RTW: Q’s packing list
A touch of minimalist and a wee bit more than bare bones. I hope you’re not expecting a mini list like Gerard’s. I tend to over pack and then unpack. It’s more of an OCD routine I torture myself with. So far I’ve unpacked more than packed so I’m in good shape — that extra… Read more…
