    Thank you for this video! I’ve been tossed between a 55l and 75l travel/hiking hybrid backpack, and everyone seems to push towards smaller backpacks. Watching this gave me a decent idea of what can fit in a 75l, especially considering that I want to be able to use it in both cold and warm climates.👍+1

    You're heading to SE Asia again?? Cool if you are! 🤩 Would be awesome to travel there more! Great packing video. 75 litres would be quite big for me even though sometimes I'd appreciate the extra space. I normally travel with my 40-liter backpack which works great for me 😄

    Hey I hope you don’t mind me answering as I was in the same scenario 😅 the biggest thing was a lifestyle change for me which freed up a lot of money… Instead of spending it on stuff that I didn’t physically need I put it away and went without it (which was crazy hard in the beginning) but this helped massively towards saving money for travelling. Also having a set concrete figure of what you would like to save helps as well because you can break it down to small savings numbers which seem a lot more achievable☺️

    bro, you definitely overpacked IMO. Lot of those things you are carrying can be bought cheap on the spot and then thrown away when you go back home, like flip flops, t shirts, most of the clothes basically, toiletries, sunscream, etc. There is no need for 70 liter backpack, 50 is in most cases more then enough and provides much more freedom of movement during the travel which is the most important thing
