Hi, looking to see if anyone has any recommendations? Need to upgrade my backpack. Also would be keen to know what weight everyone prefers to take? Last time I travelled I borrowed my brother's 70l one, I don't know if that was too big though.
Thanks 😊
I'm really wondering the same thing! I'm planning to travel for a year next fall, and I've already bought a travel towel and some other essentials, but I have such a problem deciding on a backpack! I have looked at the Ospray ones but I don't like that the laptop compartment is in the front. I've been looking into the Eagle Creek one Christianne is using, but then again I don't know what size I should pick. The backpack will be like my home for a year and I want to pick a good one.
But then again, I'm really starting to consider the 40L one because I quite like the idea of just having carry on. Its my first solo adventure and I'm an 18 year old girl (hate to be stereotypical ) so I don't quite know if I could handle such limited choice of outfits because my friends were so shocked when I brought up the idea of travelling only with cary on but people do make travelling with only carry on sound great and I'm not that high maintenance so I'm really beginning to be swayed.
I haven't been yet but I'm planning on doing a 6 month trip round Australia, Nz and then volunteering in Fiji and I'm really considering buying something similar to the Eagle Creek bag Christianne took to Columbia but the larger version of it which is 60L I think but I could be wrong there. Because I'm going to need different outfit styles for volunteering vs travelling round Aus and I know that ill buy loads od clothes there I was thunking about starting with some staples and then sending a package home before I move onto volunteering.
