I've packed my life into two suitcases and a backpack and moved to another country in the middle of a pandemic.
When I lived abroad in Singapore as a student, I waaayy overpacked (I brought two huge bottles of Head & Shoulders as if shampoo and conditioner weren't available 😅). Thankfully that experience gave me insight on what NOT to do when moving to another global north country.
I actually managed to fit most of my original list of items into the medium suitcase! Which is why I brought so many snacks hehe 😋
I'll definitely need to get more clothes for work. I'm planning to wear my business suit for the first few weeks (pretty standard for professionalism in Japan), but after that the dress code will (hopefully) be more relaxed. My co-ALTs recommended that I get Crocs for my indoor school shoes!
Let me know what you would add/subtract from my list!
