A couple of days ago I’ve read a very interesting article in the New York Times which began like this: What a great trip! And I’m not even there yet! I thought it was funny start but when I read more, I realized how much true it is.
Every time I plan a trip there’s a huge dose of adrenaline, I’m happy and every day passes easy, because I wait the day I’ll. The article highlights the fact that we’re happier when we anticipate a trip and whatever bad happens during a trip it will not take us the joy of preparations. You can read the full article here.
This is how I felt for the last few week. Because I couldn’t go on vacation on Christmas & New Year, the end of January was the only option to relax and recharge my batteries. And how do I recharge my batteries in winter? With heat of course. But I won’t tell you the destination yet and I’ll leave you guess.
Starting a week before, when I have a bit of free time I start to think of what I need, what should be in baggage, how many outfits I’ll wear, where will go out. I’m not the type who throws in the luggage 2 pairs of shorts, 3 tshirts and 2 pairs of shoes. And that’s because I’m half perfectionist Virgo and half crazy Scorpio, yearning for adventure. If we’re talking about the signs, my horoscope says 2016 will be a crazy year, maybe I’ll surprise you. J
Going back to the trip, I want to show my perfect travelling kit.
First of all, a comfortable outfit but with stylish elements. For today I picked a pair of military green jeans, from H&M Men ( yes, that’s right, from the Men section ), a nude tank top from Vanessa Bruno ( similar here ) & white top, the H&M cardigan and the Zara coat ( similar here ) will keep me warm until I’ll leave snowy Bucharest. For accessories I chose a multicolored Zara scarf (I think I already told you that I never leave without a scarf, I use it as a blanket, but also to protect me from the light and odors from the plane), sneakers (another option) in the same shades and a few other items that complete outfit.
More details about the outfit here.
The bag contains primarily necessary equipment (laptop, camera, phone, headphones, external battery), and a book, agenda and a „small” makeup kit.
Product Details here.
I keep trying to think how my vacation would look with one piece of hand luggage. I’ve heard of something like this, but I find it impossible. It would be a great challenge for me. You have managed to travel a week with hand luggage only?
Gotta run to catch the second flight, but I hope you’ll guess my destination before I’ll fill Instagram with water, beach & sun. And I promise I’ll take a bit of sun for you too.
Kiss kiss
