Gear Up for your Travels in Europe
Based on our travel experiences, we recommend using one of these backpacks and some combination of 3-5 Eagle Creek packing cubes/folders, which come in a variety of sizes. This method of putting things into "compartments" helps keep everything organized and separated, and it maximizes your available space. Most importantly, it also allows for super-easy packing and unpacking, which is something you will be doing every day or two during your travels in Europe. A ticket organizer and a chain/lock will also come in very handy.
