I love to travel. I hate to pack and unpack. It feels that I’ve spent most of my life packing or unpacking a suitcase.<\/p>\n
My parents separated when I was young, so I went back and forth between them. I left a lot of items at my dad’s, but not clothes. I’d pack Friday evening, unpack Friday evening, repack on Sunday and unpack again Sunday. Twice a month.<\/p>\n
Through high school and c\u00e9gep, I packed and unpacked to go to dad’s, to work (where I often would spend the weekend), to travel.<\/p>\n
In university and college, I’d pack and unpack to visit my folks and my friends. Same thing since I started to work full-time.<\/p>\n
Then I started to travel again.<\/p>\n
Pack. Unpack. Repack. Reunpack.<\/p>\n
I always check my packing list, but it’s a crutch. I don’t need one, just reminders of unusual items I need to bring.<\/p>\n
It will be so nice to have a house on wheels, to be at home wherever I go, to put away the suitcase and bags for a while, to spend more time seeing and doing than sitting on a suitcase filled with all the stuff I might or might not need for the traveling I’m doing while praying that it’ll zip shut without bursting.<\/p>\n
