As someone who doesn't like too much luggage, because I can't find myself carrying heavy things up and down, especially at the park or airport. Paying extra and haggling over the price with them can be exhausting at times.
So as a minimalist, I usually like my things organized and well arranged no matter where I'm traveling.But before I dive into the topic proper, before I travel, depending on where my destination is, which is the main factor that I do consider before packing my bags.
What is the main reason I am going to this place? Is it for work, vacation, to help a sick relative, or to find a job? After considering this factor and determining my primary motive.
I set out for the bag that contains everything that I will be needing because I can't afford to carry two bags with the struggle and weight. After that is sorted out, the first thing I will put inside the bag is my underwear. I remember going on a journey to another state that would take up to a month. I was in such a hurry as the preparation for that travel was urgent.
I forgot to pack my undies, toothbrush, and some other essential things. So since that incident, it has become the first thing I do. Next is my toothbrush, followed by my toiletries, which consist of my roll-on, body spray, body mist, cream, face cleanser, and some other important things too.
Next, the next thing is to put in my clothes: skirts with matching tops, trousers, gowns, towels, sponge, sweaters. I can predict the weather there, nightwear. I do take a wrapper because I usually catch cold easily, and I don't know if there will be a duvet where I'm heading. After the clothes, I put in my shoes: heels, slippers, and canvas. Then in goes my handbag, not more than two.I put my Bible, laptop, power bank, and my writing materials.
If what I went for is work, I will have more corporate clothes and a few outfits for outings. But if it's for vacation, then no corporate attire at all except for church, casual clothes, shorts, and if it's for visiting a sick relative, a face mask is needed because hospitals have a strange smell before anything else.
These are my essentials. I have all of these, so if anything I brought along finishes, I can use the empty container to look for it.
