As many flock to Europe to enjoy a summer break, one woman's depiction of what #Eurosummer can actually be like has left viewers online in stitches.

The short clip has been viewed more than 2.4 million times since it was shared to TikTok on June 17. Boulden captioned the post: "In honor of this gem a year ago."
Viewers are able to see Boulden's friend trying to carry her 30 kilogram suitcase before pausing for breaks. Her exhausted expression has sparked plenty of laughter among viewers online. The creator had shared on her account that she is based in Sydney, Australia, meaning that she would have had to travel for over 16,000 kilometers to reach the tourist hotspot in Italy's Lombardy region.

Never a backpack girlie."
