How can you possibly pack for over two years on the road with only a single backpack each? Impossible, right? Well, we were faced with that difficult task and did quite well. We will discuss all of the items that made the final cut; from clothing to organizers to toiletries. We also answer a couple of follower questions on the luxuries we miss the most while traveling and what it is like to spend 24/7 together as a couple. Yes, it can be a bit much at times, but in the end, we love it. Enjoy!
Main Topics Covered:
What we packed for our two+ years of travel
Q&A – Luxuries we miss the most
Q&A – The difficulty of spending so much time together as a couple

Safe Travels!
This one was really enjoyable, because i can’t imagine what or how I would manage with one backpack! I may even look up some of the products and I will not be traveling long term any time soon. I also found your comments on being together all the time interesting. Since we are retired, we spend a lot of time together and know how that can be a challenge.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. The single backpack can be freeing and challenging at the same time. I’m sure you could figure it out if needed 😉 A bunch of time with anyone can be tough…glad I love her so much.
