My Packing List

Written By Hannah Keitel

What I’m bringing for 6-months abroad.

While the first 2 months of my trip will be spent at the farm in Northern India, the remaining months are very roughly outlined — with current intentions to spend time in Nepal and Bali.

I will be traveling from March 1st through (likely) the end of August, meeting the end of winter in Northern India and encroaching on monsoon season in much of Asia starting in June. So I’ve kept the change in climate in mind as I continue my travels, and also know that I will largely be needing loose-fitting, lightweight clothing that dry quickly and provide necessary coverage for traveling through countries that dress more conservatively.

I’ve packed 1 pair of shoes that will be good for any kind of trekking, 1 thermal layer and 1 fleece jacket in preparation for visiting Nepal.

I’ve also packed a few layers of snacks, supplemental proteins (justttt in case), electrolyte packets, and some of my favorite GoMacro bars. And I’ve created my own version of a homeopathic first aid kit with added supplements for immune support.
