So, I have to start putting together a packing list for when I'm studying abroad, and my rough draft looks something like most of my closet.
Obviously, that can't happen.
I'll be living in London for three and a half months, from September through mid-December. So obviously, I'll be needing more than just a suitcase you'd pack for vacation, but I also can't bring my whole closet, because
- I'm living in a dorm,
- I have to take it all from Seattle to London on a plane, which means...
- ...I'm only allowed one checked bag for free {though I'll likely/definitely end up paying for a second checked bag}, and
- I really can't ship much stuff because that's expensive and a hassle.
Also, I'm sure I'll end up buying things abroad, in which case I need to think ahead and plan on leaving room for things to come back with me.
My point?
I have no idea how this is gonna happen.
In theory, I have it all worked out, but the reality is that I am a heavy packer.
So I need help.
Has anyone packed for a long term thing like this? Do you have advice and tips for what and/or how to pack? Anyone living in London who can give me an idea of what I'll need and what I won't need? I'll take anything I can get, guys.
And I'll definitely be posting on this topic occasionally over the next month as I try to accomplish this as practically as possible, considering this is me we're talking about...
