The hardest thing to do before going somewhere is to make up a list of things to bring and pack them in an undersized bag. I had the same problem every time I was going somewhere until I realized something: I don't need all this shit. I made up a list of things I usually pack, and thought about how often I use all those things, and why. The list came down to this:
- Two pairs of socks
- Two pairs of underwear
- One shirt
- One t-shirt
- Toothbrush
- ~20ml of Toothpaste
- Other hygiene equipment (e.g. perfume, deodorant, hair wax, electric/disposable/straight razor + foam)
- Passport
- Credit/Debit card + money
+ The clothes you're wearing when you leave.
This all fits in a very small bag and is perfect for both shorter and longer trips. For the longer ones, bring some washing powder or, if possible, rent a washing machine. Really, nothing more is needed and you'll feel relieved. Remember, this packing list is for those trips where you don't hike and spend a lot of time in the woods or in the mountains (well, you know). For trips like that you're going to need a whole different mindset when packing your bag. Read more about that over here.
