Here I have included a comprehensive packing list for my 16-month round the world trip.  Although I bought (and left) some items along the way this was a great way to get me started.  While this list if for a tech-savy guy (digital nomad) my travel partner, Sylvie, can provide better direction for you females.  Please email us if you have any questions.
