Doesn't traveling in a group of fellow vegans sound amazing? Or do you prefer to travel on your own?

For years, I traveled with a backpack and still own my old, trusted Eagle Creek backpack.  After many, many trips, the time came to replace it and this time, I chose to buy a Cotopaxi and have not regretted it.

My pack of choice is the Allpa42, which I have used on our Berlin-Prague-Vienna trip last year (funnily, another guest had the exact same one, in the same colors also) as well as around Asia earlier this year.

Admittedly, I do not always travel with only a carry on but its size is generally accepted by airlines as a carry on.

I am not a fan of hardshell suitcases at all and many times, you will need a soft case for ease of being able to stuff it in a small vehicle, for example on safari.

Packing cubes are great, especially if you are a) trying to stay organized and b) saving space while traveling. Having them all in the same color is not ideal in my opinion and I love the design of those which feature some major sites in the world
