Where do I begin?

How do you even begin to pack for four months in a foreign country?

How do you pack for four months period?

What will I need, what will I want, what will the weather be like, should I pack only normal clothes or should I bring some dresses, what if I feel like getting spiffed up (who am I kidding?), should I wait and just buy it when I get there, what if I need that one thing that I forgot.

I hate packing...so this is a nightmare.

I am also a list person, so I tried to start a list of things I'll need...then I realized I don't know anything that I will need.

So I started with the weather. The average temp. during the four months we will be there is in the 70's and 80's. YES!
But wait...it's also Typhoon season...
WHAT EVEN IS A TYPHOON?!

Also, you can only bring two suitcases weighing 75lbs each.
That sounded like a lot until I realized that's pretty much what I packed for our honeymoon.

I think I'll just throw every t-shirt and pair of shorts I own, a rain jacket, and my chacos into a suitcase and go with it.

Oh, and maybe a toothbrush.

  1. You won't need as much as you think! Of course, I'm just basing this off of my Vienna trip, but I only packed one suitcase and still felt like I over packed! I would definitely bring some dresses, because you will want to look nice every once in a while.
