On my way again

Well, I guess most of you already know I'm leaving Europe again and those that didn't know should have guessed so from my previous posts. I don't write this stuff meaningless, you know!

Tomorrow I'll leave for Buenos Aires. This trip will include no working whatsoever. I'll travel Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and maybe a part of Brasil during 5-?? months. Well, that's the plan as it is, but knowing myself, I guess I might change the master plan on the road.

What do I take along on such a trip, bearing in mind I have to carry everything and that I hate carrying stuff!

Underwear for a week! Nothing absolutely bad can happen if you're wearing clean underwear, a wise man once said.
A full-proof, self-tested water resistant and wind stopping rain coat
A map of South-America and the rough guide to Argentina. I'll try to swith the book going from country to country.
I found this eeny-meeny light in Decathlon!
Lightweight sleeping bag that's supposed to keep me warm 'till 0-5 degrees. I'm a bit sceptical about their coception of warm and mine being the same , but I guess I'll survive
My foot wear for the following months.. probably the most depressing about the packing part. Damn, I love wearing leather boots!!
The greenies are my new walking shoes (I don't believe in 2kilo hiking boots). Water proof which also means hot and sweaty when it's warm hence the next item:
The black sneakers are loyal travel companions though. They've been with me in Guatemala, Honduras, Morocco, Italy, Spain, Estonia, Latvia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and I'm probably forgetting some. Let's see if they survive.
My Dominican flipflops. I did Cuba with them

I won't only be travelling exotic places... Patagonia, Andes, temperatures can be cold... Thermic underwear... also very fashion... And - thanks to my lovely friends- foot and hand warmers! Something I didn't know about but some female friends bought for me.
Same great friends.... These are very light and very warm!
Aaah! even more important than the underwear! My music! and a USB charger as I'll be traveling laptop-less.
2 pair of trousers, only 1 jeans.
2 skirts, 2 shorts
6 t-shirts of which i forgot to make a picture.
A tip for travelers! Take along a pareo. Very light, good to ly on the beach, you make skirt/t-shirts/scarfs out of it.
Next depressing thing... Girly stuff tends to weigh a lot si keep it to a minimum! Check out the doble set of lip balm which I got from 2 female friends. I guess something should become clear to me by now.
Ah, shampoo, body lotion and soap are missing on the picture and are pissing me off for being so heavy..

All resulting in a little more weight than I was hoping for, but I guess it's still quite ok... This excludes the clothes I'm wearing which is winter stuff. Well I'll see what I toss away first. My guess is the body lotion but all bets are open. Feel free to comment!
