In or Out: How to Pack for a Month-Long Trip [Flashback]

by Mike Richard

One year ago today, we published Amanda Kendle’s very first post with us here at Vagabondish.com (Happy Anniversary, Amanda!). In it, she advises the best ways to pack for medium-term travel, noting:

A real talent for packing comes from experience, but there are certain truths which all wise backpackers can pass on. I was once the tiny pair of legs sticking out under a backpack filled with almost my whole wardrobe, and I don’t want to put any prospective traveler through this torture unnecessarily.

A full year later, it’s proved a nice – if unintentional prelude – to Nora’s post earlier this week: A Practical Guide to Vagabonding and Long Term Travel (Part 4): Gear Up for Your Journey.
