I did a search but I could only find budget stuff, and the blog post on the sidebar. I’m looking for what to bring and what to get at home or there. So I'm going to be living in a major city in Europe for 6 months starting some time in July. I'm not even sure if I'm going to stay there the entire time. I've been over in Europe for a month or so during the summer. I've never been away from the (always summery) US state I live in for more than 2 months. I have experience with traveling, but not for half a year.
I would appreciate advice for a long time traveling. What should I expect? Also I have only dealt with winter/snow for a week, so I don't have the winter apparel that would last. Should I buy that stuff when I get there to save room in my luggage for other stuff? And for that what is a good staple to get?
I was thinking of bringing:
Clothes I have that are sadly not winter appropriate
Toiletries
Good shoes
Typical gadgets that I use
Adaptors
Paperwork
And what not
I can elaborate more if necessary. I am just insecure of being more specific on a public forum.
TL;DR: I am unsure of what I should bring and what to expect for such a long time period, and I’m asking for more experienced opinions.
