What should be in your suitcase or backpack before a trip to Australia, South Africa, or a multi-day hike? Are you unsure if you've thought of everything? Then I have compiled my overview for checklists by country, road trips, or hikes.

Packing for your next vacation has never been easier. Just click the appropriate list, print it out, and check off the items. Even I, someone who travels a lot, make a list before every trip so that I don't forget anything.

If you don't want to forget anything on your trip to South Africa, Iceland, or New Zealand, here's your help. I have packing lists for road trips, multi-day hikes, and camping, so you're guaranteed not to forget anything.

Country-specific Packing Lists

Since you need to pack completely different things for Iceland and Australia, I have created separate lists based on my travels to each country. These include notes and tips on what you need for each specific country.

Packing Lists for Hiking

Packing Tips

My travel packing lists are quite extensive, so they include things you might not think of. However, you can confidently cross off a few items if they don't seem essential.

Especially for hikes or backpacking trips, you should consider your preferences regarding clothing and equipment.

Here are some tips on how to pack your suitcase efficiently or what items belong where in your backpack.
