Now this was a hard one, and I haven’t even started physically packing yet but here goes! My last venture to a foreign country left me in a mad packing daze in which I forgot various items which were vital to the trip. I finished university and then was on a flight to Thailand within 24 hours. This time I am spending two weeks packing and taking the time to think about it more, especially as this time it is for three months. First thing to remember, I will be packing mainly for summer weather; however, as we land in New Zealand in their winter we are going to take winter kit and essentials too.
