A Seven-Month Trip Across Asia

Asia – Cross-Continent

With a Small Backpack, My Pentax K1000, and Eight Rolls of Film

Back from my seven-month Asia adventure. Haven’t got much to unpack: I travelled with one small backpack that can fit on a plane as a carryon. I didn’t limit my packing space to follow a minimalist fad or to make a statement. I did it so that I would not have to pay the baggage fees and wait like a peasant around the airports’ luggage carousels.
