Personal Suggestions

• Bring a smaller bag for everyday use. This bag can be used to carry your camera, travel guide, journal, etc.

• Save everything. Don't throw away your ticket stubs or flyers. These are great to use when decorating your scrap book when you return.

• Keep a journal. Every night write about the day you just experienced while it is fresh in your memory. Your journal will capture things pictures can't.

• Don't buy too many souveniers. It is important to remember places but you will only have so much room. If you do buy souveniers for others perhaps buy them towards the end of your journey.

• Keep your finances organized as you travel. There would be nothing worse than to run out of money half way through your trip.

• Use plastic bags to organize your travel bag. I personally used large zip lock bags to keep my underwear, socks, tee shirts, toiletries and other things seperated and organized.

• After packing your bag, remove one third of the items you packed. You probably overpacked and your bag will only get heavier when you start to buy souveniers.

• Get into the culture. Don't be afraid to go to local restaurants and markets. These places will really let you experience the culture of what ever city you are exploring.

• Try everything. This could be your only chance in Europe so don't let an opportunity pass you buy.

• Use a travel guide. I do not recommend Let's Go Europe, I heard that Lonely Planet is much more clear and has better directions. A simple version of Europe Tour guide is a Yellow Book written in Chinese. It belongs to my partner. Mr. Gary Low.

• Plan your days in advance. If you just roam around a city, you are likey to miss something big. Plus, many museums are open at odd times and this you will want to know in advance so you don't miss anything.
