Our cabin only had four people in it, and I thought it would have been even more uncomfortable had it been fully booked with six people. However, I found that the 74-square-foot cabin didn't feel like enough space for myself and the other travelers, especially with everyone's luggage. Since I booked a shared room with up to five other people, I expected to feel a little cramped, but I anticipated being able to move around the room freely. To get from Vienna to Venice, I booked a bunk in a shared cabin on an overnight train run by Nightjet, a rail line that operates overnight routes between Austria, Italy, France, and the Netherlands, according to the company's website. I thought this would be the best way to travel through Europe so I could explore more during the day.īut the small, uncomfortable spaces I had to travel in for long periods of time made it hard to sleep.

I booked two overnight trains during my trip. The author rides a Nightjet sleeper train in Europe. I ended up only having room for two polos, one t-shirt, one long-sleeve t-shirt, three pairs of pants, a sweater, a blazer, a dress, and two light jackets.Īlthough I impressed myself by packing lighter than I ever had while still having everything I needed for the longest trip I'd ever taken, I couldn't help but feel disappointed in my limited outfit choices. I was hoping to bring two packing cubes full of clothing, but I could only fit one in my bag. Then I packed chargers, toiletries, and snacks before realizing my work gear and other essentials were taking priority over clothes. I started with my work gear, which included a laptop, cameras, lenses, and a notebook. I wasn't sure how well this bag would work for a two-week trip, so I practiced packing as lightly as possible to ensure I could fit everything. I picked the largest bag I own - a 32-liter backpack - for my trip to Europe.
