My flight is booked, visa in hand, and I'm nearly packed!
I fly out on August 16th and arrive late afternoon in Seoul on the 17th. I will be flying with Jetblue and Asiana Airlines (free alcohol!).
I'm a bit overwhelmed with excitement, nervousness, and the stress of packing of course. I should note that while packing I steered clear from packing items in 4 since the number 4 is considered unlucky in Korea and a few other Asian countries. Below is a list of what I am packing for the next year using 2 checked bags, 1 carry on, and a backpack:
- 1 suit
- 2 casual suit jackets
- 6 business/casual dresses
- 3 long skirts
- 3 knee length skirts
- 5 jeans/slacks
- 2 leggings
- 2 rompers
- 3 shorts
- 2 light cardigans
- 5 yoga pants
- 15 various casual/business tops
- 3 workout shorts
- 5 t-shirts
- 5 long sleeve sweater tops
- 3 camis/tanks
- 3 jackets (warm yet waterproof)
- 10 pairs of shoes (2 running shoes, flip flops, sandals, flats, sperrys, rain boots, warm boots, leather boots, heels)
- 2 scarves
- 1 pair of gloves/beanie hat
- 2 swimsuits
- 22 undies
- 5 bras
- 10 socks
- 5 sports bras
- hair accessories/ jewelry
- Important info folder (various important documents/copies)
- Macbook/camera/ipod
- various chargers/adapters
- alarm clock
- umbrella
- towel
- 3 books
- purse/computer purse bag/cross hiking bag/small camelbak
- gifts for teachers/principles/students (Florida hats, Bath & Body works, small liquor bottles, starbursts, USA pencils, stickers)
- toiletries! (all the normal stuff but extra toothpaste, deodorant, hair detangle, razors, face wash)
Thats about it or close to it at least. I may have either overpacked or simply packed the wrong things who knows! I attempted to pack mostly clothing items that could be used professionally to school but also clothes for the outdoors. The next time I post I'll officially be in Seoul! After 7 months and waiting...I'm finally on my way to Korea!
