As an European I would suggest another packing tip. Just bring some nicer clothes as well, because most of Europeans love to dress up to their dinner or night out. Believe me - you don't want to go out in you walking shoes or hiking shorts to a nice dinner, you will just feel out of place. And even more - in the larger cities you won't feel comfortable, because everybody dresses up daily. Unless you want to look like a tourist. :)

If you are going to eat at a fine dining restaurant you are right. For a normal restaurant in any town a Jeans + shirt is perfectly fine. In southern Europe shorts plus shirt (men) or a summer dress (women) are enough.

Related to #52 (Separate your cards) - A lot of travelers misunderstand the purpose and use of money belts (and similar devices like neck wallets). This isn’t your working inventory, you don’t dip into the money belt to pay for lunch. Anything you think you’ll spend today can go in your wallet for easy access, with the slight risk of it getting pickpocketed. The belt is for when you’re carrying your travel documents or more money than you can afford to lose. Maybe you’re hitting the ATM to pull five days’ worth of cash or you’re traveling between cities and have to carry everything with you. Stash your stuff, zip up the belt and tuck it under your clothes. Now the only way you’re losing that money is a proper mugging where the thief stands there and makes you hand your stuff over. Those are exceedingly rare these days.

Regarding No. 14 (public transport is part of the experience) - It’s also a nice peek into the lives of ordinary people. I’ve met a few travelers who barely met any locals because they stayed at the Hilton, ate at the touristy restaurants, and got everywhere by car or tour bus. That’s not the worst thing, they still saw the sights, but they’re missing out on a big part of the experience.

European here: Even in the hottest summer, pack some "proper" cover-up clothes when you plan to visit churches, cathedrals and things like that: most of them require you to cover up your knees and shoulders, some also your head, if you are a woman. When I travel around Europe myself, I like to bring a big, lightweight shawl for things like this and wear it over my head and shoulders at once while wearing a longer skirt on those days, for example. :) If you don't have anything with you, you either are denied entrance, or they provide you with some icky old cover ups they keep especially for that reason. And also pack some extra socks if you otherwise wear sandals barefoot, as similar places sometimes require you to take off your shoes. (Talking about mosques especially)

If you rent bikes in a city where locals use bikes a lot, don't behave like a tourist! Don't stop in the middle of the bike lane and follow the flow and stick to the traffic rules. I reared an American woman last summer because she was super slow and came to a sudden stop at an unexpected spot. Fortunately there was just some small adjustments which had to be done to the bike (my bike, not hers) after the impact. If you visit Sweden, be prepared for nearly all payments to be done by card. Some places don't even accept cash.

Also, don't try to take your rented bike on a tram...or maybe even a bus. It's very normal in the US to take bikes on public transit, but apparently NOT normal in places that have dedicated bike roads 🤣👌. I saw some exhausted and very lost woman who tried to get on a tram with a bike in Amsterdam because she couldn't navigate the city by herself on the bike roads. The tram driver scolded her, "no, ma'am, you have a bicycle, you ride the bicycle" 😳. So, while riding a bike is great, maybe don't cut your teeth on cycling culture in a city with bike roads 👌😎.

Just came back from a 10 day solo trip to Italy, France & Spain. Part land part MSC cruise. Pro tip::: Pack light!! I can’t express that enough. So much walking, so many stairs and uneven cobble stone terrain. It’s ok to be fashionably stylish but do dress comfortable and plan to rewear your clothes. It’s ok to wash a few outfits and wear them again. Also.. if in Italy specifically Genova. Never enter a bus without a ticket. You cannot pay on the bus. The police comes on the bus and asks for your ticket. If you don’t produce a ticket you will be forced to pay €67 later or€47 on the spot by credit card. The will not budge with tears or pleading about being an English speaking tourist. Happened to me and had I let it get to me it certainly would have ruined my trip 2 days in. For the trains make sure that if you buy your ticket at the station that you validate it at one of the many machines before boarding. If you bought it online make sure that the pass is downloaded to your wallet or you have a screenshot of it. For taxi drivers always navigate the route with them on your speakerphone or they will take you the longest route possible to Jack up the fare.

