A quick note:
I’ve done two sets of service posts on The Lost Girls website.
The first is how to pack for a year around the world, including gear that worked for me as a female traveler and some things that I have found indispensable.
I have also written a guest post on The Lost Girls about how to plan for a round-the-world trip, including whether to buy a round-the-world ticket, medical and vaccination planning & the type of insurance that I got. For each section, there are links to books or resources that helped me in my planning process.
Finally, I’ve posted my own updated gear list, modified after 18 months of travel with tips and packing suggestions.
Hope this info is helpful!
