Live From the World Yo: Balkan Baddie Packing with BeSeeingTheWorldYo

For my summer Balkans trip to Albania and Macedonia, I challenged myself: carry-on only — but still wanted to feel cute, flirty, and prepared for anything. Between beach days, hikes, city strolls, and wedding vibes, I had to get strategic.

Here’s what I packed:

• A few versatile dresses
• Trail runners + 3 pairs of sandals
• Crop tops, a t-shirt, swimsuits, and a PJ set
• A leather jacket and a lighter one, because who knows what nighttime will feel like — humid or breezy?

I was also really glad I packed:

• 🦟 Bug repellent wipes — Albania has its share of mosquitos, especially near the water. Leftovers from my honeymoon came in clutch.
• 🏖 Water shoes — Albanian beaches = stunning, but also rocky. These are a must if you don’t want to hobble into the sea.

Check out my color-coded packing list above for the full breakdown — bold, bright, and carry-on friendly 💼 and pin it to your Pinterest Board now!P.S. I filmed myself packing for this trip—chaos, debates, and dance moves included. If you’re curious (or just want to see what made the cut), you can watch the video at 2x speed for maximum efficiency. It’s like speed-packing… without the jet lag. ✈️💃🎒
