Backpacking Through Europe Mega Resource Guide

There is! Backpacking Europe is no easy feat. You could just roam around and go with whatever happens, and that’s cool too. But if you are on a short budget and need to be back home in a couple weeks, you want to do it properly.
And that means maximizing your time.

So plan plan plan! The useful links here will help you. Good luck!

Thanks Kim. I put a lot of work into it.

Hey Sammi,

I’d consider getting a backpack that you can carry onto the airplane over a large one. It will be easier to carry around (obviously) and you save on any luggage fee’s your airline could charge.

With a smaller backpack, you’ll want to PACK LIGHT! bring just enough clothes. You’re in Europe, and there are tons of shopping opportunities (cheap ones, too!)

Bring multi coloured clothing that you would wear any day of the week. And a few bottoms that you can rotate. With just 3/4 tops and bottoms, you have enough clothes to look different for more than a week.

All you gotta do is pack small detergent packages to wash your clothes in a sink and you’re set. It’s way cheaper than using the wash in hostels.

Start going through the links in this backpacking guide. I know it’s a lot of reading but it will help you tremendously.

Good luck sammi!
