- This is how to pack for an endless backpacking trip around the world. If you plan to travel indefinitely and don't have an end date to your travels, you might find it difficult to pack a backpack, or even find a backpack to use for this type of trip. But I have traveled this way many times and found the perfect travel backpack and the right things to pack and bring with you on your journey. Watch this video to find out what to pack, how to pack, how to pick out a backpack, and how to travel longer, happier, better.

@alexandertravelbum Hey, I really like the Herschel daypack you showed as well. Do you mind posting a link to where I can purchase that online as well?
Here it is: amzn.to/2VZEZqv
Hey sorry man, I never saw this comment. I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now? Probably no use in me finding the link. Let me know though
@@AlexanderTravelbum yes can you show the link for the daypack as well? thankss
Philip Thompson did you ever find which bag it is?
Good tips bro...my wife and I travelled for 14 months and hit 23 countries using those strategies, happy travels!!!
Devon McGettrick thanks man, glad to hear you got to do the longterm travel thing!
Now we are working on our next long-term travel plans...the Americas, working on our ambulance conversion now!
Devon McGettrick how did the conversion go?
@@kernow2619 fuck up
Hw u guys travel wifout thinking of ur work n cashflow?
I love how honest he is being about wearing stuff several times without washing, lol.
Don't most people wear things multiple times before washing? haha
Not wearing UNDERWEAR for several days though.
@@dw9463 maybe it’s fine for like to days but after that…
Underwear takes up like no space I’m sure the dude could easily take like 7 pairs and not have to re-wear the same pair for multiple days
@@dw9463 ye idk about that one xD
I’m in my senior year of high school and I’m planing to do this when I graduate
how did it go
@@baljeet7217 We didn't graduate yet and who knows how it'll work with corona
I do too but when I graduate uni. But I wanna backpack Germany for two weeks
Miguel Solis yoooo me too😱
I was going to go to Thailand for 2 months in may but couldn’t cause of the virus
Good suggestions. I’d also add i) sun screen ii) a few band-aids and antiseptic cream iii) small pack travel tissues iv) nail clippers
I like packing some silk clothes- silk is extremely lightweight, very comfortable, looks great and is easily washed and dried in a hotel.
I'm not sure if you mentioned it or not, but don't forget to bring a working ball point pen for filling out customs & landing documents prior to arrival. BTW - Awesome video/list... we think alike !
Joe Saltzman thank you, yes that is true. always bring the pens

never under estimate the power of golf pencils. Make great gifts. Burn well to start a fire, and you can even write with them.
@@MoonbeameSmith -- LOL...well I certainly can't disagree with that!
Don't ever go anywhere without at least one very warm fleece, hoodie or even light jumper, as when that sun goes down or weather turns it will be worth it's weight in gold.

1st time traveler here. I'm planning out a Portugal/Spain trip and this video has seriously helped. Thank you for this incredibly informative video!!
Awesome, that’s what I like to hear! I’m happy to have helped; thanks for watching my video ✊🏻
Man glad To see I’m the only person who does this. People are shocked when I tell them I only take my pack pack. The ease of traveling light is awesome. Will NEVER go back to suitcases.
Consider getting an inflatable pillow as well and moisture wicking clothings if you'd travel in the tropics. Plus add some sunscreen, insect repellents, dry bags and arm sleeves, universal plug adapter and handy organizers if you don't want to carry daybag. Consider getting sleeping bag sleeves if you're a backpacker and stay at cheap motels in countries like Thailand and Vietnam. And never forget to bring fisrt aid kits, meds for headache, allergies, tummy aches, colds and cough. Bring rollable water packs, travel sleeping bags, travel utensils and extra TSA locks.
Always use and bring waterproof boots or shoes too like the palladium pampa lite+, columbia or salomon. Always bring candies too like tic tacs for quick fresh breath.
What to bring if you are planning on travelling indefinitely:
Item 1: *money*
Work for it abroad/door dash if you’re in US would be good options
To work abroad dont you have to be a resident or have a visa?
@@tylerworldasmr8367 your not exactly want to deliver food through the night on a holiday
I never knew there is a travel towel & I've been carrying my bulky towel for all my past travels. Good thing I was able to watch this vid of yours. Thanks 👍
Been watching a lot of these and while you're no angel and there's obvious shilling going on, this is one of the most honest videos out there. Props.
Oh wow! It’s amazing taking just that! Cheaps flights see you soon!
Try merino wool t shirts and button downs. They are good for all seasons, never smell and you can half the amount of shirts that you’re bringing.
