Despite my incessant love for travelling, packing for the travel really unnerves me.
I am a nervous packer
I get sweaty palms, crazy mood swings .. you name it… I am it.
And packing shoes is one of the most difficult ordeals of them all. So here are few hacks I have garnered over the years…

1st… Pick and pack the sturdy ones only. As in love, only pick the sturdy ones.. the hot ones will only stay this season and will leave even before you know it.
I wish I could rewind my body clock and provide this newfound wisdom to my younger self. Alas! I’ll just have to pass it to my daughters.. or become one of those irritating Aunties when I grow old(Lol!)

2nd… Pack comfy & fresh socks as always!
 A good pair of socks will help prevent blisters, stop odour, and always and always keep your feet comfortable. This is a no-brainer really! While hiking those mountains or scaling flee markets your feet would crave for support and aeration. Never risk it with Roman Sandals.

3rd.. should actually be 1st one… Always make a Packing List
I keep an ongoing list of all the items to pack whilst gearing up for the big move. For example, sunscreen, bathing suits, portable charger, SOS medicines, mini-sewing kit. Very easy to move them into those mini- hotel dressers later. You see old habits die-hard.

As in life, always start a new journey with less baggage, both literal and emotional.
