What I packed for a 3 week trip to Asia


What I packed for a 3 week trip to Asia

I recently went to China and Hong Kong for about three weeks. As per usual, I wanted to make sure that I didn't overpack especially since I would be travelling a lot - only staying in one place for 1-3 nights. Here is what I packed:

- 1 skirt
- 2 pairs of shorts
- 1 pair of running shorts
- harem pants (didn't wear)
- 6 tops
- 1 sleep top
- sleep shorts
- dress
- long sleeved flowy top (worn once and not comfortable at all)
- jumpsuit (not pictured)
- jumper (not pictured or worn)


It all fitted in a carry-on suitcase with room to spare, however, after about 3 days I had worn pretty much all of my clothes and they were all dirty. Here's what I'd pack now, looking back:

- 1 skirt
- 2 pairs of shorts
- 1 2 pairs of running shorts
- harem pants (didn't wear)
- 6  8-10 tops (I really needed more)
- 1 sleep top
- sleep shorts
- dresses (although I don't actually have two, it would have been useful)
- long sleeved flowy top (worn once and not comfortable at all)
- jumpsuit (not pictured)
- jumper (not pictured or worn)

Therefore:
- 1 skirt
- 2 pairs of shorts
- 2 pairs of running shorts
- 8-10 tops
- 1 set of sleepwear
- 2 dresses
- jumpsuit

Hope this helps if you might be packing. I'm definitely for minimalist packing but I think this time taking some more clothes would have been helpful. I think it's good that I'm realising what I did and didn't need so I can pack better next time!

I hope this helps and happy travels!
