What to Pack?!

Overpacking is something I've always done- I always always always take more than I need on any trip. Even when I spent this summer in Washington, DC for an internship, I probably didn't wear half the clothes that I packed. So you can imagine how difficult it was for me to pack enough clothes and other stuff to last me an entire semester while studying in another country!

But somehow, I've done it! I'm flying with Scandinavian Airlines to Denmark, and I'm restricted to two checked bags that have to be 50 pounds or less. And so far, with the help of some plastic bags, I've fit most of my clothes into two bigs suitcases with lots of room to bring back gifts and souvenirs with me. I have a backpack and my laptop bag as carry-on bags for the plane ride. I'm ready to go!

This semester will have so many firsts for me- my first plane ride (first I fly to Chicago, then I have my first flight over the Atlantic to Copenhagen), my first time visiting Europe, my first time writing a blog, and my first time traveling the world! I'm so excited for everything that is to come in the next several months, and I can't wait to write about it. I'm crossing my fingers that there's not too much turbulence on my plane ride and I can sleep during some of the flight. I'm looking forward to spending time with my friend Maria in Copenhagen!

Until next time, ciao!

P.S. I tried to add a picture of my luggage, but couldn't find the picture that I wanted to use, so pictures will come in my next entry, I promise!
