It’s four days before I leave for Florence and I just started to pack! Of course, I had to start by thoroughly cleaning my room, which resulted in the resurfacing of my favorite pair of jeans from high school (and they still fit!). Not only did I find some jeans, but also 2 cardigans which will come in very handy since I’ve read a lot about layering in Europe! Considering I haven’t even left yet, I’m not sure how well I packed, but figured I’d post the links to some blogs and advice I found online about packing.

It really helped me get excited for the trip and about traveling to other countries! I read this for a few hours straight one day and was just totally taken away!
