What I Packed for 6 Weeks in Europe (In a Carry-On + Backpack)

This past summer I went on a Study Abroad with my University. We traversed over 4 countries (The Netherlands, Belgium, UK, and Ireland) and for weeks at a time didn't have access to Laundry services. We also could only have a carry-on suitcase and backpack as we were often staying at different hotels every night. I've included my packing list below in the hopes that it helps you pack minimally while still bringing the things you love! If you scroll to the very bottom you'll see I've linked a printable PDF version of this packing list. Happy Travels!
