Packing for a two-month trip is a challenge at the best of times. When the temperature will span from 90 degrees down to 19 degrees, it can feel almost impossible.
Starting my trip in Seoul, South Korea in late January, before heading to the steamy cities of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, following by Thailand's balmy beaches, I knew I needed to pack an array of options. And, I didn't have much room.
Because I was booking a bunch of flights and constantly on the lookout for deals, I wanted to be able to only fly with a carry-on. So, I needed to fit two months' worth of clothing, plus various tech and other travel gear, in a roller suitcase and a purse.
A month in and reporting from the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand, I can say I did a pretty good job. I made a few mistakes and had to buy a few things on the road, but overall my plan has worked out pretty well.
If you're heading for a trip that lasts a month or longer in a variety of climates, read on for my packing list. Hopefully, it will help you build your own.
