Packing for Vacation: Are you an ‘Over Packer’ or ‘Minimalist’?

Talking vacations today on the 92 Moose Morning Show.  One of the big hassles is packing!!  Are you a minimalist or do you need a trunk for a long weekend?

Me? I am more of a minimalist.  I like being able to pack in a backpack when possible.  I have had my luggage lost a few times so having my stuff with me makes me feel better.  In a world of ever increasing fees for luggage, a simple backpack can be a good thing.

But what about vacation out of a large purse!?

I was inspired by this post of found from Her Packing List.  This woman challenged herself to travel for 3 WEEKS with what she had packed in this handbag and on her body.

Brooke Schoenman did this as a challenge to herself, so she had some ‘rules’.  According to the post:
“To give the packing list a real workout, I wasn’t able to share any items with my boyfriend. If I bought something that wasn’t deemed necessary, I wasn’t allowed to use those items until I returned back to Sydney. Anything else purchased along the way would be disclosed. Toiletries provided at hotels and the AirBNBs were fair game, though.”
