John Locke tells us that all men are endowed with certain natural rights, those of Life, Liberty, and Property. And we love Property. Whether from late night infomercials or antique shopping, we are all material girls. We surround ourselves with X-Boxes and Labubus and clothes; especially clothes. And when we venture out of our homes there is always the debate of what Property to bring – do I need a water bottle? An umbrella? My entire library of books? And then there comes a vacation, where we venture away for days or weeks. What am I going to feel like wearing eight days from now? How do I filter my possessions? Why should I suffer through not having all of my comforts just to experience another culture? Free yourself from your worldly chains with Mat and Veronique as we relive the immigrant experience of dragging everything we own across the Atlantic through the panicked anxiety of Overpacking!



*Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble.

Overpacking

Wanderlust is embedded into the human DNA. It is as much a part of us as thirst or hunger, and just as powerful a motivator. Humanity did not cross the Bering Strait because Asia ran out of space, we crossed because it was there. We spread across the world like a global pandemic, and now that we have airplanes, that pandemic has become airborne. Travelers traverse everywhere, and thus citizens of foreign lands need a place to put all these explorers. Just like airports have customs lines, and the Everglades has Alligator Alcatraz, popular cities have Tourist Traps. Some random, worthless artifact is given Can’t-Miss status and these groups flock to line-up and self-contain. But if your goal is to explore a new city, why waste time taking a selfie at the most photographed places in the world? Blend in with Mat and Veronique as we seek out new life and new civilizations by boldly going where everyone else already lined up for Tourist Stuff!
