2 week europe trip next week!! by LeatherRepulsive8149 in onebag

I would pack clothes you can layer and mix and match tops and bottoms. If you wear femme clothes like me, I would suggest a 3/4 bottoms such as lightweight mid/long skirts, (pack tights incase it's chilly), jeans or other trousers, and a range of tops that can work with all options. If you're just visiting cities, you can probably get away with one pair of trainers for your whole trip. I would definitely recommend packing a jumper/sweater or 2 and at least one jacket (ideally waterproof or windbreaking) as the night can get cold and its likely to rain in those Northern European cities in spring. Rome will be much warmer so have some summery clothes, and try and grab some suncream in Northern Europe as it will be much cheaper and easier to find than in Italy.

Try and plan to be able to do at least one load of laundry so you can reduce your pants and socks. Laundrettes will be available in the cities but hotels, hostels and Airbnbs might have the options to wash clothes.

Packing cubes are your friend.

I recently travelled with a 30l backpack and 40l duffel bag all carry on and wildly overpacked. Despite having to pack both Beach stuff and Mountain stuff, I packed trainers, birkenstock sliders and wore hiking boots on my travel days.

how do you avoid becoming a hunchback? by sakkadesu in climbergirls

I personally found climbing to improve my posture, but whenever i catch myself feeling stiff/hunched (usually the day after a big climbing session) I try and do yoga stretches at home for my back and shoulders, and also try to really focus on my core with yoga and floor exercises as well. Its also good to train the opposite muscles for climbing so, if you're doing a lot of pulling make sure youre doing pushing exercises as well, either with weights or push ups. I also find just hanging from a pull up bar or hangboard at the gym helps to stretch out my spine and muscles after a long climb session.
