One time I forgot to pack underwear for a long trip. The whole thing was just awkward and the trip to the nearest Target was as equal to the walk of shame. Needless to say, I got new underwear in the process! Now I share this 'cause studying abroad is a lot like my "dummies for packing story". Opening up my suitcase to see no underwear was an unexpected surprise that I had to work around in a new place. And a big part of studying abroad is taking on the unexpected utilizing ones surroundings while also allowing growth individually. As I pack up for my first 3 months abroad in Europe, yes I fear the unexpected, yet I say bring the adventures on. Because at the end of the day you can always buy more underwear, but you’ll never buy back how you dealt and grew from the unexpected. Tomorrow’s the big day - I depart for my three-month Europe adventure. I have made a list of my take on what packing essentials one should travel with.

Europe Edition.

 

1.) Passport - gotta get those stamp numbers up

 

2.) JBL Portable Clip On Speaker - who travels without music?

 

3.) BlueSky Planner - helps with weekend trip planning

 

4.) Instax Mini - capture those memories in an artsy way

 

5.) Forever 21 Headpiece/Decor - great piece to make it easy to track your luggage and if you need an accessory - boom headband

 

6.) Urban Decay | Naked 2 - go to makeup palette

 

7.) Bangle & Babe Bracelet - cute accessory to hold keys

 

8.) Spotify - playlists are cool
