I’m currently in SE Asia on a 5 month backpacking trip. So far I’ve spent 59 days in the Philippines, 10 in Malaysia, and 44 in Indonesia. For the last 3 years, every time I go on an international trip my goal is to bring just one backpack. I like to pack minimally, but also love to bring some “splurgy” items.

Here is my ENTIRE packing list
