Packing for a Trip to Europe

Packing for my upcoming trip to Europe has been a bit of a struggle. I usually travel in extreme seasons, either in the summertime when I know I will be living in my swimsuit, or in winter when I need heavy coats and scarves.

But this trip will be from early September to mid October and cover both coastal Porto and mountainous Munich. I’m packing in my Osprey Sirrus 36 L backpack and using my mom’s Kelty day pack.
