I blinked and summer had come to a close. The long days of working, reading and family time were over for the summer. A large pile of clothes was on my bed and I was trying to go over my beautifully (in my humble opinion) organized packing list. I’ll be in France until December and brought a medium suitcase, a 40L backpack for trips and a small backpack which was more than enough.
For packing I try to keep a three things in mind..
- I love categories on my lists so for clothes I will put pants and then list and then make a note of things I still need to buy. I try to do this a week before I leave.
- When all the clothes are out I try and cut out down the amount by half (cut throat but I realized I really don’t need that many clothes)
- Roll roll and roll! I know rolling can cause wrinkles in clothes and on some occasions I do vacuum seal but if you don’t have access to a vacuum for repacking its not fun.
