Germany, here I come.

Here's my wishlist for YWAM. Obvi, all of this isn't going to happen, but a girl can dream right?

Nikon FM10 analog camera.

A new camera backpack... Complete with a loptop sleeve, room for 2 cameras, and a rainproof cover. The canvess-ness gives it such a free-spirit feel. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but that's why I like it, on top of the fact that it looks super functional, especially with the straps on the side for a tripod.

This Mod camera strap for my D90 and this one for my FM10. My cousin's friend had one of these and they seem amazing. Plus, super cute!! Can you go wrong?? nope.

A leather photo album to take pictures of everyone I love back home. I know this one is outrageously expensive, but I just love it's rustic/vintage feel!

Possibly, an internal frame backpack.. I don't know if I for sure will need it, but they say to pack one just in case. Just in case?? It's such a huge item, it's not like I can just toss it in, but we'll make it work somehow. Can I just admit how much I don't know about these either... This might surprise some of you, but I'm not an outdoor girl (shocker, I know) and I've never been back packing, so I'm kinda lost in the world of good backpacks. I just like the color of this one. Pitiful, I know. My problem is carrying this with a camera backpack is going to be difficult because, you know, I only have two arms and one back (another shocker)!

A hardshell case to protect the Mac... it's like my baby.

While we're on the Mac train... lets just add an iPhone to the list. 32G in white, thank you very much! Yes, if you're wondering, I do live in my own fairy tale land... it's called the Land of Christina.

This massive LL Bean rolling duffle and maybe a medium that doesn't roll. Both in Gold and complete with my name... let's just hope I'll be able to carry it all after they're stuffed with 6 months worth of crap. btw... how are you supposed to pack for 6 months and 2 different climates?! Absurd.

A Northface Fleece Jacket. I know, everyone has these, but people have them for a reason... they're wonderful.

Snowboots. Check out the average highs/lows in Herrnhut. burrrr.

A sleeping mat and bag.

New Sunnies. I think these wayfarers have been on every wishlist I've made on this blog, and somehow they always get cut out of the budget. Well, NO MORE, I say. No. More.

I think that's all the fun (and not so fun) stuff. Of course, I have to get plug adapters, and stock up on 6 months worth of foundation, mascara, eyeliner, possibly shampoo, deodorant, and all that good stuff. I never thought about how daunting the task of packing for this trip would be. But who are we kidding, it'll all be worth it in the end.

I'm going to europe... I'm going to europe.... I'm going to europe.
...in nine weeks and two days.

ps.. it was recently brought to my attention (again) that women in Europe don't shave. I wonder if I should live like the natives? Again, who are we kidding here...shaved legs 4 lyfe.

haha wonder where you heard about the shaving thing ;)

You may have thought of it already...but be sure and put any liquids (shampoo/lotion) in zipper bags so they don't explode all over your stuff!

oh, and a search for snow boots women on Amazon:
