What to pack for a European summer.
Got a summer adventure planned? (We’re jelly!) Let’s break down the items you’ll need to live your best nomadic life under the Euro sun.
First things first, you’ll need a sturdy suitcase to keep everything sorted and secure. The Caribee Global Explorer 125 Wheeled Travel Bag features internal compartments and dividers that you can adjust to your liking, as well as oversized wheels for easy manoeuvring on all sorts of terrain.
You’ll also need a good day pack for hands-free wandering. It should be practical, lightweight and – let’s be honest – stylish. If you’re planning to hit up Europe’s best hiking trails, the iconic Herschel Little America Backpack is ideal.
Pro tip: The Euro summer season is a bustling time, so be sure to lock in your flights, accomms and any bucket list tours well ahead of time. Head to the Mix & Match website to start browsing some sweet deals.
