This is a question we are constantly asking ourselves and working out answers for. In our travels we will encounter everything from tropical weather to below freezing, tropical downpour to heavy snows. How can we travel light and still have all the necessary clothes for these different weather conditions and locations?

This is how we looked when we forgot to pack proper raincoats!

The disposable raincoats we were wearing didn’t seem to work. It’s better to dispose them BEFORE wearing

Oh yeah, the tired look on our faces, that’s from the 6am flight not the rain

Another thing we have to take into consideration is what equipment to bring with us. We’ve already outlined most of our mobile office in this post. But since then we’ve realized we need another notebook computer.

We want something very light (as close to 1kg as possible), but we also don’t want to spend too much on it since we’ll be staying in so many places that the possibility of it getting stolen increases. We’ve seen some nice ones under 1kg, but the keyboard and screen are too small for Grace to work effectively on them.

Many people have suggested we take backpacks with us instead of suitcases. That seems like a good idea, but to fit clothes for cold and hot weather into a couple of backpacks and make sure that the one Grace is carrying doesn’t break her back is a lot more complicated

So what are we taking with us and how are we going to pack it? Well, we’re still not sure yet, we’re definitely taking a couple of warm jackets each, some all weather pants, and plenty of other clothes in between, and we’ll make sure to post a video of our beautifully packed suitcases… or not
