From June 12th- July 27th I'm going on The Original Contiki Tour! This tour is a camping tour, with a few nights in hostels/cabins. It is 46 days long and visits 21 countries! I've been planning for this trip for over a year and am very excited to be embarking on it soon! While researching about this trip, I found that there was hardly any information online about Contiki's Camping tours. Which makes sense since they only offer 3. So I decided to write down my packing list to help others who may be looking for help of what to pack! In 2015, did a 26-day camping tour across America with a company called Trek America and learnt a lot from that so that's helped me a lot this time around!

I've also done a blog called "The Ulitmate Contiki Survival Guide" which goes into more details about all things Contiki and some tips/advice! If you want to read that blog just click HERE!

Bags-

• Rucksack- I've done trips with a rucksack before and also with a suitcase. There is deff pros and cons to using one over the other however because this is camping tour where we'll be moving around a lot between countries I have decided to go with a rucksack this time. This rucksack is awesome because it opens up like a suitcase, instead of being a top loading rucksack like normal. I've travelled with a top loading rucksack before and it was so bloody frustrating. Never again!
• Carry on Bag- I'm just going to be using a normal backpack for this!
• Daypack/ Shoulder Bag
• Purse/Wallet
• Travel Wallet- I use my Contiki travel wallet because It was free and does everything it needs too in regards to keeping all my tickets, passport etc safe!
