I hate to admit it, but I am a notorious overpacker. I'm one of those travelers who also get stressed leaving behind clothes and accessories I'd like to wear, knowing that I can only rely on a handful of items for a week.
Since island hopping can be unpredictable, and suitcases with wheels are not ideal, I was determined to fit everything into one backpack. Yes, that's right, a Jansport school backpack, not your average "backpacker" backpack (I'm sorry, I know they're probably very practical and all, but they are ugly and scream guiri).
I am happy to say that not only did I pack a variety of outfits, I was able to fit them all into the Jansport!
Here's the breakdown:
I've realized that the key is to stick to one color scheme. I chose white, red and black with touches of purple. Accessories in nude tones work with everything. As you can see in the photo, the elephant pillow I bought in Thailand last year was the inspiration for this pallet.

As they say, nothing is impossible!
Well that's it for now, since the plane is leaving! Zài jiàn Shanghai!
