Travel Resources
In this section I want to put out a few different resources, things that aren’t exactly exciting because they don’t talk about the travel itself but rather the pre-planning and organisation that comes with international and domestic travel.
We’re talking things like: packing lists, insurance, climate guides, vaccinations and anything along those lines.
Packing lists
I will update these periodically and also leave the old ones up so that the evolution of how I travel is documented.
The only reason people write packing lists, myself included, is to try and make money from affiliates. But hey, if you want to see what camera gear I use then it’s all here for you to read along with my reasoning behind each item in the bag.
Everything has a weight and weight is super important when travelling.

Travel Health
I’ve had that many needles that I’ve lost count.

Visa Guides

If you don’t have a valid visa you may not be allowed to board your flight. Of course in countries where you can buy a visa on arrival this will not be an issue.
If you’re from Australia then it might be worth checking out smarttraveller but don’t forget that if you have dual citizenship, your other passport may unlock extra benefits.