Hi Alex, I am an older lady and want to learn to travel alone. I really love your videos. Thank You for all the helpful videos. You are a great guy. May you be blessed.
Thanks so much, I appreciate that and I hope you do get to travel. Solo travel is great and you can really learn a lot about yourself and the world when you’re at it alone. Good luck!
Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻
A true minimalist, great job!
Incredible content, brother. Thanks for the tips.
Love the lets put em on move!
Perfect video man, just what I wanted
You’re a pro!! I always overpack 🙈 gonna keep your tips in mind!
Thanks! One of the best packing videos I've seen. Really helps!!!
Truly amazing video! Thanks for the tips!
been watching a lot of similar videos of this topic and yours is one of the best! Thank you! :-)
Thanks so much! That’s awesome to hear
We also started to travel around the world! thanks for sharing and for the inspiration! you are great :)
One's you said free, I loved your video. Very convenient accessories. Thank you!
Awesome video. Not many men do very informative what's in my bag or what I pack videos. Well done!
Thanks mate. I tried
You explain things so well. This was helpful. Thank you!
🙏🏻
Alex, thank you veeery much! Your content is really helpful! I hope to see more of it because you make backpacking so much lighter for beginners! Greetings from Germany!
🙏🏻🙏🏻than you!
Best advice! Thanks!
Dopeeee, thank you so much!
You're the man MAN, ty
I used this for a writing assignment but this is awesome
I love how practical your approach in packing. :)
Useful and honest advice! Thanks a lot.
Great vid alex. Packing is key to any travel adventure!
Eric Ventures thanks man, definitely! Especially backpacking
And that is all you take for a trip around the world? Awesome.
On Saturday I am going to France for 3 weeks to yoga retreat, so no travelling much and I think I have reduced everything to the minimum but still have the feeling that it is too much. Maybe it is because it seems bulky, not sure.
What an inspiration! I wish I had always tried to travel like this. I always carried so damn much... packing light is awesome.
Ah yes, the towel,
“…it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you - daft as a bush, but very, very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.”
-Douglas Adams, "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy"
Luka Ciric nice
Oh I got to buy this guy a drink. What will it be. 3 pints of bitters and some peanuts ? Or would you care to join me in a pan galactic gargle blaster?
Ha ha I was waiting for this comment :))))
Wow... Hats off... Great job, Man!
Kudos
nice video. love that backpack! We have been rving nine years so minimal is normal. LOL love the microfiber towel, I actually don't have one like that. Happy travels :-)
this content was very helpful thank you
Flip flops in Hostel showers are a MUST. I caught athletes foot while backpacking hawaii. It got in my surfing wounds and cost me a few hikes.
So informal and knowledgeable !
Absolutely love your video man!
Thanks mate ✊🏻
Great video man. New subscriber...
Appreciate the detailed explanation of each item. The best tip for me was the clothing. I tend to overpack clothes.
Great advices ! thanx!!
Sink stopper is a great idea! I've not seen that before! Thanks
Thanks! Glad to give some new ideas ✊🏻
That sink stopper is a real great idea; not all hotels have a stopper or, you may also want to use foldable plastic-lined fabric bucket, it will allow you to soak soiled cloth and free your sink.
I have never seen this one before! Keep up your good work!
Very wise ideas; I especially liked hearing about a the "travel towel" which I never knew existed. Thanks.
Many thanks for sharing..awsome!!
Quite helpful.
Great video , thanks!!
Thanks for your comment ✊🏻✊🏻
Thank you brotha!!!
Never would have thought if a sink plug. The entire video was great, but that too right there - gold!
Thank you, glad to help!
Great tips, thanks! (I always carry a Buff, very useful whatever the weather it is)
And a tactical pen.
Thanks Alexander ! Headed to Peru for two months this is my first time leaving like this your list really made sense to me I'm trusting your advice cheers and thank you great video
how did it go?
Thanks for great tips
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment ✊🏻
Excellent, really helpful!!
*great tips*
Great tips! I also usually include a small first aid kit (band aids, alcohol wipes, gauze), a small repair kit (zip ties, duct tape, twine/rope/straps), and a headlamp (so I don't waste phone battery on light). If you're sticking to cities, maybe you don't need some of this (or can buy enroute) but I like more remote locations so tend to be a bit more self-reliant. Great video though! I'm subscribing!
My old travel buddy is a hand crank emergency AM/FM/SW radio with regular white lamp, red emergency lamp and siren. I can charge the phone battery with it if I have to.
Someone already mentioned duct tape/small 1st aid kit. Very good ideas too.
I also carry twine and a pocket knife, like the good sailor I was.
