Pack for a week – and count out all of the things you’ll be carrying to help you decide. If you’re just getting a bigger pack for the gifts, you’ll end up filling up that space once it opens up. You might be better of shipping the presents if they’re not to big (saving your back over the long haul).

Personally I travel with a 60L and a day pack; though everyone has a different style. I would also strongly recommend buying a few to try out then return – nothing like packing a bag to see how much space you need or have left (also helps you discard those things you over-packed).

Hope this helps and let me know how it goes!

Hi,

I am going travelling in october and am new to it all!
I was thinking about getting a large pack probably around 70/80ltr with a day pack attached, I am going for about 18 months starting in the UK and first stop being USA and wanted space for gifts to give my family in NZ which is my next stop!

I am soooooo unsure what size bag to get now

advice would be great

cheers
