This is a fantastic cheaper 50l bag! Backpacks can get really expensive but this one is awesome at a killer price :)
Loowoko 50L Waterproof Hiking Backpack

Accommodation!
These are the best websites to find accommodation while traveling at the best prices! (Make sure you read the descriptions)
I know you have probably heard of booking.com. However what you might not know is that they have a free rewards program and you reach different tiers when you book places through them. Most hostels are on Booking.Com and when you backpack you tay a lot of different places so you climb the rankings pretty fast. I have saved a ton of money because I get awesome discounts here now! Also most the places here you pay online (Hostelworld makes you pay at the property ...
Booking.com: The largest selection of hotels, homes, and vacation rentals
Hostelworld is the most well known place to book hostels (where you usually stay when you backpack) I book here or Booking.Com but even if you book on a website outside of hostelworld I always recommend that you read the reviews of the place you are staying on this website becasuew they will be the most insightful and helpful!
