Overnight trains not
only save you money on accommodations, but get you to
your destination early the next day, giving you a full
day of sight seeing.
For safety, keep all
of your important documents (passport, railpass, traveler's
checks) in a money belt worn underneath your clothing.
Xerox all important
documents such as your passport, identification cards,
insurance cards, and railpass. Keep the copies in a separate,
safe place.
Stretch a Eurail Flexipass or Europass by paying out
of pocket for shorter train trips. When traveling on
a budget, bring food on board the train. Don't forget
an extra bottle of wine to share with your cabin mates
.
Bring handi wipes to
quickly refresh yourself. Carry tissues or toilet paper
on board trains. Trains occassionally run out of paper. More

Packing Tips
- Bring lightweight clothing and layer
for warmth.
- Bring a waterproof windbreaker that
will keep you dry and warm.
- Wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes.
- Put potentially leaky items in ziplock
bags.
- Bring any prescriptions, vitamins,
and over the counter drugs you use on a regular basis.
- Pack condoms (European condoms do
not protect like American ones do).
- Bring extra stock of any cosmetic
item you cannot live with out, such as certain hair products,
makeup, and sunscreen. All of these things are available
in Europe, but they may not have your brand.
- After you collect the clothing you
plan on bringing, check over everything and eliminate
half. You do not want to carry every piece of clothing
you own all over Europe.
- Bring contact lens supplies and/ or
an extra pair of glasses.
- Pack your CAMERA!
- Europeans tend to get dressed up in
the evenings. When going out to clubs or nice restaurants,
you may not want to wear clothes that scream "I'm
an American!". Bring one pair of decent shoes (i.e.
not Tevas or sneakers), one pair of long pants (not jeans),
collar shirt (for men) and/or at least one dress or skirt
(for women).
- Consider bringing a walk/ Discman
with your favorite music. Listen to local radio stations
for the latest international music.