I love traveling and always went with a tour group in the past being a introvert I know I would enjoy it more solo but it's scary especially traveling internationally alone language barriers, getting lost, pickpockets all these things you see and here about with international travel can be very intimidating so you're vlogs really help ease my anxiety and fears seeing other women travel solo is so inspiring for me.

Aw, thanks so much for the kind comment, Lisa! I hope you have an amazing time in Split. As with everything in life, the best way to get comfortable solo travelling is just by getting out there and doing it. For what it’s worth, I didn’t have any language barrier issues in Split and found everything there to be very tourist friendly. Be sure to do a day trip out to the Krka Waterfalls while you’re there. Loads of companies offer it and it’s really beautiful :)

Don’t get me wrong, I was also nervous mostly about pickpockets and getting lost. I suck with maps but you’d be surprised when left to your own devices you realize how capable you are. And let me tell you, once you travel solo the first time, and maybe even a second time you’ll wanna do it all the time. Have an amazing time on your trip to Croatia. 😊

Kind of good recommendations. Only very few points that might be improved 😀 For example 3/101 is partially correct, but during main school vacations more people are leaving many major tourist cities than getting visitors; my preferred month for visiting Paris for example is August (not 2024 due to Olympics). 15/101 is correct on not renting a car - but the "vignette" for motorways is only a minor of the possible problems. And the vignette is not necessarily automatically checked, nor is there an automatic scan at a border for such a vignette. Quite a number of interesting places have no car access or do not allow cars that have not special authorisation. Parking can be limited and is often expensive. Road information (for road signs) is usually in local language only. 65/101 might be worth to mention that "local" cuisine is seldom "national" but regional. Go where possible for regional food specialties (as mentioned in 75 at leat a little bit). 66/101 does not work everywhere, many hotels offer better breakfast at lower prices than a traveler can get, especially if not familiar with a place. Many places in Europe simply have no local bakery any more. Often enough I get a hotel breakfast that is sufficient for skipping lunch. 83/101 VAT is not that simple, a customs export confirmation is always required first, procedure depends on country, the VAT is refunded by the seller (in fact its a tax exemption for exports) often but not always done by some specialised offices. Products may not be used before export procedure is completed.

These are awesome tips. Love the suggestions for various apps in Europe. Could you please link the wise card referral as well? Also would love to see train/bus system in Italy, France, and Spain. Definitely not used to train travel in the US. Thanks a lot!

These are amazing tips! I would love to see a Denmark specific tips video, as I plan to travel there for an 80-day period during the winter holidays, and it will be my first time traveling internationally! I am also a NA citizen, so it'd be nice to know more travel tips for Europe/Scandinavia/Denmark.

Thank you so much for this! i love all your tips and information! My friend and i are going to the eastern mediterranean on a cruise next year and are so overwhelmed about travel in europe! it's a bucket list itinerary, but since we're starting in Istanbul and ending in Trieste, we want to see a couple of days in Turkey and Italy and just trying to plan that is completely daunting. We have no idea how to get around or where to stay or what's even practical for us - i'm devouring all your vlogs since i discovered this! Love all these tips and please do post more!

I have not seen a square sleeping pillow here in Germany in the last 30 years. Only in my childhood in the 80s we had them at my grandmas house. The smaller, square and quiet stiff ones are usually for the couch. For sleeping, we usually have 80x40cm ones. But in case you encounter one of the old fluffy square pillows (traditionally filled with goose feathers), try folding the lower third underneath the top. This gives you a good support for your neck.

Fellow 🇨🇦. Planning to do some solo traveling in Europe and the transportation system overwhelming. Have been on trains in Italy but was with a tour group. Just spent 3 weeks in Croatia and used ferries, it was so easy. Can you recommend good videos for train travel? ❤your videos!

Make sure you budget time at the airport to find or potentially stand in a line for VAT. The process itself doesn't take that long for a refund if you're prepared and ready to go, but not every airport has the most obvious signs or laid out spots that are visible if youre easily overwhelmed in a crowded airport. And at least in CDG they may not be available after security when youre trying to make it to your gate so take the best opportunity to get that refund when you see it. Ask me how I learned that one. 🙈
