the wander project dispatches from over there

It’s easily one of the top three questions asked of RTW travelers (right after “Why are you doing this?” and “How are you financing this little venture?”): What does one pack for a year-long trip?

So here’s your answer. I’m still editing this list— I’m sure I’ll ditch some stuff (like clothes) and toss in a few odds/ends, but this is pretty much it. Travelers, feel free to offer your suggestions.

Clothing
one pair of travel pants (patagonia continental pants)
three l.s. travel shirts (patagonaia/gramicci/the north face)
two synthetic s.s. T-shirts (patagonia calpilene)
