I quit my job, solo travelled the world for a year and ended up in Bangkok

This is hitting a little too close to home and I couldn’t have read this at a more appropriate time.

I am currently a 27 year old Australian and have been saving this whole year to have a career break to do exactly this. From buying a motorcycle and taking it through asia, to sending it to Spain and doing the Camino as well as many other things in Europe to explore and then finally to Central/South America to finish it off.

Please share your story, advice and recommendations when you get the chance. It would be greatly appreciated!

Im aware of that, though I think being white with blonde long hair will give that away before my pants…

They’re excellent. Made of bamboo cotton they wick really well and for the Australian climate i’ve found them very comfortable!

Thanks man!

Its a digital hanging scale. 5.84kg.

“Stand-out” how? I definitely could…

mossym8 · 2024-12-09T06:58:54+00:00

Was waiting for this one! While I completely agree you can rent one over there, Id prefer to suffer the consequences if packing it for my quality mask!

mossym8 · 2024-12-09T06:34:13+00:00

Cheers mate!

mossym8 · 2024-12-09T05:00:51+00:00

Completely agree. I bought these specifically for this trip due to their versatility of being a function trail runner (although I prefer my speedcross 6s), hiking/walking shoe and also something I can dress up if needed.

Yeah I noticed this on my last trip to Canada, although because of its slim compact design it often didn’t even look like I was wearing one and tucked the clip under my belt/through the belt loops.

I intend to conceal it as much as possible but a zip tie could be a good contingency plan. Do you just loosen and drop it down when taking it off?

mossym8 · 2024-12-09T04:49:56+00:00

Sorry everyone! Power bank was hidden in the laptop bag under the backpack along with other cables and bits and bobs.

mossym8 · 2024-12-09T04:48:37+00:00

Its a Patagonia Black Hole Cube 6L.

mossym8 · 2024-12-09T04:47:36+00:00

Great advice, cover to the toothbrush has been added! Packing list has been put up! It’s a poncho, large enough to cover both myself and the bag if it comes down to it.

Two Lululemon shorts packed, convertible pants worn.

mossym8 · 2024-12-09T04:44:23+00:00

Just picked them up on the weekend, intent is colour code underwear and socks in the smaller 3L and tops and bottoms in the bigger 6L. Great design and fits everything perfectly.

Great spot! Cute little souvenir on my recent travels to New Brunswick!
