I traveled Europe for 6 months with only 2 backpacks. Here are the items I couldn't live without and the ones I wish I'd left behind.
Briefly

Packing for a six-month journey around Europe required careful evaluation of essentials versus non-essentials. The author reflects on key items that made the trip easier, particularly a portable white-noise machine that improved sleep despite surrounding noise. Additionally, flat travel pouches proved more practical than traditional bulky containers for liquids, allowing for efficient packing and storage. A clever use of a pill organizer for jewelry further underscored the importance of visibility for personal items. However, some items like ballet flats and a bulkier power adapter were deemed unnecessary for future travels.

I deliberated for a good two months about what to take with me and what to leave behind.
