Packing - the nightmare of travel

Is there anything that stresses you out about traveling?

for me it was:

did I take everything?
Are you sure I haven't forgotten anything?

I love traveling, it's a driving force for my development, it charges me with energy and allows me to break away from the rigid routine of activities - which, as we know, bury creativity - but how many times have I landed at the end of the world with a suitcase barely closed (at least 23 kg always, and it often happened that I was seriously overweight and stressed... they ask me to pay extra or maybe they will be loved... so when I finally landed with this excess luggage, it turned out that I took the wrong thing, but what I really needed... I don't have it, and what I do have - it completely doesn't fit! And suddenly annoying questions appeared, like: how did I wear this before? How on earth did it work? Well... when you're at home and you have your wardrobe stuffed to the brim, you always "add" something to your current mood, and if you're a bit creative, you "spice it up a bit" with a belt/scarf or shoes and it goes away... you don't completely drown out your dissatisfaction, but at least you acknowledge it you'll powder... and go out in public :)

and on the trip?

there is no emergency closet

you only have a suitcase and next to it you feel naked... because it brutally discovers that NOTHING FIT HERE...

and that's how HISTORY began

an orderly functioning system :)

Where:

everything fits together
everything makes sense
you can take everything with you everywhere

and now specifically what to do to:

be sure you have everything?
be sure you remembered everything?

A. Describe the journey:

Specify Intention/Purpose of Travel:

This is very important! And it's deeply enlightening, and the contents of your suitcase will make perfect sense from this. For me, every journey is, above all, an intention. Know that every journey is a metaphysical movement – if you express your intention, you can transform and improve much in your life through travel (if you're interested in deepening this thread of knowledge, let me know and write to us: ...)

2. Travel destination:

What exactly is this place?

big city / small town / stay in the bosom of nature - this determines: how and what you will use to get around - it matters whether by metro, taxi, bike, on foot, on horseback or by boat

3. Air temperature:

check the weather, precipitation and winds - this is important if your travel activities do not include emergency running around the shops :) and I will tell you that it is a waste of time to run after something that is missing (you know how it ends :) with one-time use :) - it is definitely better to chill out and walk around, learning about regional specialties and expanding your narrow-mind :))

4. Duration of stay:

Write down how many days and nights you'll be away - it matters! How many dinners will you go to? How many breakfasts can you oversleep? Because that translates into how many dresses you'll wear.

5. Accommodation:

It doesn't matter where you sleep - a 5* hotel, an AirBnB apartment or a room at a friend's - it matters from the level of: is there an iron? :) laundry service? (or a large enough sink?:)

6. Planned activities

and the point: what exactly are you planning to do?

list your activities step by step - if it's a business trip: list those that are necessary and those that are not necessary for your job but are necessary for YOU

B. List the types of clothes you need

(to realize your fulfilled journey - clothes must match your activities so that you can experience 98% satisfaction

(where are these 2%? you leave them for space outside your plan, allowing for the "randomness" of events that are the key to why you actually left :) - but I will write about these 2% in another post, on another occasion :)

and here I share with you - my real example of how to write a suitcase plan:

(Do you want these forms ready to print? (write to us - we will send them for free :)
