That is such an awesome itinerary! September is a great month too because high season will be on the come down:) And omg so happy you love the shoes too!
@@rlm8291 I know a few people who like to post postcards to themselves. They treat it like a travel diary they don't have to carry with them (plus it can be fun negotiating another country's postal service; or stressful. Either way, it's a cultural experience). And then they get home and they have all these lovely memories of their trip in the mail 😊
This summer i was in Germany, Czchec republic, Austria, Italy, France, Belgium and the netherlands! However next summer I'll be going to Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Austria (different city), Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece (specifically where they recorded mamma mia the movie), Croatia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Italy (different city), France (same there), Spain, London, Dublin and maybe somewhere else in the UK, before the netherlands (another city) and lastly Hamburg in Germany! I love ur video!!
Not backpacking to Europe, but this was such a fun video! I just got back from a life changing Montreal/Quebec trip, and I agree with a lot of what you said :) I actually prefer travelling in spring/autumn to avoid crowds and would love to go to europe next spring :))
I absolutely love Montreal!! I'm glad you found the video fun, thank you! And yes I want to travel in low season more but it always ends up I can only travel during high season haha😂 And you will love Europe if you go I'm sure
I'd like to see you go thru the clothing you took and detail whether you wore it, how much you wore it, whether you'd take it again. Basically the pros and cons of everything you took
Honestly I feel like there is a few items I didn't wear as much because I was fortunate enough to be staying with my friend who had extra clothes for me to wear (don't know if my recommendation will be accurate because of this) - I would pack one less dress next time though and an extra layering piece instead!
@@laynaturgeon that's how I travel light. Part of my itinerary planning is based around the need to be handwashing regularly throughout the trip (eg. at least 2 nights at every stop to ensure things have time to dry - I try not to handwash the night before a travel day); and if I'm traveling longer than a month (which I usually am) I plan to have access to a washing machine somewhere in there - family, friends, B&B, affordable laundromat (I'm hugely into planning and research - that's part of the fun for me with travel now; altho when I was young I just barely did any research - you live, you learn)
how were the birkenstocks for your trip? i just finished watching your packing video and I've been trying to look for some sandals that are comfortable for walking lots of hours in case I don't feel like wearing my shoes and also waterproof for hostals. Thanks!
The birkenstocks were awesome for beach days and I didn't have any discomfort when wearing them for an entire day:) I will say for most of the trip I was wearing sneakers though and didn't find myself needing to wear sandals which was great for all the uneven cobblestone streets!
@@laynaturgeon do you think the birkes would be uncomfy on cobblestone, just wondering since id like to have a pair of sandals I can wear during really hot days
@@CarlitaCarlota my birkies have performed well on cobblestones streets in the past but now they've pretty much had it - wears them thin a lot quicker (and I'm not willing to pay the big bucks for any more now that they're no longer doing them with the cork sole)
hey, I’m heading out backpacking this summer too!! I was just wondering what size bag you had and what opinions you have around that?? Some people say to get 50-65 litres, is that too much ?!
Personally I had plenty of room with 40L, I highly recommend to plan for a couple laundry trips though! I also did have a foldable daypack that I would put in front of me when I wanted to have easy to reach items:) I do recommend packing as lightly as you can because otherwise it will get quite heavy!
I’m going to Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands in September! I’m bringing my Vessis too, I love them!

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of traveling. I make sure to either get or send postcards. It’s been my favorite thing to do!!!
such an inexpensive and meaningful souvenir !

@@laynaturgeon ah yes, things do tend to be different if we're visiting friends or family (or travelling with friends or family)
@@susie9893 for sure! overall I think I packed well - I definitely did some laundry for sure though!

@@susie9893 that's awesome! Planning the trip is half the fun to me haha. And great idea for hand washing with time to dry!
Going this summer!!!!
so excited for you!!

Nice video !
How can i connect you if I have any questions?
Thank you! and comments are usually the best place to ask me questions 😄
@@laynaturgeon i have started my own channel and I needed tips regarding that only, that's why i asked ! Btw thanks alot
@@RAHULSS31 Oh of course! Honestly the best tips I have are to stay authentic and be consistent if you can!
@@laynaturgeon in how much time you completed your 1k subs?
@@RAHULSS31 about 4 months but that is mostly because I had one video preform really well:)
