Europe Backpack Packing List | Summer 2018

I am leaving for Europe in a week with my boyfriend and I decided to make a packing video to show some of the things I am going to bring. 

I chose to pack extremely light because we are going to be moving around a lot and I didn't want to worry about lugging around a bunch of things.

My Europe Backpack Packing List

Why three bags?

My backpack is obviously my carry-on, but what about the other bags?

I chose this purse because the strap is detachable so I could wear it as a cross-body bag or take the straps off and use it as a clutch or extra pouch to carry my essential items. 

Since the purse could be a little small some days I decided to bring a small daypack to carry around my essentials. 

What I love about my Matador Daylite backpack is that when I'm not using it, the bag can be folded up and packed to fit in the palm of my hand. 

I'm planning on packing away my Matador backpack and plan to only use my purse and Osprey backpack on the flight. 

Packing Light 

This has been a challenge for me to pack the least amount of things as possible. 

However, I have come to terms with the fact that I do not need to pack everything because I can buy stuff where ever we are. 

We also decided we would do laundry at one of our Airbnbs at some point so we don't need to pack too much because we can wash our clothes. 

Ready for the adventure?

My boyfriend and I plan to document our trip in a mini vlog series so keep an eye out for those videos.
