Of course I have to do research before I pack. I am a very nervous packer; I tend to overpack and stay up late the night before a trip to put everything in my suitcase. To avoid doing this before the biggest trip of my life, I have compiled a few resources. Some of them are Argentina-specific, others are more general. I have been saving links to Pinterest since last summer.
The good news? Buenos Aires has a much more temperate climate than Maryland! This means that I don't have to pack for extreme weathers. Their summers are relatively cooler (80 degrees instead of 100) and their winters are relatively warmer (40 degrees instead of 20). So I am packing for climates that I am used to (think spring and fall in the mid-Atlantic region).
- Should I Pack It? a flowchart to determine whether or not something should go into your suitcase. If you let this guide your thought process behind packing, you are set!
- How to Fit Your Life into 2 Suitcases I have a lot of stuff, and, depending on how many suitcases I decide to take limited room and only 50 - 100 lbs. worth of weight. The Study Abroad Blog provides helpful tips about how to pack with limited space.
- A very thorough packing list by The Study Abroad Blog. I found this helpful because he includes a suggested quantity. I am getting so tripped up by not knowing HOW MUCH to bring.
- What to Wear in Buenos Aires. Since I have never been there before, I found Travel Fashion Girl's descriptions of what to wear in each season to be very helpful. Now I have a general idea of what I will be wearing and what the weather will be like.
- What is the Weather like in Buenos Aires? I feel like this should be self-explanatory.

Arielle, If the weather is self-explanatory, why are you explaining it? -:)
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. Sounds great! I guess that's why they called it Buenos Aires. Have a great time!
Hi! I need to know what the weather is going to be like so I know what to pack. That was the self-explanitory part.
