Chiara and I will need little on our trip to Capri…
…….so we are taking haversacks rather than suitcases!
Packing a haversack (around 30L–40L) for a week requires a minimalist, modular approach. Focus on versatile, quick-dry layers and multi-use items so you can comfortably carry everything on your back.
Here is the essential, time-tested packing list:
Clothing (The 1-2-3 Rule)
1 jacket (lightweight, waterproof, and packable)
2 pairs of bottoms (e.g., one quick-dry hiking/travel pant, one worn on transit)
3 tops (merino wool or synthetic blends that resist odors)
5-6 pairs of underwear and socks (moisture-wicking, merino wool is best)
1 pair of comfortable, versatile walking shoes (worn on transit)
+ 1 pair of compact sandals/flip-flops
Toiletries (Keep it TSA-friendly and minimal)
Travel-sized toothpaste and bamboo toothbrush
Solid shampoo bar (lasts long and won't spill)
Multi-purpose soap (body wash/shave/laundry)
Deodorant and SPF lip balm
Small first-aid kit: blister plasters, ibuprofen, and basic bandages
Gear & Tech
travel adapter and 1 compact multi-port charger
Smartphone and charging cable
Lightweight , packable daypack for daily exploring
Reusable water bottle (collapsible saves space)
Documents & Valuables
Passport , ID, and debit/credit cards
Emergency cash
A pen.
