In this video, I'm showing you exactly what I packed for my six-week trip from Siem Reap, Cambodia to the UK, travelling with just my 28L Cotopaxi backpack and a 13L Fjällräven Kånken.

No checked luggage, no huge suitcase and no unnecessary packing. Just two small bags for six weeks of travel.

I'll show you exactly what's inside my backpack, how I pack for long-term travel, what I take with me when travelling as a solo female traveller, and how I manage to travel light while still having everything I need for six weeks in the UK.

But that's not all. I'm also breaking down my FULL travel costs, including my flights from Southeast Asia to the UK, so you can see exactly what this journey cost me.

✈️ MY ROUTE:
Siem Reap, Cambodia → Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia → Istanbul, Turkey → London Heathrow, UK

🛏️ I also spent an overnight stop in Kuala Lumpur at Pod Hostel before continuing my journey.

If you're planning a trip from Southeast Asia to Europe, looking for packing tips for long-term travel, wondering how to pack for six weeks with carry-on luggage, or simply curious about the real cost of travelling from Cambodia to the UK, this video will give you a realistic look at how I do it.
