Packing List for the Traveling Therapist
I have searched for a good list and have yet to find one. I think I may have had a dream about one, that's how badly I wanted this to happen. So now I must devote my time to thinking about what to pack if going on an assignment to an unfurnished apartment.
I am in the process of packing up my apartment, so this is the time to think about what to put in a tubberware container. Then if I take a job and get an unfurnished apartment then I will be prepared and hopefully won't have to rent any furnishings. I am going to be super detailed because I plan to print this off and use this list as my checklist. Hope you can too!
Bedroom:
- Air mattress
- Foam Topper
- Sheets
- Fleece Blanket
- Pillow
- Pillowcase
- Laundry basket

- Silverware (if you need-- or you can get some plastic, although the environment probs says no)
- Coffee Appliance (COFFEE. COFFEE. COFFEE.)
- Travel Mug
- Coffee Mug for at home
- Pot (big enough to make everything you want, but small enough to not take up room)
