It was a challenge to pack everything we would need for two months into a backpack, but we did it! See below for what we will be carrying on our backs for just over two months.
We took inspiration from our friends Mike and Amanda De Boer, who are incredibly experienced world travelers that make a 2 month Europe trip look like making a routine run to the grocery store! Check out their world travel blog here.
