Last year around Christmas I applied to go to Australia in January of 2024. Now, it's only about 2 months away, qnd i can't believe how close i am to going. It's so crazy
For London i'd recommend layering. The weather is so variable so prepare for the cold and wet, but if you use the tube most of the lines aren't air conditioned so you might need to remove layers to counter the body heat of 100+ people per carriage. Oh, you might find you can pack more items if you roll your clothes into cylindrical shapes rather than into the usual recatangles and square shapes. Hope you enjoy London!
If anyone is going to the UK in the Autumn or Winter and you're planning on packing skirts, don't forget pantyhose/tights. Pantyhose in the UK are just known as tights and the UK thickness is measured in deniers. If you don't want to pack them, you can go into an M&S and they offer a wide range of tights at different deniers. I say this as someone who grew up in the UK wearing shorts and skirts all year long. They offer a buffer against the wind on chilly days. Thanks for the video!
For London, I would probably recommend a smart pair of black heels rather than the penny loafers to wear with a dress for functions. Enjoy everything this wonderful city has to offer and take advantage of cheap theatre tickets. It’s a wonderful place though not as pretty and magical as Edinburgh
I’m going to Australia for a YEARR, and I’m leaving g in two weeks!!! I’m so excited, but I’m struggling to figure out how to pack for the weather there
Hey Katie! Thank you for both of your packing videos, they are super helpful! I’m moving to Glasgow in September for my master’s and am curious how you faired with Scotland rainy weather? Did you bring rain boots and a raincoat, and would you recommend?
I’m doing foreign exchange in Caen, France for 5 months. I’m trying to decide which sized suitcase to bring. I’d like to bring a carry on size and my backpack because I don’t want to haul around a huge bag through the airport, on the train, etc. But I’m worried that that’s not big enough, especially if I buy stuff there, so I might have troubles fitting everything in on my way back. But I also don’t want to possibly get a bag checked and then have that lost or stolen. Please help me!
Please don't recommend giant suitcases, because some airlines even for checked baggage have regulations like X+Y+Z shouldn't be more than 158cm, so you couldn't have a giant one but two big ones.

What brand is your backpack? Thanks!
What were the dimensions of your suitcase?

I had a quick question, if you're still answering them. Did you pack any school supplies or did you just buy it when you got there?
Definitely buy them and dont bring them unless you still have space and have nothing else to pack
Can someone explain to me HOW going on exchange works?
