Unpacking in Barcelona Today! ✨Here’s 99% of what I carry in my 65 Liter and and 22 liter backpacks where all my belongings tightly fit. A few of the things I didn’t add to the picture are what I was wearing at the moment, my shoulder bag, a book, personal documents, a few bags Fernando had taken to the store, and our laptop and camera which Fernando carries in his bag. Having to carry it all makes me very aware of what’s truly necessary. And it turns out it’s not much! #zerowastetravel Check out my stories to see a breakdown of what every is 📝 Desempacando en Barcelona! ✨Aquí están la mayoría de las cosas que llevo en mis dos mochilas. Faltan mis documentos, un libro, mi bolso, unas bolsas del mandando que se llevo Fernando al mercado, y la computadora y cámara que van en la mochila de Fer. El tener que cargar con todo me ha hecho reflexionar sobre lo que en verdad es necesario. #viajeszerowaste

🍵bringing some lunch for a friend ✨🌱at #sivanis, #satyoosh 🥒🥕🥑Trying out my new take away Indian containers 🤗👌scroll to see how nice is the lunch box when closed! There is even a very nice Indian movie called the "the lunch box" ⭐️👏🍽 So I try to have them always in the car and with me when we go out, as my boyfriend always eats half his meals and takes away the rest for later 🙂of course I ended up with some aluminum containers in the past, I use them to plant some seedlings!
