Fitness while backpacking

[EvDizzle]

This summer I have a great treat in store for myself...a huge backpacking trip through Greece, Turkey and Spain!

I'll be satisfying my wanderlust from June 17th - July 28th, it'll be an awesome way to wrap up my year working in europe.

Since I've been going hard at the gym, I've gained close to 10 pounds of lean muscle without gaining fat in the last 5 months or so. It's been a battle! It seems like a lofty goal while traveling, but I would really like to maintain that muscle gain, even cut a little bit of fat.

Does anyone have suggestions for staying fit while traveling? Have a routine you'd like to share? Keep in mind that I won't have access to any equipment.

This is a preliminary routine I've used a couple times while on shorter trips, comments welcome:

Tues, Thurs, Sat: 20-30 mins of interval running (hills or windsprints, depending on what I can find)

Mon, Weds, Fri: ~45 mins bodyweight workout

-20 normal pushups
-50 crunches
-2x10 lying leg extensions (lower abs)
-30 cross crunches (each side)

-20 wide pushups
-50 crunches
-2x10 slow bicycles
-30 cross crunches (each side)

-20 narrow pushups
-12 dips (using a chair or whatever i can find)
-20 normal pushups
-12 dips
-20 wide pushups
-12 dips

-2 mins bridging (30 sec left side bridge, 30 sec normal, 30 sec right side bridge, 30 sec normal)

-(optional) 3xfailure chinups (if I can find something to haul myself up on!)
