Maddies packing tip:
the weather changes often going up the coast so you'll need to prepare for a few different climates!! be sure to pack a jacket for sydney because the evenings can be a little chilly, pack lots of swimwear as you'll have so many opportunites to be the pool or beach and make sure to pack reef safe factor 50 suncream! it get's HOT!!
Suggested cube colour:
green apple for the east coast surfer beach vibe!!
italy rome - sorrento
🍝 italy – maddie's favourite for food, fashion & culture
italy is having it's moment this year and it's been a personal fav of both maddie and gals who travel for years!! explore the rich history of rome, the foodie hotspot of naples before heading along the almafi coast to sorrento and capri!! see the colosseum, hike the path of the gods, wine taste at the bottom of mount vesuvius, and take a chairlift to see capri from above, an incredible 8 day adventure!!
Maddies packing tip:
travelling in italy means trains, a lot of walking and not a lot of room for big bags galssss!!! we recommend packing only as much as you can carry (one handbag and one carry-on should be enough) &&& use packing cubes to stay organised and compress your clothes to save space
Suggested cube colour:
citron yellow!! perfect for euro summer.
