Packing list - 10 day trip to Europe
Hey everyone! So, I'm headed to France in a few days (with a detour to the UK and Ireland planned) and I've been stalking this sub for the past few weeks looking for what to buy/bring on my trip. Tons of great product recommendations (travel towel, wool/linen clothing, etc), which I've gone and purchased, as well as packing tips. I've attached photos of all the stuff I'm planning on bringing.
A few notes to start out:
I've got two bags: the Osprey Farpoint 40L and the smaller 15L day bag.
Everything, including the items I want to carry in the day bag and the day bag itself, fits into the Farpoint 40.
This is my first time traveling with photography equipment, as I typically use my GoPro Hero 9 to take short videos and then just pull screenshots from the videos. I wanted to start getting higher quality shots, so I got some entry-level stuff that produces good stuff!
Lenses do not have cases, so i nested them between my rolled-up T-shirts (see photos)
- Some items aren't in the photos, because I'm still using them or getting them ready (floss, razor, shorts, etc)
I feel like there might be too much stuff, because the bag is packed kinda tight, with no room to being back souvenirs. I will happily accept any suggestions for slimming down my pack.
Total weight is roughly 28.5 lbs.
Complete Packing List:
Clothes:
- 2 pairs of shorts (1 linen pair for everyday wear, 1 synthetic fabric for swimming)
