I would like to start this by saying I really advise you to stay in one place until all of this is figured out a bit more, but for me, staying in one place wasn’t really an option. I live in Rome, Italy, but my permanent residence is in the U.S. That being said, I hadn’t been home in 1 year and 3 months — long story short, I have to take a one-month break from my job once per year and go back to my country. So in December, I hopped on a flight and flew to the U.S.!
So, before I told you how to pack light but NOW I want to tell you how to pack everything you need using as little space as possible. I don’t know about you but when I go somewhere, if possible, like to bring everything I want and need for me to be comfortable.
For my first 8 months of living in Rome I was ballin’ on an intern salary. I was grateful for that, don’t get me wrong, as my organization is the only one in the UN that pays interns anything at all! But it did mean that if I wanted to explore, I was going to need to spend as little as possible. Since being here I have been able to explore some corners of Italy, Spain, France, and Croatia, and I am looking forward to when it is safe to mark more countries and cities off of my bucket list!
