<human>: So I am studying abroad in Germany next year. But before I go, my friends and I are planning on doing a two (or so) week trip around Europe. They are all going to other countries (France, Spain, etc.). I was wondering what to do with our bags. I will obviously need way more for the semester than the two weeks. Since I won't want to carry two (or whatever) huge bags with me as I travel on trains, stay in hostels, etc., I have narrowed my options down to: have my parents ship my bags from home when I arrive at school or ship my bags myself when I initially arrive in Europe. Any suggestions? I don't know how I would ship or really anything at this point, so all information is welcome. Thanks!

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I am spending two weeks in Europe before studying abroad and don't want all my stuff. How should I go about getting my things to my final destination?
