à la Suisse

Listening to: She Belongs to Me – Bob Dylan

My semester at the University of Lausanne starts in a few weeks, and right now packing is on my mind. I’m trying to remember how I packed everything in one suitcase for this past summer I spent working in Quebec City. But then, I packed mostly light summer clothes, and now I have to try to fit winter clothes too.. oh gosh.

But somehow, it feels a bit different now. Going into this exchange I want to keep my mind open and embrace to the fullest the adventures that my time abroad have in store. I want to feel light, transportable, and focusing my time on the experiences. I wonder if then for me packing a lot is some sort of metaphor for the load you carry on your mind during your travels. Not sure.. regardless I’ve decided to go minimalist in my packing and bring a suitcase with the essentials, and carry-on 55L backpack and a camera bag.

13 DAYS UNTIL DEPARTURE!!!

à bientôt 🙂
