After completing my Australian 4WD camping adventure and swapping the Land Cruiser for a backpack it&rsquo;s time to start travelling again. I&rsquo;m moving back to the UK and plan to do some more travelling on the way. The plan is to fly from Sydney to Bangkok and travel around the Mekong region before returning to Bangkok for a flight to London. I&rsquo;ve just spent 2 weeks in Sydney catching-up and saying goodbye to good friends, selling my beloved Land Cruiser and preparing for the next adventure. I was planning to travel as light as possible and managed to get my overall backpack down to 20kilos. I&rsquo;d purchased a 55 litre main pack with an additional 25 litre day back zipped on the outside. I&rsquo;d filled both with all my stuff, I was keen to take my Digital SLR with lens and kit plus a small 10inch laptop for image processing/storage, blog writing and to keep in contact with family &amp; friends over email. I didn&rsquo;t pack much clothes, you can buy plenty of clothes out there. It was still a challenge to get the weight down but I&rsquo;m pleased with 20kilos. They say ideally you should carry a quarter your body weight, half at most but that gets really hard work.
