We just returned from our 11th trip to Europe and I keep finding new tricks to make the travel more comfortable.

I could probably write a long post on travel hacks that I’ve learned, but today I’ll share a simple one … NEW SOCKS. Before we left for our 16 day trip to Europe this month, I bought two 8-packs of comfy new socks on Amazon.

There’s nothing better than slipping on new socks before a day of mountain hiking, city strolling, or bike touring. I had a soft, unsullied pair for each morning of our trip. The kind I bought had 4.7 stars with almost 5K reviews on Amazon.

On this trip, I even had new shoes … although those required a little breaking in. New socks can go right from the package onto your feet. When we got home, I expunged my sock drawers of all of my old socks.

Great travel hack. Try it!

What’s your favorite travel hack to share for a week long trip or more?
