Beautiful pictures and your narration of the women with the suitcases made me laugh!😆
Clever storytelling.
I never thought about what it might be like traveling in Europe and the importance of a backpack. I have a "good enough" backpack for work but your post is making me think it may be time to buy a good travel backpack. I love the idea of traveling light.
If you google "Paul Akers Lean Travel" he has a book and some great YouTube videos about traveling light. I think you would like it.
I checked the video......doesn't fit my style.
No suitcase. :)
Also that is wayyyyyy too much :)
I am in fact try to approach Jack Reacher model, when travelling solo :) I am not quite there yet. You just wash your clothes at hotel sink at night :)
I haven't carried a spare shoe/flip flop in decades.....
I love the Jack Reacher books! Only travels with a toothbrush and buys clothes and the thrift store instead of doing laundry. Thanks for the reminder of this :-)
Apprecicate the link to the backpack, I'll check that one out.
This is the one me and all four of my family members currently use, on every single trip. I have literally traveled the world with this. The girls in both the family pictures, all wearing this backpack. They have men and women versions, same volume.

My wife and I are both geologists, we have been "travelling light" for last 35 years :)
