This is what I pack for a few weeks or a year. It seems like so much! But altogether it usually weighs around 18 lb (8.5 kg).
1. The key is to have your clothing all mix-n-match. Basic black, grey, and one accent color. With just a few items you can have a ton of outfits!
2. All lightweight and quick dry fabrics. If it doesn't pack small, it stays at home.
3. For your PJs pack something multi-use like a shorts and a tank top.
4. Only bring as much as you are going to use. Liquids should be in travel containers no larger than 3oz., pack just a few tums/band-aids/etc., and you should remove all packaging.
