Student Travel – Backpacking In Europe

For the fortunate few life isnt complete without a backpacking trip through Europe. This right of passage is believed to further the maturation process of college students according to sociologists. Of course others have opined that copious amounts of alcohol sun and Amsterdam have something to do with it. Regardless of your purpose you still have to figure out what to take.

Backpack Getting In Touch With Your Inner Mule

Obviously the first critical item is your backpack. While one doesnt need to buy the 10000 Himalaya Turbo Pack you should also avoid the 12 blue light special. So how do you pick a happy middle ground?

The best method for picking a backpack involves three phone books. Select/swipe/borrow three yellow page books from neighbors/friends/enemies and hit your local sporting goods store. With the books head to the backpackapalozza section of the store and pick out a few sturdy/cool/outrageous rigs. Stuff the phone books in adjust the straps and go for a walk. Now break out into a run to simulate future dashes for trains/ ferries/ toilets and make the sales people nervous. These steps should quickly reveal the perfect pack.

Now you may have read other publications suggesting highly technical ways to select a backpack. Trust me until you have run for the last ferry from Italy to Greece you have no idea how to pick a pack. The three phone book test solves this nicely.

What To Take

There are a few mantras that every person should chant before packing for Europe. These chants were developed originally by the little known OhMyBack Monks of Southeast Asia. The OMB Monks were known for traveling half way too far off cities turning around returning home and then traveling the full way to said cities. Religious experts opined as to the deep metaphysical meaning of such trips. They were later embarrassed when the monks revealed the back and forth nature of the trips was due to forgetting something often whether they had turned off the iron. Nonetheless such chants have become the guiding light of experienced backpackers.

Let us slowly and clearly chant together

I will pack only that which will not result in me being hunched over like a Sherpa.

Remember I can pick it lower voice toothpaste book soap up over there.

I will not stuff thy pack to the point of bursting for thy damn zippers always break/get snagged/refuse to work.

I will learn humility through wearing incredibly wrinkled clothes and shall not bring an iron.

I shall bring only one guide book not one for each country that I MIGHT see.

I accept that I will come home wearing something I didnt take and will have lost/traded/burned much of what I did take.

For female travelers and okay the occasional male

I will not bring high heels or a gaggle of makeup.

Admittedly chanting these mantras will not bringing you immediate enlightenment. Fret not. You can always throw items away or send them home in a box to your parents/friends/parole officer. For the resourceful backpacker it is not unheard of to send particularly smelly/discolored/toxic clothing to an exgirlfriend/exboyfriend/little brother. Follow these practical guidelines and you will soon happily be speaking in a loud voice to make foreigners understand you.

The Evidence

This is the hard part for most travelers to wrap their minds around. You will forget those special moments of your trip when you met the hunk Sven or babe Svenetta from Sweden and had a romantic evening/danced the night away/got arrested in Ios/Ibiza/the airport. Maybe not immediately but you will eventually forget.

You will also forget or lose the contact information of people you meet despite meticulously writing it down on the back of a coaster/napkin/your hand in a bar/poetry reading/jail at three in the morning. Surprisingly said coaster/napkin/hand often survive the night/day/weekend and get deposited in your already trashed backpack. Of course their presence is often forgotten when you later put a Oktoberfest mug/wet towel/toothbrush in. The extra padding at the bottom of your pack is specifically designed to deal with the decomposing result. Still the information is gone and so is your future with Sven/Svenetta.

To properly record the magical moments of your trip you must take a diary or journal. Dont worry you can burn it later before you get married/your parents get nosey/you have kids. You want a journal in a water/beer/sweat resistant case. Of course I prefer a Nomad Travel Journal but just make sure you take something. When you have some extra time in the bus/train/jail cell you can record how you got there and the people you met.

Trust me when you Sven/Svenetta and your nine children are sitting on the porch 10 years later you will greatly enjoy reading your journal. Of course that assumes you didnt burn.
