Columbus I am not
I have a work trip to Europe scheduled in my near future. Aside from being anxious about the plane trip, (a side note here: I am not your traditional fearful flyer. If I was the only one on the plane, I’d be happy as could be. I have great confidence in the physics that keep the plane in the air. It’s the other passengers that scare the crap out of me) I’m struggling with how to prepare and pack for a possible 11+ days away. It will be the longest trip I’ve ever taken and when I pack for a weekend, I bring half of my wardrobe (which isn’t hard) so the thought of packing for an 11 day trip overseas is at least perplexing at most terrifying.
I’ve been getting lots of advice like “pack an extra pair of underpants, in case you shit yourself” (what great friends I have). However, today I think I found the best resource ever. It’s called “OneBag, the art and science of traveling light“. This site covers everything from what to pack, how to pack it, and what to pack it in. From folding your clothes to prohibited items, it’s all there. I plan to spend some quality time this week reading over the entire site. Hopefully, it’ll clear up some of my traveling anxiety.
