Believe it or not, I think it’s easier to pack for a Round the World Trip, than moving somewhere for 3 months.
On a RTW trip, you eliminate so much of your wardrobe as options for packing. You have to make the assumption that you aren’t going to hit the nightclubs, visit nice places, dress well or have wardrobe options. For those of you that have been with us since the beginning of our blog, you know I didn’t bring much on our trip. As James called my clothes, outfit 1 and outfit 1A! You can also reread my post about that first attempt at packing here or James’ packing list here.
So I put off packing for awhile as I just wasn’t sure where to start. How do I approach packing for 3 months that will cover different climates, temperatures and different wardrobe needs? Dresses, shoes, boots, jackets, yoga, rock climbing, pants, long sleeved shirts, shirts! Yikes. Seeing as how much I have been enjoying having lots of clothes to pick from each day since we have been home, I couldn’t see myself going back to 2 or 3 options again.
Finally, I started pulling out different bits of clothes and laying them on my brother’s bed as he was out of town (unfortunately!) Piece by piece, I pulled items from my closet that had more than one option for wear, ie dresses that could be paired with leggings, layering shirts, you get the idea. After all, this had to fit into one suitcase so I was trying to maximize and be efficient.
You can see from the photos below that I somehow squeezed it all into that pretty empty looking suitcase on the floor! And dare I say, I am enjoying my clothes options in Barcelona. Definitely packed well and more importantly will look cute during our time here
