And Another Thing…

“Apparently” some readers where disappointed by my “Living From A Suitcase” post. “Apparently” I didn’t divulge enough information. “Apparently” some people are just never happy. But one aims to please, so here I am again.


Last year, on the 14th of May, our family of three took our saving of £1255, packed a bag each, to move 1814 km from Finland to England. This is what I packed in my bag.

1 Suit
3 Boxer Briefs

3 Jeans
4 Long-sleeved Shirts

Zassenhaus Brasilia Burr Grinder
Bialetti Moka Express
Capere Stainless Steel 20ml coffee spoon
Stainless Steel Milk Foaming Pot 350ml
One Chopstick (I’ve used it since Day 1 and infused it with the flavour profile of every coffee I have ever had)

Wacom Graphire 4XL
2 Zen Stone MP3 Players (Though I’m not sure why I took these with me)

…

And in a few weeks we’re going back to Finland to visit friends and family. But since we’re of course not moving like we did last time I figured I can probably get away with packing even lighter. So, having ordered two cabin bags from Ebay — one for me and one the missus — that arrived yesterday, I think it’s only fitting that I write down what I plan on taking with me for our two week stay in Finland.

Apparel

2 Trousers

4 Pair of Black Socks

I feel like I might be forgetting something though. Yes? No?
