So it is nearly time for some travels again, with this coming month being spent in Vietnam and then Thailand. Here is my packing list for this upcoming trip.

I have been travelling pretty light for a number of years and have got my packing list down to exactly what I need and use when I travel, so thought I would share it. It doesn’t vary too much from this list as I generally travel to warm countries.

My backpack is a Tom Bihn Synapse 25, I won’t go into too much detail on this except to say this is possibly THE bag for one bag travel/all in one/carry on/do everything you need, and I (like many others) had researched this a lot before investing in one (they are not cheap but it is a bag for life and had made in America).

What do I pack then? Here it is:

2 T-shirts

2 Shirts

Sports Vest

Swim Shorts

2 Trousers (which zip-offs to shorts)

3 x Boxers and socks

Lightweight waterproof jacket

Running Trainers

Flip-flops/sandals

Towel (turkish linen style much better than travel towels)

First Aid Kit

Toiletries

Fold up 5 litre daypack

Ipad & Iphone

Kindle ebook reader

Travel adapter plug socket and usb cables

Water filter bottle (travel tap from drinksafesystems)

I plan to discuss individual items in further detail and review them as I go along after being used.
