Default taking a 2 week trip in 2 days, do i have everything?

hey folks... need some help with you guys that travel a lot...
this is the first big trip i've ever taken and i'm a bit freaked out about having everything and being ready...
as i didn't book anything in advance i'm going where-ever the road takes me, i'm trying to plan for every scenario... never even took an overnighter where i had to sleep somewhere, so... i'm getting nervous
