What to pack for travel to other parts of the world
The following is a suggested packing list for a Europe summer tour.
Keep in mind this is not a definitive list – everyone has individual fashion tastes, preferences, opinions, and styles in terms of what they want to wear and bring along! This is meant to be a good guide to help you in packing for your European vacation.
Clothes
- 1 rainproof jacket/small umbrella
- 2 or 3 shorts/skirts
- 1 thick sweater
- 1 or 2 Swimwear and beach towel
- 1 or 2 pairs of jeans
- 2 or 3 T-shirts
- Underwear
- Socks
- 2 or 3 casual shirts
- Trousers
- Dresses
- 1 set of nice clothes (eg going out dress, tie, blazer, jacket or suit for evenings out on tour)
Shoes
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Thongs/flipflops/sandals
- ‘Going out’ shoes
Toiletries
- Toiletry bag and contents
- Aspirins/medications
- Suntan lotion
- Handkerchiefs/tissues
- Insect repellent
Miscellaneous
- Travel Clock
- Sunglasses
- Plastic bags
- Washing powder
- Sewing kit
- Pens and writing materials
- Rechargeable phone card
- Power adapters
- Day bag
- Overnight bag
Label your suitcase inside and out with your name and your home address and perhaps attach a sticker, ribbon, patch or other unique identifier to your luggage to make it easier to spot.
Carry a copy of your passport, visas, travel and other important documents as well as your travellers cheque numbers (if you use them) with you in your luggage. You should also leave a copy of all this information at home with someone trusted and contactable while you are away.
Don’t pack your travel documents and passport in your luggage, rather take it with you in your carry luggage.
Remember to bring more than enough of any medication you might need along with you and carry prescriptions for any medications that you carry with you.
Camping and Concept/Budget Tours
If you are traveling on a Camping or Concept/Budget Tour you should also pack:
- Towel – perhaps a quick dry towel if you like to shower on the departure mornings so you won’t have to pack a wet towel in your luggage
- Sleeping bag
- Toilet tissue
- Flashlight
Laundry Facilities

Be wary of gladiators outside the colosseum. They don't take photos for free and can be quite agressive about their payment. Also don't be fooled into taking an unlicensed guided tour of the Colosseum either....
I bought a high sierra duffel bag - it has a zip down panel on the back and you can pull out the back pack straps…I also have a laptop back pack…
I went alone last summer (06). I met some wonderful people…I liked it so much, that I am going on the London + Paris trip next week (alone again).
