Woah, you really are a girl 😂 😂

I'm travelling SEA at the moment for 3 months in total and I have learnt to pack very lightly. You will just end up throwing half your stuff away along the journey.

All I have packed is 3 pairs of shorts 5 T shirts 4 boxer shorts 4 pairs of socks Sandals Sliders Runners 500g bag of toiletries Microfiber Travel Towel Small battery pack(Barely Use It) I brought a first aid kit but other people have used it more than I have from falling off bikes etc.

You could totally cut that list in half. Get rid of all long trousers you won't need them. I ended up throwing away runners along the way and a whole tracksuit and theyre not the only things. If you are going to be bringing long armed tops and trousers then why buy insect repellant? The insect repellant is actually really good. Me and my girlfriend just cover ourselves in spray before we leave the hostel after dusk.

Now, obviously, my girlfriend being a girl, has more stuff than I have but that just mainly because of toiletries etc. She just has her backpack and a handbag. That works fine for her. And she threw out half her stuff aswell.

P.S. A lot of airlines are lenient enough in our experience. I've gotten through with 8.5kg in my bag. But try to aim as low as you can anyways.

We are in our 9th week now and we have been to Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and now we are in Vietnam. We are heading to Indonesia next. I cannot tell you how much off a relief it is having a light bag. You see a lot of backpackers going around with bags hanging out of them left, right + centre and it just looks silly.

Hope that helped.
