What Should You Pack?

What you bring on your backpacking adventure is critical. You will be living out of a backpack for many weeks and you don't want to bring too much or too little. This fact possibly makes packing the hardest part of planning for Europe. In addition, you need to pack differently for summer than winter, for travel through Norway or Greece, and for the type of travel (hiking, camping, staying in hostels). These factors along with others make packing unique to everyone. However, there are still general guidelines and checklists that you can follow.

I have compiled together the lists from these 4 sites and added some items to my personal packing checklist. This list may seem long but some of the items are optional. A good philosophy to follow is "Pack everything you think you will need, and get rid of half." As a final note Magellan's has a great selection of travel necessities and gadgets. Now that I know what I am going to bring to Europe, I can pick out a suitable backpack.
