Well, it's now 37 days (but who's counting?) until I head off for London and the rest of Europe. It's my first trip overseas having explored Australia thoroughly and I can't wait!
My biggest concern about my trip is the very unfamiliar cold weather and what I need to prepare for it. We plan to stay in hostels during the whole trip - sticking mostly to Northern and Eastern Europe. I hadn't planned on bringing a sleeping bag, figuring that heating and sleeping gear will be the norm at hostels and when living out of a pack that you're lugging around for 3 months space is at a premium. That is until my travel buddy bought one today and now I'm leaning towards being over rather than under prepared.
So the biggest question is, if you were me, would you bring one?
Oh and while I think of it, what in the way of pants will I need to keep myself warm while doing the regular European sites?
Thanks in advance.
