Down To The Very Last Minute.

by | Jun 10, 2011 | Pre-travel Preparations, What to Pack | 3 comments

The last exam of my first year of medical school ended 8 hours ago ago, which means I just started packing 3 hours ago. So what do you bring when you’re on the road in 15 countries for 2+ months?

And voila: my mobile bedroom for ~60 days.

I’m out of the house early tomorrow morning. Going out to celebrate my last night in NYC for a very long time (but hopefully not too long)! If you’re reading this, please make sure I get on my airplane tomorrow.
