The longest I’ve ever packed for is a 2 week vacation in undergrad. Packing for 12 months is a bit of a different animal all together. The two biggest sources I’ve used are Village to Village Guide for Camino De Santiago and The Professional Hobo: Ultimate Packing List for Full-Time Travel. I tend to lean pretty heavily on my space for balance, so here’s what I’m packing (and potentially need to replace):
