re: Backpacking in Europe vs. Asia?

I was going to do Europe, but during the final countdown I switched to Asia. It was the heat of the moment and only time will tell if I made the right choice.

You are working my side of the street now, Doug Punny.

OP:

Europe with a Woman
Asia with your Bros

RyanAir once you are in Europe, very cheap flights, you can hit all corners of the continent easily and cheaply.

I went with the Osprey Farpoint 55.

I did two weeks in Europe this summer using an Osprey 38. It had enough room for a camera tripod, camera lenses, 7 piece flyrod, a memory foam pillow and clothes. It was stuffed, but easily fit in the overhead. I'd never bother with a suitcase. Some of the smaller towns we visited were tough to get taxis so we walked a couple miles to hotels and train stations. Would have been a pain dragging a suitcase.

Now I'm looking into travel packs. Do you have extensive knowledge about packs?
