer would be a stupid idea. So yeah, scrap the weight on the shoulder and just pack it up.
I decided to take several layers of Merino with me. Stuff I would use in Canada, Alaska and Tibet. However, i'll be in Europe summer, so my packing was supposed to be a combination of the seasons. Goodluck. it was all singlets, a few blouses and shorts. That was it. I prioritized my cargo/trekking pants over the desire to take another pair of jeans.
Definitely a lot of carabinas to hook stuff on, my light jacket, fleece, socks and undies. Yeah, i can't go without my knives, emergency blanket and fire starter. Some essentials in case I get to the wilderness.
i know i'll still repack.... hmm i haven't considered weight of shower stuff. hmmm plus tying up the camera stand.
maybe i should start doing muscle building exercise... eeek.
I am doomed with the weight. oh and....im carrying a travel guitar too. Luna.
Goodluck to me.
