Daily Necessities
We can usually remember to pack toothpaste and pajamas, but there are a few things often forgotten by new backpackers. Make sure to bring a light raincoat or poncho, since soaking wet clothing won’t be too fun to put on the next day. Also, if you plan to stay in hostels, make sure to bring a bike lock (so you can chain your backpack to your bed) and a twin-size sheet (to cover the mattress). Most expert travelers recommend a money belt, since pickpocketing happens to a lot of tourists who aren’t used to protecting themselves from this crime.c
Electronics
Fuel
Since you will be spending a lot of your time on foot, your body will require more fuel than it does on days that you are sitting at your desk at work. You can pack healthy snacks, such as trail mix, nuts, and granola bars, or you can stock up once you arrive at your destination. Either way, make sure you have plenty of munchies in your daypack, so that you will be able to refuel at all times during the vacation. You might also want to pack a water bottle with a built-in filter so you can stay hydrated.
Means to Document the Journey
You might think you will never forget your experiences, but as time goes on, you will inevitably forget details, and memories will become foggy. Pack a lightweight journal and pen so that you can record what you see, smell, taste, and experience every day of the journey. This will be fun to look back on and reminisce, and reliving your trip will also be a unique way to be remembered by yourc posterity.
Emergency Supplies
Don’t forget to bring a basic first-aid kit, so that you can clean and bandage any scrapes or cuts. This can help prevent infection and other bigger health problems, which can make you cut your trip short or have to visit a hospital in an unfamiliar place.
Backpacking is a great way to see the beautiful European sights, and as long as you bring the necessities, you can enjoy the trip without the frustration of forgetting something.c
