Packing List

Last Updated 12/04/17

All our stuff for 5 months in South America!

The Tech

Tech changes so quickly, it's hard to keep this section up-to-date. Since our trip in 2012, the site Wirecutter launched. I highly recommend and trust their reviews. They have a great resource in: https://thewirecutter.com/travel/
Tip: Ask yourself -- do you need the best option or would the prior or budget pick be fine?

Here's what we traveled with in 2012 (with 2012 prices), I don't recommend the specific items below, but these are still the right categories. 
Tip: You'll need to decide if you wan a smartphone or a dumb phone + camera.
  • Backpack: REI Grand Tour 85 Travel Pack $199
  • Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 $150
  • ereader: Nook Simpletouch e-reader $80
