I’m considering onebagging through Italy and France in May by train, no airplane travel involved. Do you have any tips or tricks for doing that? We’ll be two women traveling, no formal events to attend or special equipment activities planned.

Get a small collapsible backpack like this: Patagonia Terravia Tote Bag Backpack 24L so you can have a few things on hand during train rides, and have the option to lock your main bag in a locker at the train station or your hotel room while you’re exploring. In Italy (Germany as well, maybe France too, I have less experience there) there are often really nice, cheap public aquaplexes with saunas and pools and hot tubs, that can be a nice way to refresh that is less gross than a hostel bathroom. Have two wallets, one for little stuff with a coin pouch and one for larger sums and your passport. Italy and France are both pretty safe but… Still worth it. Always have wet wipes. Remember to validate your tickets in Italy.
I had no idea about the aquaplexes, that’s so nice. I’ll add wet wipes to my list. That seems like a very good comfort item with many possible use cases.
Thank you also for reminding me about ticket validation in Italy. I need to make a list of dos and don’ts for each country.
