One of the newer, smaller travel adapters coming out lately - supports 2 AND 3 prong US plugs PLUS some surge protection.
Travel Laundry Clothesline - FlexolineTravel Laundry Clothesline - Flexoline
Buy new: $10.75
Elastic clothesline. Between saving costs on dryer use (if your hostel even has one) or just simple washing in the sink/shower, this will help air dry items overnight in your bunkbed or dorm room. Get wicking underwear/socks and they'll be dry by morning!
Vaude Gallery Air 30+5 Pack - 1830cu inVaude Gallery Air 30+5 Pack - 1830cu in
Expands to 35L - around 2100 cu in - which is perfect for carrying enough clothing and accessories, but having the ability to quickly move in train stations, airports and on the street. Vented back and somewhat-separated "dirty laundry" pouch on the bottom will be quite handy!
Platy Soft Bottle with Closure CapPlaty Soft Bottle with Closure Cap
Buy new: $6.95 - $34.69
Folds, bends, twists, this is great for carrying water with you anywhere. No smell, no taste, tough "bottle". And perfect for airport travel - after security checks, fill it up at a fountain or a sink.
Aquis Adventure Microfiber Towel, Graphite, Medium (15 x 29-Inches)Aquis Adventure Microfiber Towel, Graphite, Medium (15 x 29-Inches)
Buy new: $17.00
Used this all across Europe and Asia! This baby dries quickly during the day (or even in your backpack on a warm afternoon). You need to adjust to it a bit, but after a few uses, it feels completely fine. Includes a loop to hang on shower door hangers - definitely a must in some hostels!
Trips Journal (Notebook, Diary) (Travel Journal) (Small Format Journals)Trips Journal (Notebook, Diary) (Travel Journal) (Small Format Journals) by Peter Pauper Staff
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.78
One item that makes your journey so much better: a daily journal. No, seriously, it does. From your own thoughts, challenges, daily experiences, personal growth, hardships.. it makes you reflect on your trip (even DURING your trip) and seize the moment. After you come home, keep writing and you will see how much has happened to your spirit, your confidence, yourself.
Vaude Tour 40 L Backpack, Light BrownVaude Tour 40 L Backpack, Light Brown
Buy new: $104.95
(Bonus Addition/Suggestion) This 40L pack includes free shipping from Amazon and is around 2400 cu. in. Great for taller people or those travelers who think a 35L pack does not have enough space to bring home souvenirs. Just don't get anything bigger than this!
Master Lock 4603D Retractable Cable Lock in Red, Blue, Green, or Clear, 24-Inch, 1-PackMaster Lock 4603D Retractable Cable Lock in Red, Blue, Green, or Clear, 24-Inch, 1-Pack
Buy new: $9.99
Get two (or use along with another lock). This is great for basic security with your backpack - can be slipped through the main zipper pulls and then wrapped around a pole, chair or dorm bed frame. After many, many uses, the cord will start to fray - but it will last at least a 6-month journey.
Western Europe: Lonely Planet PhrasebookWestern Europe: Lonely Planet Phrasebook by Karina Coates
Buy new: $9.34 / Used from: $5.33
Small phrasebooks, like this, are great reading on the train and will help you prepare to ask/say a few phrases for your journey. Screaming slowly and pointing won't help!
Hi-Tec Men's Outlander Hiking BootHi-Tec Men's Outlander Hiking Boot
Buy new: $63.00 - $69.99
Unfortunately, it won't allow to merge both men's and women's versions, but this is an example of the types of boots to look for. Light hiking style is recommended for mostly urban travel - of course, if you intend to do more outdoor/rural travels, consider the regular/heavy-duty boots.
