Packing Adventure!

Here I am, sitting in my rent room looking at the pile of clothes and stuff lying around my floor. Being away for a semester abroad is definitely a new thing for me. Once a year I will pack for getting back to my hometown, I bring a medium suitcase and a backpack, almost every year like that. Now, I need to decide which shirts, or simply which jeans I will take with me for my study. I have to fill my Delsey medium suitcase and a backpack for a five months travel abroad. See? It will be crazy. 

Hola! Actually, those line already expired since I am in Spain now! I haven't finish the post before take off to this beautiful city of Castellon.

So, that is the list of things I put on my suitcase, backpack, and sling bag. I am glad I bring some of my small hanger, so I could wash and hang things on it. I regret, I do not bringing much spices, snacks, and other foods from Indonesia because you know what even though the price of groceries here are affordable for European city and there are a lot kinds of yogurt, milk, butter, cheese, and bread. You will still wanted to feel the taste of your home town so bad (I already spent 4 days here and I want to eat Nasi Puyung so bad!) I am glad I bring some of my organizer box, so that when I unpack some of my necessities, I could put them nicely. :)

I do not pack so many clothes, it is only taken a half of my suitcase. There are some other stuff I decide to throw out of my suitcase the last minute before I go, it gives more space for things I probably bring back home later on (yay!)  I suggest you bring power strip, so that you could charging some of your electronics at the same time. I manage to put all of the stuff in my bags, thanks to Ziploc bags!, there are vacuum bag out there of course with more expensive price if you prefer, but the regular Ziploc bag help me a lot to save space and organize my suitcase. It is so bad that I do not take the picture of my suitcase after I put all of my stuff. Maybe I will update the post, when I pack home (still in January though :p)

Good luck on your packing adventure!
