How I packed for 3 months in 1 carry-on

I used to be that person that packed 2 checked bags for a month trip (i know, crazy). That was me 2 years ago. Just last week, I came back from a 3 month trip where I only brought 1 carry on (huge progress, i know). So how exactly do I pack for so long in such a small bag? Here are some tips:

Be realistic: yes it would be nice to bring those heels to go out in, but are you actually going to use them more than once? These are the kinds of questions you need to ask yourself when you are packing. If you are bringing things to match a certain outfit, or for a special occasion, DON’T PACK THEM!

Weather: If it’s summer time, It’s super easy to do this. All you really need are a couple shorts, tanks and maybe summer dresses. If it’s cold, you’ll want to pack layers, and wear you thick layers on top

Bring your favorite clothes: what clothes do you not mind rewearing? You’ll rewear most of your clothes, likely more than 10 times. But don’t worry, there’s laundry everywhere!!

Laundry: as mentioned, you can do laundry! Many people forget this also exists outside of your home! You don’t need to bring 90 pairs of underwear, bring 10 and do laundry every week.

Shoes: shoes take up SO much room. I only brought 3 pairs of shoes: a pair of flip flops, running shoes, and white sneakers that go with every outfit
