Since my last venture to a foreign country left me in a mad packing daze in which I forgot socks, toothpaste, jeans and going out shoes, I thought I would actually make a packing list of things I wish to bring this time. That last trip was only 9 days, this one will be 3 months long.

I’m very amazed you made all that fit in those 3 bags lol…

Thinking I would rather go somewhere that is also summer…. hmmm more planning necessary!
I’m so excited for your videos and stuff tho… seeing all the nice summery weather will be a nice change from Canadian winter! :)

This came at the perfect time, I’m preparing for a 4 month study abroad. Infinitely useful!
Glad I could help :)
Yeah Girl!!!!!!!!!
Tiger Lily such a noob.
Hey Nadine!
You should definitely use the mike! You are sometimes a bit hard to understand, especially when there is wind. That packing video made me really excited for the vlogs u are going to make! Have fun and be safe!
zomg! only 1 scarf! ;-)
Have a great adventure Nadine =)
How much it all weight ?
“Underwear(lots)” Don’t forget to turn them inside out for that extra day of freshness! LOL
Have a great trip! :)
Very well thought out- would be interesting if you could follow up after your trip with “things I wish I would have brought” and “things I wish I had left behind” Thanks for sharing–look forward to the videos!!! BYE
This is such a great video! I watched all 21 minutes. I have no idea how I am going to pack for roughly 45 days – I don’t know how you did 90 days. :)
How was 4 pairs of socks enough? Do you wear flip flops a lot?

They’ll move you, if you give them ear, no doubt,
I’m getting ready to live in Spain for 3 months! I can across your packing list and made a few minor adjustments for the region I’ll be living in. Thanks for the list!
Hey Nadine!
I am planning a similar trip in January and this list is super helpful. I will be travelling with the exact same Osprey Ariel pack and am wondering if you were able to carry your pack on or if you had to check it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Sarah
Very informative, thank you!
During your trip, was there anything you wished you had brought?
I’m leaving for a 90-day trip to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji in less than three weeks and would find this information very helpful. Thanks!!
I loveee your blog. Thank you for posting so interesting information. I am going to visit France next week. I am going to follow your method of packing precisely. Thank for sharing it. Greets!
Great information for solo travel
What toiletry bag do you use?
Hey Nadine, loved the video, you are so funny and it’s always helpful to see how other people do it. ( Packing for a 3 month trip)
