"I took a six-month trip around Europe and only brought two backpacks with me. I'm glad I packed things like a portable white-noise machine and flat travel pouches. Next time, I'll leave my ballet flats and bulky power-strip adaptor at home. Packing for a six-month trip around Europe wasn't easy. I deliberated for a good two months about what to take with me and what to leave behind. Since I only had two backpacks, I had to be picky about what I brought."
"Now that I'm back home, I'm able to reflect on the items I took with me. Here are the three things that now have a permanent spot in my luggage and the two that won't make the cut next time."
Packing for a six-month trip around Europe required two months of deliberation and strict selection because only two backpacks were allowed. Essential items that earned permanent spots in the luggage included a portable white-noise machine and flat travel pouches that saved space and improved organization. Bulky or unnecessary items proved dispensable, with ballet flats and a bulky power-strip adaptor marked as items to leave behind on future trips. The trip demonstrated that careful curation and prioritizing compact, multifunctional gear enable extended travel with minimal baggage. Reflecting after returning home confirmed the value of practicality, organization, and choosing items that deliver comfort without occupying excessive space.
