Preparations and Packing: 2 Weeks 'Til Departure!

Although our program isn't requiring us to quarantine before we leave for San Fransisco, I've decided to stay home these next two weeks just to be safe. But don't worry! I have tons planned to fill up my free time.

I quit my part-time job working at Jo-Ann's last week, but before I left I was able to snag some awesome fabric to create a fuzzy tote bag. I love sewing, which is why I'm going to be making my host family a tote bag, too. Except I'm using this super cute California fabric I found at Jo-Ann's.

I'll be sewing this baby during quarantine!

Finally, and most difficult of all, I will be packing!

To be honest, I was a bit overwhelmed with packing. This is my first time being abroad for more than two weeks. Fortunately, I found this website, which gave me a pretty good idea of how much to pack, and made adjustments to accommodate Seoul's colder weather.

I've heard I should pack light, but I'm one of those people that can't stand being under-prepared. However, I'm not stressing too much over packing because I know I'll be able to buy anything I forget in Seoul. Plus, It will give me a great excuse to practice Korean at clothing stores!

UPDATE:

I finished sewing the tote bag! I really hope my host family likes it. I wanted to give them a gift that would be both practical and meaningful!
