We are on a mid-trimester break for the next two weeks. This upcoming break is nothing but busy. I am so excited to share my explorations with you! But before that, I will share with my packing list for the next 5 days. Hopefully this will be helpful to you some day as well!

This is organized by clothes, toiletries, miscellaneous and important items. I will be traveling to Auckland from Wellington. I will be sitting on buses for long hours, hiking, kayaking, and exploring the city. Please stay tuned for trip updates next week!
