How to avoid bank fees while traveling?

You would rather spend your money on travel than give it to your bank, we agree! However, the problem is that many major banks are very happy with the withdrawal fees abroad (yes, even in 2019!!!!).

In Europe we use a lot online Banks when we travel. N26 is one of the market leaders and it will soon be available in the US as well! Get to know more about N26 in our blog post

What should you pack to travel around the world?

After several years of traveling around the world, we now need only 1-2 hours to prepare our backpacks.

However, I can promise you that when we were preparing our round the world trip between 2012 and 2013, we had absolutely no idea what we were going to be able to put in our backpacks and what could be useful on the roads (and that's quite normal since we had never travelled so long with a backpack before).

It must be said that it is a tricky exercise to choose your equipment for a round the world trip. On the one hand, we want to have the gear to face all types of conditions and situations, but on the other hand we are limited by the weight we can carry on our back. So we devoted an entire chapter of our ebook to the essential equipment for a round the world trip. We listed everything we took on the trip (backpack, clothes, equipment, electronics) and commented each time on our opinion of each object after returning from the trip.
