My travel gear
My lightweight backpack for twelve years.
“Where’s your luggage?”
I often get that question when traveling. The answer is that it’s on my back, in my small, lightweight backpack.
I like to travel light. Not as a statement or some minimalist trend. Simply because it’s easier, and I don’t need more stuff.
For the last twelve years, I’ve used the same backpack and pretty much the same type of luggage. Apart from what I’m wearing, including my phone and earbuds, this is what I bring when traveling to Thailand:
- Two pairs of shorts
- Two T-shirts
- Two pairs of underwear
- Medications
- One book
- Laptop
- Multi-charger
- Snus (with the intention to quit)
That’s it.
When I arrive, I buy the other things I need. Toiletries like a toothbrush, toothpaste, lotion, and so on. It’s basically the same products I use back home in Sweden, just at about half the price.
So far, it’s been more than enough.
