hey lovely! i hate to be that person but i think a packing google sheet's the answer, and one that's so detailed it's essentially a chatgpt prompt. it probs doesn't save time the first time you do it, but being able to duplicate a tab from a similar trip, simply switch up your fits / add a new book, saves so so much time! and you never ever forgot anything. hopefully see you soon <3

whaat! no way - I have been there three times this year and just got back last night. Definitely will reach out next time I am there but won't be until after Burning Man.

Dunno when Burning Man is but I'm leaving long-term August 22! Might have missed our chance :(

I share many of your travel stresses and ALWAYS travel carry on. I find packing exciting but stressful. Over the years I’ve found that it helps to give everything its own container. If you emptied out my bag it would be full of smaller bags haha but it does help me to make sure I have things easily accessible (e.g chargers, toiletries, first aid period stuff). I’ve never had fancy bags, just use whatever I’ve got at home (finally my tote bag collection is being used!) Also, for my most recent trip I prepped my outfits so I didn’t overpack clothes … also hugely helps when getting dressed every day 😂

We all get wiser as we have opportunities to see and experience more of the world. You are getting there.
