Travel gear wishlist

July 17th, 2008 by Rachel

I am writing this mainly for the benefit of my family as my birthday is coming up and they have started asking me what I want. As I am selling everything in sight that won’t be useful on my trip (except my books), I thought I’d put together this list of ‘nice to have’ items for my packing list.

  • A nice day bag. I have one but it’s only 10 litres and it’s rather too small. I’m thinking something around 25 litres would be more practical.
  • A maglite (purple, obviously)
  • A pen knife
  • Mosquito net
  • some kind of waterproof thing to keep my money in when i go swimming because i don’t trust hotel safes
  • rucksack protector because british airways destroyed my last rucksack. one that looks like a bag, not one of those weird metal cage things
  • travel washing line like this one
  • money for clothes and bits and pieces i want to pick myself

hmm I can’t think of anything else…
