I was reminded on a recent road trip how important it is to slow down sometimes and just be. When you’re in touch with your sense of self, you can relax into comfort more quickly. Appreciate the moment, because it’s actually all we really have.

This is the final post on the challenge I set myself to travel Europe with just carry-on luggage and includes a snapshot of every outfit I wore.

The photo is actually a shot of all the clothes I quickly threw together for a 10-day road trip up the east coast of Australia. Despite having plenty of space in the car for my stuff, I still wanted to ensure every item could be worn together so I didn’t have to think about what became dirty and what was still clean – anything I picked up to wear any day co-ordinated.
