Bring comfortable walking shoes Ones you ve worn previously
For a European walking trip, comfortable shoes are essential. Make sure they have arch support and have been broken in twice before traveling. Blisters shouldn't be your first memento overseas!
Pack a bag within your bag
As you go overseas, a lightweight backpack or sling bag will be useful: Portable bags save hotel trips to get essentials. Size it to accommodate your phone, wallet, and waterbottle (see next suggestion) yet compact enough to fit in a carry on.
Pack an outfit for entering religious sites
Many holy sites, like the Vatican and Pantheon, require dress codes. Dressing well might mean witnessing a masterpiece or waiting outside.
Keep the essentials in your carry on
Pack a jacket, contact lenses, and clean clothing in your carry-on if you're checking a bag. Carry on medications always! Knowing you won't miss a day without a change of clothing.
In fact, just bring a carry on!
Packing a carry-on helps prevent missing baggage. They're also simpler to navigate in public transportation and cities. Even seasoned ACIS passengers prefer carry-ons.
Roll your clothes to save space
Turning your clothes into rolls instead of folding them will amaze you with how much space you save! Remember, you'll want mementos while overseas, so reserve storage for those rather than clothes.
Think layers
Prepare for every weather as you journey across diverse climates! Shorts, a sweater, and a rain jacket are needed for Cloud Forest hiking in Costa Rica.
Bring a refillable waterbottle
Bringing a refillable waterbottle is a simple way to travel sustainably. Keeping hydrated is vital with a hectic travel schedule; imagine avoiding single-use plastic bottles with your own!
