What exactly did I have in my backpack? Do you really want to know? Well, here it is! For the record, I did overpack and would recommend packing as light as you can; remember, you're going to be walking all over town with this on your back!
| A closer look at what I brought... |
- 5 pairs of underwear
- 4 pairs of full-length socks and 2 pairs of ankle-high socks
- 2 pairs of shorts
- 1 bathing suite
- 2 pants: 1 corduroy that I could use as a formal wear, 1 pant that could change into a capri by rolling the legs up
- 1 pair of pants that could zip off to become shorts
- 1 black belt
- 2 collared shirts
- 3 t-shirts
- 1 fleece
- 1 wind-breaker
- 1 quick-dry bath towel
- My toiletries that consisted of the basics and a bunch of Allegra (for my allergies that I surprisingly had no troubles with while in Europe), Pepto Bismol, Tylenol, and an H20 mineral facial scrub to keep my face feeling fresh and oil-free… hey, the thing works!
- 1 sandal, 1 flip-flops, 1 casual walking shoes that I used as a formal shoe
- 26 rolls of film

"Is that all?"
No, actually I had a second pack that I used as a daypack and a camera pack. This, I carried on the front of myself while I had my backpack on the back. This pack had miscellaneous items such as:
- Paper & pen
- Let's Go Western Europe guidebook
- 1 disposable camera
- 1 750ml water bottle or 1L juice bottle
- My camera, lenses, and peripherals
