Packing for a Three Month Trip

Before heading off travelling I read so many posts/ watched so many videos/spoke to so many people about what to pack when you are around the world. I had to pack for both the easy, modern and hot Australia, and for SE Asia where more equipment is necessary and it is much less developed. Here is my final list... I have no idea how useful all these items will be, but I will update on their use later into my trip. This is going to be quite a long post as I packed lots!

My main bag is a 65 litre berghaus with wheels and it has a 15 litre daypack attached which I am also bringing. For hand luggage I am using an 18 litre Dakine.

Gap Year Plans

I have now finished University and I've decided the best idea is to take a Gap Year before I start teacher training in June 2015. After working for a few months in order to earn money I am now going to be taking three months out to go travelling. I am travelling with my cousin, it worked out perfectly that we wanted to both go away at the same time to similar places. 

Our trip began on January 7th and we will be flying back to the UK on 1st April. 

Our plan is...

Melbourne 

Cairns 

East Coast - Greyhound Bus Hop On Hop Off 

Sydney

Cambodia

Vietnam

Laos

Thailand
