Hi girls,

As a few of you know hubby and I are off backpacking around Europe in a few weeks. We will be gone for 10 months minimum and im starting to get everything ready to pack.

We have a backpack each - trust me they dont hold much! As a travel agent I know most of the normal things to pack but I always end up away with something forgotten.

Any ideas on what else I need to pack, I have the usual clothes and then:

1 small bag for my make up
Thermals
Shower thongs for the terrible hostels
First aid pack - We are hiking at Anzac cove over Anzac day
Padlocks
Zip lock bags
Bathers
Micro fibre towel
Ipod speakers (they are super tiny)
Hat

We are spending the first 3 months in fairly cold weather, the middle 3 months in hot greek weather and then the last 3 months in freezinf weather hahahaha.

I'll gt my husband to come and talk...he backpacked around the world for twelve months and would have some idea on how to handle the climate change issue...he went from london through Europe and russia and into Greece and then ended up in the snowfields at Whistler Blackcomb in Canada in the middle of snow season so prolly has some idea what to pack and what not to......

A couple of pens and a small notebook - always comes in handy.
A small really nice shower gel - I found when in hostels it was always nice to have a bit of "luxury" with you as some of them can be bleerghh.

Gloves
A fave photo or two of family and friends - always cheers you up when feeling down.
