How to Pack For 3 Weeks Backpacking in Europe!

[@sophiedebruin9330]

Packing tip: If you're travelling during winter seasons, back some tights/stockings to wear underneath your jeans/pants! Super thin and easy to roll up and keep you extra snug and warm!!! ❤️

[@Villanellepolastri222]

ugh this is so good. it's nice to see it's possible to be fashionable while being practical. when most people think backpackers they think just athletic clothes but you made variety work!!!

[@ineschghrn8473]

Did anyone else think about that Friends' episode where they all go "When I was backpacking in Western Europe" 😂😂

[@popizer]

omg that's what i thought hahahah

[@fernandadealencar1158]

I clicked on this video only to see if anyone had made a comment about it 😂

[@analuisa_r02]

Instantly thought about that 😂😂😂

[@rhosymedra6628]

"No rhyme or reason, I just put stuff where it fit" Love it. This is how I pack too. I haven't done a trip this long, but I did a 9 day trip out of an 18 L backpack.

[@luciavillegas6622]

love the video! i'd suggest also packing a reusable water bottle, and possibly a small container for food + reusable cutlery if you're planning to eat takeaway outside (spring/summer), or if you're like me and finish half of your dinner at home!

[@tnik420]

This was extremely helpful! I'm going for my honeymoon in April and I've been desperately searching for what to bring that was both functional and fashionable and I felt like all the video's I'd watched were more for 2-3 months worth of backpacking which made everything far more functional. I very much appreciated the photo list of all you'd brought at the end as well! Thank you so much!

[@jamiedorough]

Oh man, that backpack. My fiance and I used that exact backpack while backpacking around europe for 3 MONTHS!! it was amazing and totally worth it. I loved that it opened right up. we used packing cubes too.

[@sofiagarza7601]

do you know if the 55L is carryon size? or should I get the 40 L

[@droid2D2C3P0]

@@sofiagarza7601 the 55L has a detachable daypack so it's really a 40L plus a 15L so yes the 55L can be used as a carry on as long as you detach them and put the 40L above you and the 15L day pack at your feet

[@Brittney-eq5nl]

Your videos have such calmness to them, and they are always so positive and uplifting. I'm going through a rough patch in life right now and your videos always motivate me to keep pushing towards my dreams. You are my favorite channel by far. Keep it up girlfriend 💚

Can you breakdown your expenses for this trip???

[@diogopedro1991]

That would be interesting

[@heidifritz3053]

Too funny! I googled how to pack a backpack for travel in Europe, and randomly chose this one! Hey, and it's a Heart alum! And I’m watching this to help my own Heart grad!

[@phoebs5905]

Your other packing video for a month in a backpack was the first ever video I watched of yours, so this is kind of a throwback and I am so grateful for that video because it led me to discover your channel and now you are one of my favorite youtubers !!

[@caro_0430]

Me: Is not backpacking in Europe or any other place Also me: Clicks on video

[@abbieamavi]

*so happy this was re-uploaded(: so helpful! And I don’t wanna be a hater but I work on the ramp at the airport and I hate those osprey bags bc they’re bulky and always hella heavy and they’re hard to chuck in the bins! And my other job i actually used to sell those bags to people, so I really did myself dirty I guess* 😂😂

[@chrissjoy]

They're heavy because people over pack them. Osprey makes the absolute best backpacks in the world, people give them a bad name when they use the packs improperly. A good pack that is the right size for your body, correctly worn, and not packed to overflowing will not give you back aches.

[@abbieamavi]

C as someone who also goes backpacking, I agree! I’ve overstuffed bags before, and let me tell you it just hurts..my back, and I’m sure the bag isn’t happy either 😂

[@Soccercrazyigboman]

What is the name of this model?

[@droid2D2C3P0]

[@freyassouvenirs820]

I love how you did this after you traveled, thanks for a great video

[@megganbenoit6901]

Girl thank you soooo much for this video! I’m going to France in April for a month and a half! Plus I just purchased the same osprey backpack! I’m so excited😍😍

[@phoebea6692]

where did u get the backpack?

[@dianachamomile]

Wow that green jacket!! What kinds of sorcery is that?! 😵 I needddd

[@zinebyazami1430]

I believe Uniqlo has a bunch of puffer jackets that can be easily packed in these kind of travel cases

[@artsygirly1619]

i love this. your a BIG inspiration to me. been going through rough times, and this video brought me lots of joy, so thank you. so much.

