I’ve been traveling around Southeast Asia for a few months and started with almost 30kg of luggage. Very quickly realized that was a huge mistake. Moving around with that much weight has been brutal and the airline fees don’t help either.
Now I keep seeing people traveling for months or even years with just a carry-on backpack and I’m trying to move toward that style.
For those who do this long-term, how many clothes do you usually carry? What size backpack do you use? Are you able to stay under the 7–10kg carry-on limits?
Would love to hear what systems or packing strategies actually work.
