First time solo traveler, does my pack look OK? +other questions
Hey, I've travelled before quite a bit but never on my own. Always with people and in comfortable hotels and things. This is the big one. Landing in Lisbon, staying a few days, then flying to Barcelona, staying for a few days, then who knows from there. I have travel insurance until October 20th and it's extendable, so that's roughly the duration I'll be gone. Leaving Sept 12.
Does my pack look OK? Am I forgetting anything major? I never really worry about this but being on my own has added a layer of anxiety lol.
Pack: http://ift.tt/2wSFZEb
Items:
-
Poncho (rain)

Carabiner (to attach small bag to big bag)

Toiletries, gum (dunno why that's there, probably will just go in my pocket lmao)

Notebook

Ereader

Charging cables, adapters

Questions:
-
I might have issues with weight restrictions - if there was anything you could cut out, what would it be?
-
I've never done a trip where I leave things so open-ended. After Barcelona, I'll be planning things pretty last minute, likely maybe 2-4 days in advance. Is that acceptable/reasonable? I don't have a Eurail pass.
-
Any tips from weathered travellers? Things you wish you knew the first time going solo?
Thanks for your help everyone