[@ElenaTaber]

ah sending you all the love! I've so glad they bring you joy :)

[@Liberdara]

Dear, I bought it following your recommendation and I’m super happy with this bag! Thanks a lot!!!

[@sophiesvahn6336]

Hi! I'm fairly certain the bag is the Osprey Fairview (i.e. women's) 55L (7:54). The day bag is 15L meaning that is its actually 40L + 15L.

[@sophiesvahn6336]

Osprey also makes the Fairview 40L (carry on).

[@jojoericsson5018]

you now you dont need any more then 2 of everything ;) 2 blue jeans and 2 jackets one thicker one thinner see that they are rain repelent and windproff, and keep your colors to black and white you can never go wrong with that ^^.

[@gracielaalverio8484]

So.. I just finished watching this video and my 3-year-old sister sat beside. She asked what's your name and I said "her name's Elena." She answered back "mommy Elena?" 😂 IDK why, but I find it funny and adorable that she called you "mommy Elena" ❤

[@marcelamorales2342]

Your videos are so helpful for travelling! You make my life so much easier when I have to pack 💛💛

[@jasminacker2216]

Great video as always 💞 Wish I could have met you while you were in Germany! Glad you liked it here 😁

[@ElenaTaber]

thank you!! and yes I hope to be back soon!

[@angieenriquez6250]

liked this more than packing videos!! it really showed the things you used. super helpful!

[@SixtySecondSnapshots]

Hi...that's not a 45L (which is carry-on size) it's a 55L (without the detachable backpack it would be carry-on) and that's a major difference. I too have traveled the world with a Farpoint 55L (the men's version) and have mostly been able to carry it on. You'll note at 7:56 into the video you see "Fairview 55" printed on the side!! Also, where is your camera equipment? Really enjoy seeing your perspective on traveling the world. (I found your channel as I was searching Norway travel videos) Thanks!

[@candacevinje9134]

I apologize if someone already asked this, but I didnt see it in the comments.....what brand is your waterproof jacket? I really like it! We are doing three weeks between France, Italy, and Spain in March, so I knooooow we will need some rain protection. :)

[@alisonolm]

That’s an osprey 55L😋 not 45! I have the same one😁

[@yessica3420]

This was so helpful! It looks like you were able to fit quite a bit of clothes. I want to do 2 weeks in europe.

Where is your jumpsuit that you’re wearing from??

[@helenaalicia6987]

Girl, you need to use some compression packing cubes. for everything

[@kyrahuff1559]

Does the backpack fit into carry on standards or did you have to check it on your flight?

[@emilyfranzen]

Love these videos! One quick question- how do you travel internationally with a backpack? Do you have to check it on flights? How does it not get damaged?!

[@ElenaTaber]

It depends on the airline! Some let me keep it as a carry on and others make me check it

[@lancelost6188]

I have the same backpack and I used it to travel to Indonesia from America. Depending on the airline, you have to be really careful with the weight of your pack and how bulky it is, because smaller in-country airlines won’t allow a carry on or a checked bag that’s over 28 lbs. I used mine as a carry on for most of the flights and had to make sure it lay relatively flat so as to fit in the overhead compartment, and the one time I checked it I took off the smaller backpack and used that as a carry on (because the smaller one is more likely to get damaged). Overall the back is really sturdy and it’s fortified with a lot of foam and mesh, so it got chucked around a lot without taking any hits!

[@mricci9719]

Hi :) weird question maybe, but do you wash your clothes somewhere while traveling? I mean, if not, you'd literally have to pack a ton of underwear and socks for traveling 3 weeks! Or do you use some soap and water from the hostel and let it air - dry ? Love your channel btw

[@marianatomaz7108]

Heyy!! Your Osprey Fairview 55L fits on cabine size???? I Really liked but i in doubt about that point

[@chrissjoy]

A 55L is definitely not carry on size. Most places its a 40L limit. Anything over that and they'll almost always make you check it. That's why you always want to make sure you have the exact size for a carry-on for all the airlines you're flying on. Because if you have a laptop or expensive things in there that can get broken, and then you get up to the counter and they tell you you have to check it... That will ruin your trip.
