We are each traveling with an Osprey Porter 46 Liter Travel Backpack and we each have one small bag that will serve as a daypack. Inside, we’ve got everything we should need (and probably more than we need) for the next year. We’ve tried our best to pack minimally, but we’re sure we’ve over-packed in a few areas. The pictures below will tell the story of what we’re bringing with us.

The Finished Product
Everything above packed neatly with room to spare
Somehow, all of that stuff neatly fit into our bags with plenty of room to spare. The Osprey bags are amazing and we can’t wait to take them out on the road.
Danielle has also put together a Pitnerest Board that lists most of the items we brought with us.
