How to pack and what clothes to bring to Europe. (Summer)






It is very important to pack the right clothes for a long trip to Europe. I traveled to Europe for about 40 days. Now, when you start packing your suitcase, I highly recommend you leave a few inches of open space for souvenirs. If you have a suitcase that expands, pack with it not extended and still leave a little room. Trust me, I had to purchase a duffle bag in Brussels, Belgium, because I did not anticipate myself purchasing as much souvenirs as I did. I recommend you put jeans and shorts on the bottom of your suitcase. Role t-shits up and place them on one side and fold nice dress shirts up, stacking them on the other. I recommend you put your shoes in a plastic bag so they do not dirty up your clothes. Sandals can also fit well on top. Underwear and socks fit well in the zippered area of a suitcase. I put my toiletry case on top of my clothes as well. All in all, this organization fit well in my 70 liter (79 liter extended) suitcase.
·         2-3 zip up light jackets/hoodies
·         3-4 pairs of jeans
o   I recommend different colors
·         A few (2-3) pairs of shorts
o   A nicer pair and a couple everyday pairs.
·         Your favorite T-Shirts
o   I recommend no school logos            
·         Polos /shirts to go out at night in
·         At least 10 pairs of Underwear + socks
o   Sometimes your laundry situation is unclear.
·         Gym shoes  (make sure you have them broken in)
·         Sandals Reef Sandals
o   Nice because they had a bottle opener on bottom (lots of beer in Europe require one to open)
·         Dresser shoes
