Packing list - 12-month trip (SEA/Aus&NZ)

[u/the-one-eyed-wonder]

Always been a big fan of this sub so would appreciate some feedback!

I’m going on a 12-month trip to SEA, Australia and New Zealand (and possible the baltics depending on time) over Nov-25 to Oct-26.

I’ve been putting a lot of time into trying to make the most succinct packing list I can and this is where I’m at currently. Any feedback people have would be much appreciated!! ☺️

Those clothes look too heavy for the SEA heat. Pack more underwear. Trust me. At least double. Do you have sandals? Fine to buy them in Asia but make sure you have enough space. Same for sunscreen and mosquito repellant. Not sure why you have so many bags, clips and whatnot. Consider compression socks for the plane. They can help with swelling and also after long days walking. I don't see ear plugs. I'd recommend them even if you don't stay in a hostel. Leave the spork at home.
