Pack heat.

All countries you mentioned are temperate , meaning you're very unlikely to get extreme weather. It's just getting into summer. I'd suggest summer clothes with something like a fleece in case you feel cold or the weather turns..

I went to Rome for 6 weeks during the summer, and the best advice I can give you is don't bring anything you're not sure you are going to use. Think like this; I can use this one thing for this and also this. If you have any special things you really like/need like a contact solution or soap etc. try to bring a small size b/c it's not easy, depending where you are going, to find american products, and they are usually really expensive. Plus with a language barrier, I don't know if it's an issue or not, things can get confusing. Just bring the things you really need, stuff that's comfy, doesn't look dirty easily, etc. ...and I don't know where you are going but try to watch your stuff, I know it's common sense, but almost 1/2 the people I went with got stuff stolen at some point. In rome they are so good at pickpocketing you don't even know it happened until you get home. I would make sure the imp things like passports etc are close with you at all times. I brought a wallet thing that went under my tshirt, it sounds dorky but it rly came in handy. My wallet was stolen on a subway but at least I still had my passport bc it was in that thing I brought. Anyhow, have fun, I hope that helps....

1. Pack lightly. - One long pants, shorts, skirt, long sleeve top, short sleeve top, cardigan, light coat (Plan to share with your friends and wash out every few days.) 2. Visit Target or Kmart and buy cheap tank tops, white undershirts, and underwear. When you stain them, ditch them and replace them in your suitcase with cute stuff you bought. 3. Bring one pair of universal sandals/walking shoes. 4. Ditch the electronics. Charge your camera before you go and use throw away ones if the battery gives out before you return. 5. Tampons, contact solution, and some other vital supplies can be more expensive in Europe. Plan accordingly. 6. Visit Tesco or Boots for skincare supplies. Leave yours at home. 7. Pack lots of different size ziplock bags for getting lotions, dirty clothes, etc. home.
