For anyone who thinks they might need some year abroad packing tips, let me lay down what little wisdom I have to offer on the subject.
1. Sort through all of your clothes, separate items into "Not Taking" and "Maybe Taking"
2. Store or donate the "Not Taking" pile somewhere
3. Take your "Maybe Taking" pile and divide it into two piles "Worn in the last year" and "Not worn in the last year"
4. Store things that you haven't worn in the last year, if you haven't worn it before you probably won't wear it while you're abroad
5. Look at your "Worn in the last year" pile and just keep dividing it up until you feel like you have just enough clothes to make it through all the seasons (if your destination has different seasons)
This is how my "Worn in the last year" pile started out
Thankfully it ended up nicely packed in the suitcase on the left
Now that I'm all packed, I'm off to spend some time with my family, on another note, ONLY 8 DAYS UNTIL I'M BOSNIA BOUND!
Happy Packing!
