True Minimalist (Packing Recs)

A packing list for those looking to go "full on" minimalist...

Must-Haves:

• Passport and ID

• Bank/credit card (or lots of cash)

• One or two pairs of clothes (hopefully weather-appropriate)

• Cheap generic shoes or sandals

• Cell phone, headphones, chargers

• A small bag or backpack (or plastic bag)

Optional Add-ons/Upgrades:

• A small bag or backpack

• Third pair of clothes (crazy I know)

• Sink stopper for washing clothes (if you're not doing it in the shower)..

• Paracord for hanging/drying clothes

• Padlock for hotel/hostel lockers

• Universal travel adapter

• Towel (maybe)

Pros

• Near complete freedom from worry or attachment to things

• Everything is replaceable at minimal cost

Cons

• Limited to warm/hot climates (doesn't sound too bad, does it?)

• Ideally need to wash one set of clothes daily at a minimum
