Packing for Southeast Asia


Well, the itinerary for my big Southeast Asia trip is complete, and now I'm wrapping my head around what to pack for the hot, humid climate that they have. Since I live on a breezy island, I'm used to wearing jeans 95% of the time, but so I've heard, even at night there it'll be too warm to wear my Levi's.

What's on my TO PACK List???


TOPS
  • One white v-neck, one black
  • Long sleeve, loose dress shirt for cooler nights
  • 2 basic tanks
  • One cropped t-shirt
  • One cropped tank
  • Black Cardigan 
  • Wind Breaker (Uniqlo)
  • Bomber Jacket (H&M)
BOTTOMS
  • Black maxi skirt
  • Denim shorts (H&M)
  • Athletic shorts (Nike)
  • Buy elephant pants in Bangkok*
  • Loose high waisted shorts
DRESSES/ROMPERS
  • 2 Rompers (one plain black, one orange with tassels)
  • Black cami dress
  • More formal t-shirt dress for nights out
  • Beach Dress
SHOES
  • Black Steve Madden sandals 
  • GAP flip flops
  • Nike trainers 
  • Plain black slides
OTHERS
  • Sports Bra
  • 3 Bathing Suits (2 Tj Swim bikinis, American Apparel one piece)
  • Underwear
  • Bralettes (Aritzia)
  • Socks
ELECTRONICS
  • Go Pro
  • Unlocked Cell Phone
  • Camera

I'm sure I am missing so many things, but I really want to ensure I have packed light because I am known for over packing beyond belief.
Thankfully, Asia has pretty much everything we have here in North America, so if I've forgotten something, it won't be hard to come by.

Till next time,
Emily xx.

Cayo Santa Maria - Cuba

https://youtu.be/SfvXm1kXo94 As well traveled as I am, I had never been to Cuba until February of this year. My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to go on a reading break get away to a nice all inclusive resort to relax before submerging in midterm season. The biggest issue I tend to have before travelling is trying to find the perfect place to stay. I do tend to check (and check and check...) Trip Advisor for reviews, but what I've learned is you really have to take a grain of salt with some of the reviews people leave. We chose to stay at Ocean Casa Del Mar, as it was a beautiful brand new resort! This resort was very modern and had such beautiful views, but what I learnt was that Cuba is not nearly up to date as Canada, with a lot of things, but it really is a beautiful country. Here's some Pro's and Con's of my experience.  Pros: Food - The food wasn't actually nearly as bad as people made it out to be. A wide selection, but did feel a bit if...

Bangkok

Well after almost 18 hours of travelling we made it to Bangkok. As we walked out of the airport to taxi to our hotel, we were hit with the humid, hot air. It was roughly 38 degrees Celsius and that was the norm here, deffanitly going to take some getting used to. We then ventured to our hotel Marvin Suites, which was about 45 minutes away from the airport. At first glance I noticed we were probably not in the best location, as there was zero other backpackers and it appeared to be mainly locals. I wasn't dissapointed, actually slightly relieved if be surrounded by actual culture, not just the tourist traps. During our 2 night stay here we struggled with jet lag, barely being able to stay awake past 5 pm  and waking up at the peak hours of 430 am. During our stay in Bangkok, we saw the amazing Grand Palace, with several temples and really got to soak up the culture (at 38°). We also took a long stroll down the famous khaosan road to check out all the local vendors and the fo...
