prep work

Because I'm so free on a Sunday (technically, it's Monday already), I decided to take photos of what I'm bringing to Bali.

It's a short trip, so I can afford to not bother with the principles of mixing and matching and bring an outfit for each day. Nonetheless, when I travel, I usually pack with an outfit in mind for each day - it's the only way to make sure I pack very little and get the most wears out of each item.

I had planned to just dive and laze around getting massages for the next few days, but as I may be required to participate in some of the planned activities (long story), I felt obliged to pack the "comfortable shoes" and some comfortable clothes (T-shirt and hard-wearing shorts) as advised. Here are my most well-worn Onitsuka Tigers, the oldest in my collection and one I refuse to part with because it has crossed a few continents with me -

The swimsuit and flip flops, of ultra importance of course -

Everything else is comfort clothing - I'm not big on getting dressy at the beach because all I do is swim, sleep, and dive, so actual clothing is besides the point.

I also pack a scarf in case for some reason, I need to keep warm. This one, the colour of a sunset - purchased in Nepal - seems appropriate for an island famed for its sunsets -
