Great video with thorough and detailed points. As a content creator that's going to Europe soon this was a tremendous help. I now realize I need to do a "test pack" of my luggage to figure out what I can fit in it. Thanks again!

Going on a 3 month backpacking trip in western Europe this summer, this video was highly informative, thank you very much for the content. Subscribed

I like the fact you speak with sense and not nonsense.

6:30 FACTS I travel internationally just with a school backpack alone. It's just not that i want to travel super light and make things really easy for me to travel, but its also something worth story telling and having memorable adventures with.

A good rule of thumb is: pack as you would for air travel with only a carry on-sized backpack. One can always buy anything in Europe if need arises.

Hi awesome videos, do you happen to know what are the best us debit/credit cards to use in europe to avoid a foreign free transaction?

Visa is your safest bet, it works everywhere.

Europeans use more debit cards than credit cards. The fees for transactions with debit cards are zero or very low in and between SEPA countries (which all of the EU are if I'm not mistaken). That is if you use a card emitted in one of those countries.

As long as it's not American Express you'll be fine. Many places don't accept it (they have high transaction fees to pay for all your benefits). Probably visa>MasterCard

I believe when you sign up with an interail pass they teach you how to read train boards . If not they are pretty easy to get a hang of if you learn 24 hour clock, you can probably use google translate photo option if your really stuck in a place of foreign lamguage

- Even if you know what platform your train leaves from when arriving at the station, look at the big timetable they have at the front of the train station, because there's a small chance your platform might have changed. - leave not on time, but a few minutes earlier just so you don't stress too much. - depending on what your ticket!(s) are like and what country you're in, but usually if a train doesn't arrive at your station (because of a malfunction or anything like that) you don't have too stress, you can just go to the info stand and they'll tell you the next train you can take to your destination (no extra paying)

@@poppyk8848 Just keep in mind that some countries have a different name for some of their cities than the ones we use in English. Vienna, for instance, is Wien in German and Munich is Muenchen. That may be what you see on the train boards. Also keep in mind that large cities have several train stations. Sometimes a train will stop on the fringes of the city and then go to the main station near the city center. In other cities your train may end at a station on the outskirts of the city, such as Gare Du Nord, if you're coming to Paris from the north. You then take the city's mass transit to get other parts of the city. And don't forget that if you're confused you can ask directions. Almost everyone will be helpful and locals know all the ins and outs.

I think you made some great points. However I think that it’s important to mention that there are African-American travelers who have different needs. Our hair textures are different so therefore we can’t always rely on having access to hair care products in the destinations were going to. It’s something that a lot of people don’t think about because they don’t need to think about it. Obviously in countries where there’s a healthy black population there will be products available but for instance I was in Austria and I had a really hard time trying to find any kind of hair products. I would suggest to my African-American friends to bring their own hair care products or get your hair braided before you come. I do think that most Caucasians and people who have finer hair textures take for granted that they can use any kind of shampoo or any kind of conditioner wherever they are. Obviously that’s nothing anyone should feel badly about it’s just an observation.

I mean he's not gonna need those items so add in what you need. It's one person's bare minimum. those cheap/ hotel products arnt good for anyones hair but most people dont care that much. When you have nothing they get the job done. Plus geting you have to stow your bag if you wanna bring a a good amount of product....EUrope has basically no poc friendly products besides Cantu in major cities so I recommend just doing protective styling for as long as possible so you don't have to worry about it. I was in northern Europe so it may be different in Southern Europe

I’m not african american, and I don’t think my hair requires the same thing as yours. However I understand the situation of ”nah imma pack my haircare I don’t have no choice”! 😅 Can’t go one shower without an intense hair mask and oil.

For USA citizens in particular : don't bring your guns. Which are too heavy and you are not even allowed to carry these, let alone use these in Europe. Except for Ukraine, there they'll send you straight to the frontline.

Please don't say Europe as a country. It's a continent, people.

Way too much information input for the Average American.

The possibly most useful part of the video was absolutely useless. Do your own research regarding what you can and what you cannot bring. Oh, that was really helpful. As well as the advice "don't bring too much clothes/devices/jewellery". Oh my god, i really thought that i should bring my whole wardrobe and all the cash i can get (no, i did not).
