Hello Everybody! How are you all doing?
Today I want to talk about traveling. As my trip draws near the only thing in my mind is about traveling. So for today’s post I want to dedicate it to the second most important process of pre-flight. Yes, I will be talking about packing.
As of today this is must be the longest list I’ve written so far. But this list is important. It keeps in check everything I have and what I am taking with me. Everybody has a different list. It all depends what items you consider important enough to take. Also the type of trip and the length can change the way you pack.

As you can see, I am packing a lot of stuff. I could be taking unnecessary things. I should be packing less as I am traveling for a year. Everything I need I can buy it over there. I admit that that I am packing too much. But I do have a lot of things here that I am using. For example I have a body lotion that I use and it isn’t even 25% used. I don’t want go and buy a new one and leave the almost used one at home.
These are the tips that I took in mind while packing:
I didn’t pack all my clothes. With that I had the chance to throw and give away my old clothes. I only kept the clothes that I still like. I am taking some and the rest will stay at home. All my clothes are black, white and gray. So I can match it all with each other. Now I can feel like I have more clothes combinations than I thought. As I am traveling with important documents, I made sure to make copies.
This trip is forcing me to experience new things. I had to buy a coats and boots. Everything that can help me resist the winter weather. But it is not enough for Whistler. I will be shopping for winter attire as soon as I arrive. Something that I decided not to pack, was books. They take up so much space. At least I have the chance to try out some audio books.
I should go back to my luggage and fix what I did. Making sure it weight less. The least I want to do is to start my trip by paying extra weight fees. I’ll do what I can to make it work. Even it I have to unload a lot of stuff I can not take.
And there you have it, another travel post. There are only a few days left. Soon I will be boarding on a plane and visiting a new country. But before I do that there are a few things left to do. Either it be cleaning up my bedroom or checking-in on my trip reservations. Each day my excitement grows a it more.
Do not forget to give me visit at my new website The Senspirational ArtRoom. All I need is your support and now you can do so by going to my Patreon page. Or go to see my older drawings at DeviantArt. There are also many other sites that I am currently active. Never forget to add meat Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and on Pinterest. Well I’ll leave now. Be nice to others and have a nice day!
See you all later and take care,
