I am not so interested in bringing the makeup supplies, sometimes, I did not even comb my hair or wash my face, so there is no reasons to bring all of these stuffs. I like to travel light, carry less stuff.
I love to be minimalistic, carrying as light backpack as possible.
My backpack for 8 to 12 days trip weights from 3 to 4.5 kg. Every time I make sure all important things are packed. I don’t bother with choosing what type clothes to bring, so it takes me about 20 minutes to pack my bag. The best is to sort things out into smaller bags and put those in the backpack.
Here is list of stuff I pack with myself:
Mini first aid, in case I will have some stomach ache, temperature, or cut myself.
An umbrella/rain jacket (during rainy season).
My personal computer as I love to write, a power bank.
Toiletries bag (shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, shower gel, sunscreen). All in mini bottles.
T-shirts (3 or 4), a dress, 2 leggings, 2 undershirts , 3 underwears and one shirt.
Scarf that I can either use as a blanket, a towel or a hat.
Headlamp.
Sunglasses.
Notebook and a pen (sometimes my drawing book).
Book.
Water bottle (I don’t want to pollute this world using so many plastic bottles. Better to have own).
Hipster (a belly- wallet design style, so I can wear it around my hips and no one knows that this is my hidden wallet.)
A pair of shoes/ and two pairs of socks (depends on where I travel to).
Money, a passport and a copy of my passport (in case I lose the original).
As you see, they all fit into my carry-on luggage.
