- I spent two weeks backpacking through Europe in 2022 and was surprised by my experiences.
- Backpacking through Europe wasn’t the glamorous, romantic adventure it looks like on Instagram.
- My trip was more exhausting than I expected, but I learned more about myself than I thought I would.
In October 2022, I took a two-week backpacking trip through Europe, where I slept in shared train cabins and budget Airbnbs.
I backpacked across Germany, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland for two weeks. It was my first time visiting each country and backpacking in Europe.
There were a lot of surprises that made me realize backpacking is about more than just a fun adventure, from hardships to hidden gems.
