I went on an 8 day trip to Bosnia and Croatia and this is what I crammed into my bag for my lil adventure.
Where: from London to Zagreb (3 days) and Plitvice Lakes (2 days) in Croatia and Hometown Hill in Bosnia (3 days)
Weather: hot hot hot and also humid, did I say hot already?
Travel clothing on the plane: my standard travel outfit is super comfy jeans, long sleeve top, Nikes.
What you actually packed:
Carry – on suitcase
1 pair of sandals, 1 skirt, 1 pair of jeans, 1 dress, 7 short sleeve tops/t-shirts, 1 long sleeve, 1 cardigan, pyjamas, underwear and socks, the usual toiletries, adapter and converters, chargers and some presents
Totebag
Polaroid camera, 8 packs of films, playing cards, a little bag with travel documents, passport, notebook, pen, 1 pair of sunglasses
Did you wear everything?
I ended up wearing everything, except one shirt that got lost in the pile.
Anything you wished you had brought along?
More socks! I always end up not having enough.
Anything you wished you had left?
No, for a change I had it all sorted, though I wish the polaroid camera had a ‘miniaturise’ button so it would fit in my trouser pocket – please invent this soon!
Did you buy anything while traveling?
Just chocolate. A lot of chocolate
Any advice for travellers going to Croatia/Bosnia?
Bring extra jumpers/long-sleeve tops, especially when you are near the seaside, as despite the glimmering waves and to-die-for sunsets, the temperature does drop in the evenings.
Not specifically for these countries, but bring along items of clothing that can be chucked in a washing machine and have no special care instructions. Don’t bring your favourite items, you don’t want that one top to be destroyed by the washing machine, sweat or sunscreen.
Socks is always a tricky one for me too, I either bring too many pairs or not enough!

you sound like me stocking up on chocolate when traveling 🙂 i think i can rate my favorites from all across the world as a result (and i never even used to be a sweets person!)
