As much as I hate packing, I also hate buying random stuff during travel.
My non-mathematical equation is simple:
Buying material stuff = spending money = less money to spend during travel
Maybe, maybe if I have unlimited budget, I wouldn’t mind buying stuff I need on the spot. Or maybe not.
When it’s time for me to pack, my needs for imagination are summoned, and I think of every scenario I can possibly imagine.
- Am I weather somewhat proofed? (Not just umbrella, but clothes that could take less time to dry)
- Will I attend business casual/gathering/nice dinner spot?
- Will I possibly hike?
- Is it gonna be super hot or cold?
I have boxes full of travel stuff where I keep some random things. And I really thought I had some systematic system figured out, but I don’t.
And I struggle.
No matter how many times I travel, I am still bad at packing.
I really need to think of system where I don’t have to think about all these things and paralyze myself.
