Overpacking.
It may not be a serious problem for most people, but since my nature is nomadic, it carries more weight (literally) than you think.
So a couple of weeks ago I posted a picture of the 15 shoes I was considering taking to Mali, and asked you all to help me choose up to five pairs.
I got many great suggestions and took them into consideration. I took them so seriously into consideration, that I clicked on the links you sent and bought more shoes! Instead of minimizing, I maximized!
So I am leaving in 3 days and below is a photo of the shoes I’ve decided on bringing. Given the recent baggage restrictions on airlines, I am estimating shoes will take up 50% of my weight limit (kind of like how my Manhattan rent took up 50% of my income).
I know I have a pro
Updated list of shoes
blem, but I have atleast 3 good reasons (outfits) to wear with each set of shoes, so I simply cannot justify leaving a pair behind.
What do you think?

Oh you are such a trip. I can tell already that I am going to adore this blog. You and your sister are two peas in a pod. Enjoy your last 3 days here, and travel safe if we don’t hear from you before you leave.

You have a problem, I have a problem…I like to think of it more as an endearing quality.
