All My Bags are Packed…

When it came to packing, it was me being me – a minimalist! Years ago, “Repacking Your Bags” by Richard Leiter, was an impactful resource when a major life transition required reflection and change.

His life tips prevented me from becoming an emotional and materialistic hoarder. Leiter’s work outlined clear distinctions between wants and needs. Every significant life change over the past 25 years resulted in downsizing possessions and removing emotional and mental clutter capable of paralysis.

That carryover made packing for this trip easy – one extra pair of pants, shorts, three tees, one dress shirt, four changes of briefs and socks, rain parka, a single Euro adapter and basic toiletries placed in a hangable toiletry bag were all I needed heading out the door. The smaller backpack stuffed inside the larger one was always ready for daily walks.
