Favorite Scarf
I got my partner a crown-themed scarf from Iceland, but she never liked it much, so I stole it. I'm taking it with me because it will be chilly

As always, trying to pack light and just take the essentials. Will wash clothes whenever is needed.

Planned Purchases
Updated Airpods Pro
It's very easy to sell my current pair in Brazil, so I'm getting the 2.0 version there.
Update: got it
USBC BT Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro
I was unlucky with my purchase of an HHKB early this year (I was supposed to get the latest version but got the micro USB one), so I'm going to get the latest one and sell this one.
Update: Couldn't get it. Next time
Looking For
Very comfy PJs
Update: Find exactly what I wanted, in the form of Jambys
New battery that charge macbooks
Update: got it — Mophie's Powerstation Pro XL
Bonus
I made a spotify playlist with relevant songs
