What would you pack if you only had 1 small bag to live off for 3 months?

My boyfriend and me are going to Australia’s Gold Coast, in a few weeks for 3 months and I’m starting to think about what I should pack… we are only taking carry-on luggage so only a bag the size or a standard ‘overnight bag’. (I’m taking my Country Road tote if anyone is familiar with that bag size). I have so many clothes and shoes and I know I can’t take them all so I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with what I will use a lot, and what I probably won’t use.. from experience or just imagination… Thanks!

Answer #1

Riversable clothing and a single sarong has multiple uses. The sarong can be worn as a short or long skirt, a dress, a bathing suit cover up, etc and there are Sarong wrap instructions online.

Answer #2

Hey I will be in the gold coast for like three days in January! And as for your carry-on luggage thing, wear lots of clothes on the plane! I always find shoes pretty difficult to pack, so maybe getting sandal-y type shoes that could be worn to the beach or to a club would be a good idea. Also, there are lots of pretty summery dresses around now and they can be worn for day or night.

Answer #3

Deoderant, Hairgel, toothbrush, tooth paste, clothes, boxer shorts, cellphone and off course…..my sunglasses

Answer #4

Yikes, that’s a toughie. One thing to keep in mind if you’re going to have to wash things a lot and wait for them to dry is - synthetic material dries faster than cotton. I love cotton for comfort and would choose cotton clothes above all others but it takes ages to dry.

What about buying a lot of clothes at your new destination and then just mailing them back home when your holiday is over?

Answer #5

I like the buy it there…ship it home. that’s what I’d do.

Answer #6

LOL thanks. When I pack to go anywhere, without fail, 3 times more clothes than I need, have to come with me.
