Travel Essentials

We decided not to bring our whole closet to california and rather shop a new one all together ;) So the packing went pretty fast and I couldn't be more proud of myself. I only packed my backpack and a teeny tiny little carry on suitcase! 

In my backpack I'm going to put my new gopro (1) as I want to film some visuals during our trip. My cat wallet (2) of course and some emergency money. I definitely can't leave my swiss passport (3) and my artsy notebook at home! What would I be without them?! - not in california, duh! I never ever leave for a trip without my ricola (4) because my throat always gets very dry and a little sore when flying. Matilda (5), my iPad is my backup and life savior by all means. 
Due to some skin issues I need to carry my eucerina sunscreen (6) with me wherever I go. I get sunburn so easily these days. And last but no least I'll be packing my cosmetic bag (7), which contains my wash lotion, a moisturizer, tooth paste and brush, bobby pins, an invisibobble and my little hair brush (8). And that's about it really.

In my little carry on are lots of underwear, 2 t-shirts, 1 sweater, 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of shorts, my birkenstock sandals, my DSLR and all the charger thingies. You heard me, nothing more! No make up, no optional clothes, no nothing. Travelling should never have been easier or what do you think?

California Road Trip - The Route

My brother and I are going on a road trip through california.

Some of you might know that I used to study in california for almost a year in 2012. During my stay cali became my second home and totally blew my mind with its beautiful scenery and cool vibes. I never fully recovered from leaving. This is why I cannot wait to get back! I'v got butterflies in my stomach ever since we booked our flights in november.

So we didn't really plan our trip other than booking the flight and our first accommodation in San Francisco. Of course we've already decided on the main stops but other than that we pretty much go wherever we want to and stay for as long as our little hearts desire.

So this is the plan:

A: San Francisco | B: Santa Barbara | H: Los Angeles 

D: Las Vegas, NV | E: Page, AZ | F: Grand Canyon, AZ

G: San Diego | H: Los Angeles | not shown: Hawaii

I won't be blogging live about our trip as it seems to stressful and being stressed out is the last thing I would want to feel on this trip but I'm definitely going to upload tons of pictures afterwards. If you want to see some impressions beforehand, you should just go hit that buttons on the right side bar and follow my social media accounts. I'm kinda new to snapchat and as it happens to be with all the other stuff, it's highly addicting! My username's NissyBunique if your interested :)

I'm going to show you my travel essentials in the next blog post which is going up on sunday, so stay tuned lovies!
