This weekend I began the daunting task of putting together a detailed packing list. I have never gone on a trip this long, so my packing list is now a flurry of scribbles and side notes of what to bring. That was my first question: What do I pack? ; which led to other questions such as How much stuff do I really need? Which shoes? Which jeans? What do I pack where? I’m sure whenever you go on a trip you ask yourself the same questions.
First, you need to know what the weather will be like wherever you’re going so you’ll know whether to pack shorts and flip flops or a parka. Then look at how much time you’ll be spending there and what kinds of activities you have planned. On my trip when we’re not rehearsing or playing in a concert we will be sightseeing. I know it screams “tourist” but when you’re walking all day, wear comfortable shoes! I plan to. I have to admit I probably won’t be very fashionable on the trip because all the activities planned leave me with little time to sleep, let alone plan outfits. But I will, on the other hand, look and see how fashionable the British are and I will definitely be coming back with souvenirs. I’ve already started looking into shopping in London. There is an entire street just with designer stores such as Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Burberry…which I will be avoiding unless I want to have no money left to eat. J Also, there is a huge department store called Harrods, as well as H&M, Topshop, and other stores I am looking forward to visiting.
Overall, I am very excited to be a part of such a great opportunity. I have been playing in my school’s band for the past four years, and I am hoping it will pay off. There will be people from all over the world participating in this festival, which means I may get a taste of style from other countries! Wish me luck and stay stylish!
