Hi all!

I’m going to London, Munich, and Bilbao in December and in order to save some money and so I don’t have to worry about losing a bag knowing that I’m plus size and it’ll be harder to find clothes.

Here is what I am planning to pack for clothes:

• a pair of jeans
• 2 sweaters
• a pretty casual dress
• some fleece lined tights
• a pair of chinos
• a pair of joggers
• my fall/spring coat (lighter than my winter coat)
• compression socks
• 2 pairs of pajamas
• underwear (obviously)
• tennis shoes with inserts to help with lower back pain when walking and standing

I live in Minnesota so winters are brutal up here so I don’t want to bring my winter parka if I don’t have to, but would snow boots be useful? Should I invest in a pair of hiking boots instead of tennis shoes?

For the most part, I’m planning on going to museums and historical building and will be inside, but in Munich I have a day trip to Dachau and another one to Neuschwantstein Castle and don’t want to be too chilly that I can’t enjoy it.

Any tips?
