What is important on a world around or longterm-trip?
I m often asked this question and my answer is: always less than you think.
Ask yourself at least 3 times, is it really necessary or can I buy it if I really need it on the way. My motto is as little as possible as much as necessary and to be honest we do not need a lot to travel, especially not in tropical or sub-tropical climate regions.