One advantage of being a middle aged man is that I don't care so much what others think about me anymore. Track suits are good travel clothing. I wear crocs too.
Finally, I carry my black leather gloves.
this was so helpful! Thankyou. I have a question. Do you leave your travel backpack at the hotel/hostel and just bring your day-bag out to places?
Hi Alex, great video! Where did you get your leather boots?
Just received my Shell backpack from Tropicfell.....Haven't travelled with it yet but looks great...Have a look.
Great advice.
Thanks.
This is great. Thank you. I am a bit too old to backpack, but I am a traveller that somehow remind of a backpack the way I travel. Your videos are great. Why did you sto? At home I guess? But anyhow, going to Italy soon and that is how I found your channel. And again thanx for the very informative videos on travelling.
great tips in the video and the comments :-)
Is that for real everything you own?! I’m impressed!!
Best video on minimum packing..simple. All the very best buddy.
Thank you man 🙏🏻
Great vdo and i just finnished fliming best hostel in Fullmoon Party beach Koh Phangan Thailand and your channel is amazing
nice video and helpful tips
Thank you! Hope it helps
love your style also and love the tips! btw where did you get those boots? as for your camera, do you just carry it with you hands then?
Thank man! Appreciate it. I get my boots at thrift stores so they’re probably from the 70s or something ha, not sure the brands. That or Doc Martens. I actually have a camera wrist strap, so my camera is in my hand, but it’s held there by this cool strap of leather. That way I always have it ready. It’s in my amazon shop with everything else if you’re interested, linked below the video
@@AlexanderTravelbum thank you sm. will def check it out!
First off, thank you a bunch; this video rocks. Would there be any sort of Fanny packs or money belts you would suggest?
Thanks again, awesome vid.
Great this how I’ve traveled on my China trips minimalist
Good tips
Great video thank you. Your favourite backpack & the one is the video is different so which one would you really recommend
Probably the one in the video but he makes money off promoting the one on amazon hahaha!
thanks for the tips, as i am from a tropical country, just wonder if you need to go to cold country, how do you back those winter clothings?
Consider getting anti theft backpack too like the xd design the one that has anti rfid or the osprey daypack. I have been using them in my travels in SE Asia and they're just amazing
I would add a small first aid kit, water bottle and a shallow flat tupperware with cutlery (a spork will do but l like one proper set).
I use a buff as eye mask and ear muffler, ear plugs inside it if need be. When not used the buff sits around my neck whilst l am sleeping and it can be pulled up if someone starts waving a torch around.
Zipper pants are always a very handy thing wich I always have on travels to ;))
I really liked that day pack that you showed in the video but you don't have it linked anywhere :/
Yay
Nice tip👌
Im traveling since 12 years and now I dropped all my stuff and carry just 40L backpack 🎒👍🏻
Hey mate any idea of the general weight that the bag comes too with everything packed?
Question, was the total weight of all that? Good to know if I need to ditch something during my final pack due to weight restrictions for carry ons for Airplanes etc
Great video. Do you have a link or name for the boots? Thanks.
Great tips! Shouldn’t need more than that unless you’re camping.
TravelBuni oh yeah that’s true
Great video👏👍! I have a Swissgear 31L backpack; and it works great. I am planning to resume my travels abroad when the pandemic subsidies🤞🤞; and I intend to use this backpack. Have you thought about purchasing some compressed towels? They are lightweight , biodegradable, and inexpensive. They can be purchased on Amazon👍. Again, great video.👍👏 God Bless.
So looking at living day to day desiding where to go as and when so not just Europe.
Should u say the bag you use in this video is best or the one in the description.
Cool!
Get the Scrubba for washing clothes. Its awesome. Also get a paperwallet for light everyday card carry etc. Otherwise you're on point.
Oh, and buy merino wool t-shirts (3 days wear), and its possible to get good looking hybrid shorts/swimshorts.
Thanks for the tips, Scrubba is great
This video was perfect! one question though!! Where do you put your DSLR?? is there any space in your bag to put the camera or do you had a separate small carrying case?
I made a video about that too, I am usually carrying it but I put it in a case in my day bag most of the time. I think I go over it in this video

great vids. do you think a sleeping bag liner is needed for hostels? to use as a clean sheet and bug protection.
Hey, it’s not needed. If you have one, could be nice, but most hostels will have clean sheets and bed bugs aren’t as common as you’d think. After staying in hundreds of hostels over 5 years, I got bed bug bites once
@@AlexanderTravelbum great info. thanks! 😀
Curious to know what kind of boots those are and where you got them.
