i never knew i could feel this way

About Me

33 lbs. that is all the i packed for six months in antarctica (minus my carry-on). i am apparently very, very low maintenance. all that i regret is not packing more than one pair of shoes but that's okay. i have already acquired two pairs from the free bins down here on the ice. i also forgot a comb but i took care of that in new zealand. 33 lbs is easily half or less than what others packed. i feel very accomplished.
