Packing Tips for a Soul-Searching Journey

Find Yourself and Everything in Your Travel Bag

The success of Hollywood blockbuster movies such as Under the Tuscan Sun, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, and (the infamous) Eat Pray Love, have given rise to a new breed of travelers – the soul-searchers.

Inspired by these movies, soul-searchers quickly dragged their haphazardly packed Travel Bag, hopped on the first plane out – leaving behind the rat race, their broken hearts, and their overprotective mothers – to find themselves in an exotic country halfway around the world. 

But, how can you possibly find yourself if you don’t even know where to find your toothbrush in your suitcase? These tried-and-tested organizing tips guarantee that those going on a soul-searching journey can focus on finding themselves.

Keep Your Travel Bag Light 

And this advice applies to both the literal and metaphorical Travel Bag you’re carrying around with you.

Picture this. You pack your suitcase until you have to sit on it to close it. You now feel like you have everything you need, because, well, you indeed brought everything.

But now, you have this gargantuan suitcase that you have to lug around everywhere, take up flights of stairs, maneuver through the crowd, and get through TSA.

For your literal baggage, clear packing cubes like Junyuan’s Starter Set help you sort through the clutter. The cubes have see-through material that allows you to instantly see what takes up a lot of space in your Travel Bag, which items can go, and which items you truly need.

The same principle easily applies to your metaphorical Travel Bag as well. You have to set clear boundaries on how much space you’ll allow a person or situation to take up in your life.

As the old Chinese saying goes: “You cannot fill a cup that is already full.” In other words, empty your cup. Because in doing so, you will you able to fill it up again. Also, you need extra room for all those sweet souvenirs you’ll buy along your soul-searching trip.

Plan Ahead. But Leave Some Room For Chance.

Planning before going overseas is good.

Planning before a soul-searching trip? Even better.
But planning what’s supposed to be the most unforgettable, life-changing, magical experience you’ll ever have down to the last microsecond? Down to the most trivial detail? Not so much.
If you followed the packing cubes method in Tip #1, trust, that even if you only have an Extra Small Packing Cube with your passport, swimsuit, that book you’ve always promised yourself to read (but never have), your toothbrush, and a bottle of sunscreen – you already have everything you need to enjoy your trip.
Besides, for a trip to be truly life-changing, it needs a good dose of uncertainty. After all, it’s always the unexpected that changes us the most.
