I need a new travel backpack. All my life I’ve only had two… the first one was a Jansport overnight pack. It’s color blue and has no special anything. It’s just a plain backpack with a pocket on the flap. But that’s what I used for the longest time, which reminds me that it is still with Carl. I had to replace it because the rubbery plastic coating of the lining inside the bag started to come off already. My second one was a North Face daypack. It still looks new but same with the Jansport, the coating inside is starting to come off and it’s making my clothes look dirty. Another thing is, it is small so I have to limit what I bring when going on a trip and I hate bringing more than one bag when traveling.

I love backpacks because it frees both your hands. I remember my friends and I bought a duffel bag, a Polo Sport one, and we all got the same type and color. It really is pretty but it’s also heavy even if it is still empty. So, just imagine me stuffing all my things in there. I was supposed to bring it when I went to La Union and Baguio but I barely could lift it when it was already full. I had to unpack again and transfer all my stuff to my North Face daypack. Haha! And I love backpacks because it is much easier to organize stuff in it. Imagine, I could make 7 days worth of clothes, toiletries, my swimwear, my towel, and my hoodie jacket in a daypack and it still has a little space on the top.

Anyway, this is what I’m planning to buy
