The Long Haul

It's been about a year or so since I started preparing for my leave from the US, to travel the world for at least 1 year. I feel like from the moment I committed to the idea until now, I have probably consolidated my belongings an approximate of 10 times. Minimizing my needs, re arranging my priorities, detaching from physical memories. In short, simplifying my life. Now, on the road, 90% of everything I own fit on my 65L bag pack. The rest, a few precious pieces and some extra clothing sit at my mom's place.
As some of you know Im traveling to Central and South America, Im also visiting Europe for a bit then exploring South East Asia. I'd like to share what it is I bringing with me on this trip, maybe I can get some feedback on how to lighten and minimize my load.

While I'm trying to travel light, I'm also bringing some items I'm aware might not be necessary, such as toys and other gadgets.
