I don’t know why, but while putting together a soundtrack for my upcoming summer vacation… it ends up being impossibly long.

Packing panic
It’s rather strange. I’ve spent so much time planning this trip – it’s been in the works for 2 ½ years now – that it was only last week that I realised it was time to start packing.
World Championships: Spain vs. Switzerland
