How does one pack for a potentially two year adventure that spans from incredibly cold Warsaw and Beijing to the very warm Taiwan to professional internships to farm work to attending classes? I don’t think I really can, but I can certainly attempt to. One large suitcase stuffed full of clothing and one Osprey backpack half full of everything else I could possibly think of and I keep having to remind myself that I can buy X-Y-Z once I get there. I still have a visa and several errands to take care of, but I am no longer feeling nervous about leaving. For some reason, after my graduation party I felt ‘zen’.
