My Minimal Travel Backpack Setup

I'm traveling to Japan for 2 weeks and didn't want to be slowed down by my usual roller luggage. So instead I'm trying to fit everything I need into a single backpack. It was a lot more challenging than I thought to keep it light and compact but it was a fun challenge.

Here's what I ended up with:

Backpack - Aer Travel Pack 1

(There's also a newer v2 that looks more comfortable)

IKEA Packing Cubes
(Looks like they discontinued the ones I have, which is unfortunate they are great and cheap, not sure if the new versions are any good)
