Packing Lists: Pack light!

  • Luggage And Bags: I took a simple backpack over to London and Dublin, and i tell you what, i STRUGGLED. Carrying 30 kg in the tubes and around London wasnt my idea of fun!! Pack light!! Something i wasnt very good at!!

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A comfortable pair of sneakers are a definate essential..I was too worried about looking good over comfort, which really screwed me in the end! Of course depending on what time of the year you go you will know what is suitable. I went in summer, and London was just sticky and hot...So obviously opt for light clothing! And a few jerseys and pants for colder nights!

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Some face cloths will help with sticky weather, a instant refresher. Something small, but can make you feel like a million bucks more!!

    Photo Equipment: There is much to photograph around London..I didnt take much photos as i got sick of sightseeing by myself pretty quickly. But i could have easily taken 4 films in a day! So really stock up, its well worth it and something fun to reflect back on!!!

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: I lived in with friends for free!

    Miscellaneous: I really dont suggest going on the tubes with so much packs, i really struggled, it was quite embarassing being picked up off the floor after falling over face first because my bags were so heavy for my body!! Every hour in London, is rush hour!!!
