So, I’m getting ready for my epic 3.5-month adventure across Europe, hitting up spots like Portugal, Italy, Greece, and more. I’ll be exploring cities, mountains, villages, and coastlines, so I need to pack smart. Here’s what I’ve got planned: 4 t-shirts, 1 collared shirt, 1 merino wool long sleeve, 1 hoodie, 1 light Patagonia fleece, 1 down coat, 1 Arc’teryx beta AR, 1 pair of hiking pants, 1 linen pants, 1 pair of hiking shorts, 1 pair of casual shorts, 1 pair of swim shorts, 6 pairs of underwear, 8 pairs of socks, 2 toques, 2 light scarves, Salomon xt whispers for city exploring, Zamberlan Vioz Lux for hiking, travel days, and sandals for the beach and hostel showers.
I know it seems like a lot, but with the crazy mix of climates and activities on my itinerary, I gotta be ready for anything. Plus, I wanna look good and not smell like garbage, you know? Let me know if you think I should ditch anything or if there’s something crucial I’ve missed for my trip. Thinking of adding a pair of merino wool pants to the mix too. So what do you reckon?
