What to pack for Europe- Study Abroad?
-
I'm studying abroad in Copenhagen in May for 6 weeks (I'll be done July 7th) and then I'm traveling around Europe for another 2 weeks (Vienna, Rome, Paris). I have a 34L Deuter pack and I was wondering if I would be able to fit all my stuff in that for the 8 weeks. Or should I pack a suitcase too and just ship it home when I head out traveling. Also, what would you suggest I bring clothes wise. I've been over to Europe before but it was in Southern Europe and in the middle of the summer. So far I have a few quick-drying clothes (shorts, shirt, and jacket). If at all possible, i would really like to only bring my pack and a carry-on. Thanks!

Answer:
I think you will be able to fit everything in what you have. If you bring a suitcase and ship it home it will very expensive. Bring enough clothes for a week at most, usually something like 4-5 shirts, 2 shorts, 1 pants, 1 jacket, 7 underwear, 7 socks etc. remember to count the clothes that you are wearing. I'm sure where ever you are staying there will be a laundry machines there or in the area. I have traveled the world for almost a year with little less than this. For entertainment I would only bring an iPod, laptop, and phone that's it no books (they take up room and are too heavy, plus you can read them on the laptop.) remember to bring your chargers and power converter. if you need more clothes you can always buy cheap ones there and toss it when you leave. to fit everything in try out different ways to fold and pack your clothes and you will be fine. just make sure you have several ways to access money cuz money will buy anything you might be missing ;)

Bring your laptop and maybe a pad and writing stuff for your studies. And bring clothes for about 10 days (i.e. 10 shirts, 3 pairs of trousers, etc.) Google for a laundromat in Copenhagen now, and google for laundromats in some of the cities you are planning to travel to later. If you do your washing once a week, you'll be fine. Buy a cheap clothes iron in Copenhagen when you arrive - of course not a new one, but something from a flea market or a used goods shop. You can take it with you to the other countries in Europe, but don't take it back home with you. Don't ship any suitcases, this will be so very expensive. It would probably be cheaper to buy all the things in them once more ;-)
