A list of things to pack when you travel.

You know what I hate most about travelling?

The "I think I forgot something" feeling that bugs you up to the time you board the plane.

This used to annoy me more last time, now I just look in my bag and tell myself  
"passport, ticket, phone, wallet..got all? okay that's all I need"
because everything else is probably not as important. Unless I forget to bring something vital like...underwear.

I'm packing for Shang Hai now. I know I know, I feel like a frequent traveller.
I wasn't planning to stay in Perth for so long. #fwp

So anyway, here's a list of things to pack for when you travel!
For my convenience and anyone else who's reading this. :)

Underwear tip : Haha! Okay this is how I pack my underwear/count how many I need.
The days you're going times 2. Two because you bathe everyday (I hope)
Plus 1 more, just in case.

Lets say you're going for 4 days. So it's:
4 (days) x 2 = 8 pairs
8 pairs +1 (in case) = 9 pairs

Better more than less right? right!
Obviously if you're going away for a month you don't pack 60 pairs of underwear la.
Applies for short trips.
