For Backpackers - This pack is my go-to! Great if you're planning on taking lots of trains and busses, and perfectly sized for most hostel lockers!

For Non-Backpackers! This is my favorite carry-on! It's super durable and can hold an entire week of clothes AND a spare pair of shoes. Perfect size if you're taking lots of flights where luggage costs extra.

If you're staying in hostels - this is super handy as it dries, quickly, packs up very small, and saves you having to rent towels!
