Packing Light for Italy

USA | Saturday, 10 July 2010 | Views [406]

I'm on a mission. In just a few months, I'll be heading to Italy. I've never been there before, and throughout Architectural Studies at Uni, I've always thought of visiting Florence. My mission is to pack all that I will need in a simple, easy-to-carry backpack. No, not a hiking backpack or anything that comes in a kg or lb classification. This backpack will be light. I'm not sure if this mission is even possible or not, but I don't want to lug around a bunch of clothes - clothing makes up most of what we bring, isn't it?

I've done some research. I'm going to bring mostly sun dresses and maybe 2 pairs of capri pants and 3 shirts. Besides this, an additional pair of shoes and some needed toiletries, I will make it work for my 3-week trip.

What are some of the necessities that I must bring?

Over the next few weeks, I'll be putting together my packing list, packing and testing out my packing plan. Later, I'll write about how my plan worked (or didn't work.)

I've always been a light packer. Last time I was in Paris, I had a large hiking pack and it was so cumbersome. There were no lockers, so we couldn't go anywhere! This time, I'm going to pack really light.
