The Unprepared Traveller

When I was travelling in Hawai'i, I noticed my packing system wasn't the best. I am a chronic over-packer (thanks, Mum!), but I also seem to leave the most important bits out. (I didn't take fins when I went snorkelling in deep water. I realised I could have benefited from some advice. My Generalised Anxiety Disorder results in me over-packing, over-worrying, freaking out about the tiniest things,

and constantly feeling as though I am underprepared. If you feel the same way and have some suggestions for how to deal with it, I'm all ears! This blog is all about how my trips go and what I wish I knew I needed before I went in. You'll often see cameos from babs, my understanding, wonderful partner whom puts up with me at the worst of times and shares our countless journeys. He also takes most of the photos I use. You can check out some more of his photography on Instagram: . If you've got any questions, feel free to contact me. Happy preparing x
