(not so) boring stuff

Traveling sometimes gives us lots of work and it needs a lot of preparation.
The most difficult thing was for sure the travel insurance. Either too expensive or not covering enough, I struggled all the time to find a nice insurance that would make me feel comfortable while traveling.
Thanks to Bonsai Viagens in Coimbra, I've managed to find the proper one without killing my bank account.
And well it's never too much, when it gets to thanks to the couple in this travel agency. They were for sure amazing and always helpful in a way I never saw before.
I don't want to spend time writing about boring stuff, but in the end I know that lots of travelers make the same question to themselves. What should I bring with me?

So for the next 6 months I'm packing.

48L Osprey Backpack (pretty amazing I must say)
20L Northface daypack
Duffle bag (for the flights)
Sea to summit compression bag
Packing cube (for underwear etc)

Clothes:
4 T-shirts (one with buttons)
2 long sleeve shirts
1 fleece (New Zealand will be cold)
1 Jack Wolfskin really light rain jacket
1 bandana (wellllll summer in Australia, ouch)
1 scarf
1 pair of quick drying pants
1 pair of shorts
1 pair of swimming shorts
1 pair of jeans (for colder days)
6 pairs of underwear

Gear:
Small netbook
Camera
Cellphone (just in case)
2 Moleskines
1 book (I still need to decide which I will bring)
Chargers, etc etc

There are still some things missing but well I will write everything as soon as I finish packing.

Don't forget some medicines if you are traveling to countries where it won't be easy to find them. Mainly for allergies as you never know what you might be allergic to on a foreign country.
I also bought a small padlock and a small emergency kit. Electrical duct tape it's always useful to fix things, and a small rope will become handy too.

Well but in the end, have fun, and don't forget to keep some things close to you. Passport, money, flight tickets, and most importantly a big smile wherever you go.
