Packing Time

This is a BAD example of packing

If you pack like this, you are bringing WAY to much. Luckily we have backpacks to pack in, but it is still easy to try to fit that amount of clothes into our backpacks. Let me just say that it won't work and if by some way you do fit it in, you better be willing to carry it all around Europe. So to help everyone with their packing here is a list of what you should bring.

Packing

·      If you won't wear it more than three times, don't bring it!

·      Pack light, wash frequently, buy it if you need it

·      Your pack should weigh about 20 percent of your body weight, preferably no more than 20 pounds

A week before your trip, pack your bag with everything you think you want to take, and carry it around for a day. Is it comfortable? Too heavy? Better to know now than later
