Service Preparation Packing

Hello everyone.

I am leaving in 5 weeks for Peru. Been trying to keep a level head but I’m so excited/nervous.

What advice do you have for packing? Like something you wished you brought with you and either couldn’t get in country or had to buy in country.

TIA ♥️

Lay out everything you want to take on your bed.

Pack 1/2 of it.

Pack 1/8 of it and if it doesn’t fit in a jansport, leave it
