part of the 30 Days of Indie Travel Project<\/a><\/p>\n

i\u2019ve had this trusty little 35L backpack (with a curious george patch that i sewed on all by myself!) for almost 7 years now. from my first solo trip to the czech republic<\/a>\u00a0in january of 2005 to a long weekend in cambodia<\/a>\u00a0just a couple months ago, it\u2019s been with me all across the globe. it\u2019s perfect because i\u2019ve never had to check it (except maybe once or twice because it didn\u2019t meet german low-cost carrier definitions of an acceptable carry-on) and thus never have to wait at baggage claim. plus, no pesky wheels like with a regular roll-aboard to get stuck in the mud or go clack-clack-clack<\/em> on cobblestone streets at 6 AM when you are trying to catch the bus to take you to the airport.<\/p>\n

unfortunately it\u2019s not too conducive for long trips since i am too lazy\/busy to do laundry and i don\u2019t like to rewear clothes, although i did once manage to make it work for an 8-day trip to stockholm, helsinki, and tallinn<\/a>\u00a0(don\u2019t ask how).<\/p>\n

if i don\u2019t use this, i have a large wheeled duffel bag<\/a> that\u2019s my other primary piece of luggage. it doesn\u2019t look big, but it can definitely hold a lot (though a vuvuzela was a bit tricky<\/a> with 2 weeks\u2019 worth of clothes in there)<\/p>\n
