More Packing

So I seem to be a little obsessed with having the "perfect packing list". The last few months have revolved around carefully selecting items of clothing, laying them out, changing my mind, repeat. I think I'm almost ready to do a practice pack ahahah. Yes I am insane.

Okay so I bought a couple of dresses that can be worn with leggings. Super comfy and versatile. I'll pretty much be living in this sort of clothing. I also bought some nikes which will be my walking shoes. Trying to focus on making sure everything can be worn with every other item of clothing. It's harder than you would think!!!

Luggage Review - Caribee 80L Skymaster

On the 28th of August our little trio began our long journey to the other, more glamorous, side of the planet. At this point I had packed and re-packed my luggage about 100 times, making absolutely sure that nothing unnecessary was being dragged along for 5 weeks with me. I'm super happy with my luggage choice (since I'm writing this after the trip, I lived and breathed out of this bag, so you can trust my opinion). I went with the Caribee 80L Skymaster which I purchased from Wild Earth for almost $100 less than irl retailers. So yeah this luggage was sweet, to be completely honest I was a bit in love with it and very attached by the end of the trip. It has a really nice blue lining, a laundry shoot pocket, a small easily accessible pocket for front access which I used for shoes. The wheels are so solid, I dragged this thing over cobble stones, through mud, up and down stairs and escalators in the London Underground (to be fair, Rhee's lovely husband Kris did most of t...

Homebody

I've always been a homebody. Craving security and comfort, the knowledge that my friends and family are around to help if something goes wrong. I enjoy the familiar, and I'm almost petrified of the strange. I've only done a tiny smidge of traveling in my life. Twice to Melbourne and three times to Bali. Bali is the only foreign country I have visited, and the place has pretty much been taken over by Aussie culture. It's still *different* but not exactly the sort of place you go for an adventure. Travel is pretty terrifying when you think about it. You're in a new place, with a different currency, language, customs, food. You can easily do something wrong and embarrass yourself. It's almost impossible to blend in with the locals. You can be conned or mugged and be taken advantage of.  But they say that everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear. & that life begins at the end of your comfort zone... Everyone seems to be catching ...

Saving for Travel

Today we booked our flights for Europe, which means that this is really happening. Little bundle of excitement and energy right now! We've been working towards this for the last few months so it's quite thrilling.  So let's talk about how to start getting that cash together for your trip. I'm already pretty religious with saving the monies. But here are a few tips I found useful to get funds together to book flights: So the separate bank account is pretty obvious; you don't have instantaneous access to your funds so you're not tempted to touch them. You also might get a better deal on interest rates with other banks which is a bonus.  Onto the second point, always remember to set aside enough for yourself. If you leave yourself short you'll be forced to dip into savings. Have an idea of how much you need for yourself and how much you would like to save. I usually leave myself with around $300 and put away any excess at the end of the paychec...
