Women on the Road News

Do you ever wonder what to pack in your backpack?

By the time you're finished, is it so heavy you can't lift it?

It really doesn't have to be this way! In my years of backpacking, I've pruned and fine-tuned a Bare Minimum Packing List for Women Backpackers - and I'd like to share it with you.

If something's not on this list, you can leave without it.

Newbies often make the same mistake: lugging far too much useless junk around. You can tell the beginners by their bent backs and the sweat streaks on their clothes.

Do you ask yourself...

• How many clothes should you take?
• Which gadgets will help keep you safe?
• What should go in your first aid kit?
• What you can and can't leave behind?
• Whether to take your driver's licence?

Then subscribe to Women on the Road News (it's free, of course!) and get my Bare Minimum Packing List for women travelers, printable and in handy checklist form. Get this list and pack like a pro.

Each month, I'll provide you with essential travel tips not yet available on the website. Subscribers have learned to:

• Reduce their carbon footprint
• Find cheap and even free accommodation
• Join volunteer programs and travel with a cause
• Stay safe on the road
• Deal with solo travel, relationships or travel burnout - not all at the same time though!

Here's what some readers had to say about Women on the Road News:

"I am considering leaving my high-paying job for a year on the road - sola. I thought maybe I'm crazy for even considering it - especially alone as a woman. Reading this newsletter makes me feel like it's not only possible but normal. I feel much more confident knowing there are other women out there traveling alone and doing it well. It has also given me great ideas and encouragement!"
