Packing List for 4-Month Backpacking Adventure

What To Pack or Not To Pack?!



What on earth do you pack for a four-month adventure through southeast Asia and China? Well, Austin and I wanted to be able to carry everything with us since we will be on a million trains, planes, and buses and will be sleeping on the cheap. We aren't sure where our next anything will be, so we need to be able to carry everything with us NBD. Laundry and clothes are cheap, and we will be sweaty messes anyway.

This list isn't proven yet, but we did our research and packed the following, all of which amounted to two, 17-pound backpacks (Gregory 40 L and Gregory 38 L). Can you believe it?! My college backpack weighed more.

6 shirts
1 skirt
1 light-weight polyester pants
2 shorts
2 swimsuits
1 pair flipflops
1 pair sandle/strappy shoes
5 pairs underwear
2 bras
