Packing for Nowhere in Particular

Packing for Nowhere in Particular

The trips that turn into stories are rarely the ones you overplanned. They're the ones where you said yes to a detour because your bag could handle it.

Pack fewer pieces that do more. A jacket that handles wind and a light rain. A tee that doesn't wrinkle in the bottom of a bag. Layers that mix and match so five pieces become nine outfits.

And leave room for whatever you pick up along the way, and for the version of the trip you didn't plan for.
