Are you planning a trip to Southeast Asia and you’re wondering what to bring with you? After traveling non-stop for almost 2 years in Asia, I’m here to share with you the ultimate packing list to Southeast Asia, backpackers’ edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other packing guides, this guide is tailored specifically for backpackers. I know how hard it is to pack your life in just a backpack, but I’m here to help you and guide you. You can travel light and efficient and I’m going to show you how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve compiled this packing list for Southeast Asia, keeping in mind that space is the most important. I have a few tricks under my sleeve that took me years of backpacking to learn that helped me travel light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This packing guide is suitable for a wide range of activities (hiking, swimming, city walks and more). After traveling through a wide range of climates, I learned which items are a must and which are a burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the must-have items when traveling to Asia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Choose a backpack – the most important item<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like a turtle carries its shell, you’ll carry your backpack everywhere you’ll go. It’s crucial to choose a comfortable, sturdy and spacious backpack, tailored for your height and physical strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of a backpack is measured in litres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a girl planning to backpack in Southeast Asia, I recommend a 40-50 litre backpack. If you’re in good physical shape and you’re tall, you can choose a 60 litre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a boy planning to backpack Southeast Asia, I recommend a 60 litre backpack. You can carry electronics in it, clothes and if you’re traveling with your girlfriend, you’ll have enough space for some of her stuff too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal story<\/strong> – Every time I and my boyfriend go backpacking, my travel bag is always full. If we decide to buy souvenirs, he’s the one who carries them. That’s why Dan always saves a small space in his backpack for souvenirs and unplanned items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going back to backpacks, here are my recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
