Even though nobody asked, here’s a whole post documenting what I packed for this 3-month trip. It’s actually pretty crazy how much I was able to squeeze into a 45L backpack.
There were some rules I followed for clothes specifically. First of all, pockets on everything, except tops. Self-explanatory. Secondly, each article of clothing has to be easy to clean/dry. And lastly, because I know myself, I’m not allowed to bring anything that stains easily and obviously.
To be fair to myself, even though I put off planning my trip until basically the last minute, I have spent months mentally planning my packing list. I did way too much research, and I spent more money than I should have on stuff and things.
One thing I was debating was whether to bring my running shoes and clothes. That half-marathon in November isn’t going to train for itself. But, honestly, I’m 3 days in, and I have absolutely no desire to run 😬 What can I say… past-me had no faith in present-me, so thankfully I left that gear at home.
Last thing I’ll say to anyone who is reading this: bring a sheet mask with you on the plane! It was so refreshing, especially at the tail end of my red eye. Did I look like a crazy person? Yes, but I also know that everyone else was jealous of me. A million thank-you’s to EMJ for that.
If you made it this far in my post, you’re probably pretty disappointed by the lack of interesting stories. Like, who cares what I packed or didn’t pack? And you’re right; nobody cares except for me. Too bad though. Sorry not sorry 🤷♀️
Cheers!
P.S. Actually, I am preparing a few posts scheduled to be published on semi-regular interval, so hopefully you’ll find something interesting to read in the coming days.
