Backpacking Around the World - What to Pack!

One of the more difficult things when preparing to travel around the world is deciding on what to bring! It's important that you speak to various friends, colleagues and acquaintances that have travelled around the world before you.

They'll be able to let you know some of the more critical items that'll need to be brought. Before my big trip around the world, my mother advised me to take anti diarrhea medication. Thankfully I took the medication with me, because boy, did I need it.

When you travel to different parts of the world you come into contact with bugs and viruses that you're not used to, and because of that, you're more likely to get sick and thus have diarrhea at some point. Toilet paper is also another essential item, having a few backup rolls can be of great assistance when you're in the middle of china, standing next to a hole.

The best thing you can do before you leave is to do some research also. Travel forums will host a heap of information and this information will be able to guide you into deciding what to bring and what not to bring, there are a few more essentials such as toilet paper and anti diarrhea medication, so keep on the look out!

Other than talking to friends and family and doing the relevant research on the internet there really isn't much else you can do to prepare yourself. As long as you take the smart advice and prepare yourself mentally for any eventuality, you will be fine!
