In the last few months, I have spent hours and hours on the internet, researching what I need and how much of it. I have read countless blogs of past volunteers and was always excited when I came across a packing list. So for all the future volunteers and for all the curious friends and family, here's what is packed up in my backpack, small travel duffel, and daypack.
