How to Travel in Europe for 3 Weeks. Traveling for three weeks was no small feat.
We planned for months, researched locations and prepared as much at home so we could just enjoy our trip. I've been asked about our best travel tips, so here it goes. Pack Light Yep, those are our suitcases. I'm just as surprised as you are. We ditched traditional suitcases because I couldn't imagine pushing through bustling European train stations as I wheeled a mammoth suitcase behind me.
Gave us the ability to be assertive in crowds and forced us to pack light. Pack Smart As a notorious overpacker, this was really tricky for me. 7 Shirts and 2 undershirts 4 bottoms (jeans, shorts, skirt, leggings) 1 dress 1 swimsuit 1 hoodie 2 scarves 1 belt 2 pairs of shoes: Keds and a pair of Sanuk flats Toiletries (but not hairdryer or curling iron) Snacks (granola bars, oatmeal, gummy bears) Books (travel and leisure) Garbage sacks (for dirty laundry)

As fun as it is to go the “big city” every once in awhile….I wouldn’t mind staying put for a little while either. :-) Anyway you look it it….traveling is STRESSFUL! One Bag.
