How we're packing for a three month summer in Europe
Trip Length: Three months (ish!)
Destination: Europe
Matt and I could not be at further ends of the spectrum when it comes to how we’re packing. Matt has very much embraced the minimalistic, digital nomad style of travel – whilst I may have just enough clothes to wear something different every day for the whole trip. This is the biggest trip either of us have ever been on, so who knows who’s packing style will prove to be more successful! We’ll let you know.
First up: Back Packs
Osprey Sojourn 80L
The main reason I chose this back pack was because it has both wheels and straps. I couldn’t find many backpacks that offered this and I think I’ll really appreciate the functionality when we’re travelling through all sorts of different terrain. It was pretty pricey at $550 NZD but Osprey is a reliable and respected brand so I’m expecting this bag to last me a life time! I went for the 80 litre as we’re planning to travel for quite a long time.
Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L
Matt chose this bag for a few reasons, he wanted something quite small that would be able to fit his camera gear, drone etc.. while still having enough space and pockets for clothing and a laptop. 45L is not a lot of space so he has really downsized the amount of things he owns for this trip. The Peak Design Travel Backpack has many accessories that fit into the bag, including a camera cube, storage cubes for clothing, and tech pouches for keeping cables, chargers and batteries organised. It also features hidden pockets which is great for hiding AirTags and important documents like passports.

All the other bits and bobs
Tech stuff:
An e-sim, wall adaptor
Festy gear:
We’ve had tickets to both Tomorrowland and Ultra for over two years now and we’re sure these will both be highlights of our trip. Here are a few of the things we consider essential:
- Fun festival outfits. Where else do you have an excuse to wear spandex and glitter? Stay tuned for pics.
- A NZ flag. Apparently this is a huge trend at Tomorrowland and a great conversation starter.
- Rain ponchos. Even though it will be summer in Europe, we have heard it often rains at Tomorrowland.
- A festy backpack/fanny pack. Somewhere to put your phone, ID, rain poncho and other bits and pieces.
Health & Beauty:
We’re both fairly low maintenance people and we’re not huge on skin care. However, there are a few things I made sure we had space for.
- An eco-friendly sunblock. We both burn so easily but also wanted to be conscious of the impact on the ocean!
- A tinted facial SPF
- Baby wipes! An airport life saver.
Entertainment:
Kindle, Matt’s gaming thing, pack of cards
