The Travel ...
As we all know such a travel needs to be prepare ( for most people ), a long time before, but I’ve decided to give myself one month to be ready for this round the world trip :
Conclusion : Might be a little short, but it is possible here is the proof :
- I am quiting my job, last day of work 17th November 09
- Paris/Tokyo plane ticket bought on the 14th November 09 (decision made the day before after having though about it a lot and checked out if I had enough money, at least for the first 3 first plane tickets and first 3months !).
- I let know everyone on 1st décember 09 that I was about to leave ...
- Plane Take-off scheduled for the 14th décember 09 to Tokyo from Paris CDG via Zurich, just a one way ticket !
The backpack .... The ‘big’question : What do I really need ???
Here again, the opinions are different depending on the people , mostly the opinions of the people that give you their opinion ... :
"What !!! You are only leaving with an 11KG backpack !!! How are you gonna do, you took nothing !
So my answer is that, no, I am not leaving with an empty bag !Not at all ... beleive me , it is really amazing this small and light clothe they sell now in some shops, and it is not that expensive at the end ! And once you roll them and tke out as much air as you can puting them in a Ziploc bag ... it is even morea magic and taking less space !
So a 50 liters backpack and my small backpack for my cameraand I am ready !
Just travelling with the basics though ! And I already think it is too much to carry annyway
1 pairlight trousers
1 Jean ( I know it is heavy and it takes aged to dry ! But I am lost without a pair of jeans, and I was really happy to have it for Japan ! )
1 Bermuda
1 Short
1 Skirt
1 Paréo !
2 swimming suits
1 Micro Polaire
1 Jacket with Polaire inside
1 Pair of walking shoes, sports shoes and one pair of flip flops ( or tongs )
Few things that can always be usefull, as a lamp, a hat, sunscream etc ... You see what I mean, things with utility only .
At the end I am really proud of me because I have almost nothing useless in my bag ( but the useless staff might be bought during my travel ... )
