.<\/span><\/p>\n

I started to travel 14 months ago<\/em> from Perth in Australia. Along my way, I\u2019m always trying to push myself until I find what fulfills me with happiness<\/span>. All these challenges gave me the opportunity to get closer to my personality and my inner voice. My instinct, sense of perception and energy provided me the keys to enter in a new travel dimension. I don\u2019t have to plan something anymore: I can adapt myself instantly to any situation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

In consequence, time and weather doesn\u2019t affect me and can\u2019t stress me. Money has lost a lot of its value (that doesn’t mean this one is useless ^^) and I’m discovering things many times better:\u00a0 meeting new local or foreign people, sharing our stories, helping each other depending our skills and\/or equipment<\/span>. My heart always leads me<\/span> to the people I must meet and with them I learn and build my future for the next day, week, month or year. This epic lifestyle is possible thanks to who I became.<\/p>\n

First with 23 kg and two backpacks, now I\u2019m traveling with only 12kg in a 35L backpack (2.5 litres water pocket, food for lunch and my digital equipment included<\/a><\/strong>) for the next six months. I have left all the things I didn\u2019t need in Jindabyne where I will come back beginning of June.<\/p>\n

Here is all the equipment I carry and how this one is organized in the best backpack<\/strong> I ever had:

Packing and Travel tips:<\/h2>\n

.<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"packing_travel-tips_keep-bag-tidy_worldtour-outdoorexperience\"<\/a>Always optimize the way you organize your stuff to reduce \u201cdead space\u201d<\/span><\/strong>. For instance, you can add in your spare shoes your socks and underwear<\/a><\/strong>: one shoe for the clean ones, the other for the dirty ones.<\/p>\n

In the least accessible pocket<\/span>, put everything you need less than one time a day<\/span>.
\nMoreover you can use a case to keep your bag tidy<\/a><\/strong>. In this one I pack my shavers, bandages, battery charger, spare parts, needles, sewing thread, …<\/p>\n

In the easiest pockets to reach<\/span>, put everything you need more than 3 times a day<\/span>.
\nIt is where I have my cameras, mobile phone, tripod, sunscreen and sunglasses<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always better to carry your rain cover, wind stopper and security equipment (for visibility) in\u00a0 an outside pocket<\/span>. Indeed, you don\u2019t have to open your bag and gets your stuff wet or blown away. You can also protect yourself much faster<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

In the pockets you can access by hands<\/span> without removing your bag, put some money
\n<\/strong><\/span>(in the straps for example) and muesli bars<\/span><\/strong> or energetic food<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Why is it better to travel with Only One bag?<\/h2>\n
