A minimalist backpack
I'm about to leave for Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam, and Casablanca. My goals when traveling is keeping things light and simple. By having all your crucial items in a single backpack, it helps keep your itinerary flexible and ready for anything. My packing-list has evolved over the years. It first started when I started committing to travel with only a carry-on. Even then, I was able to bring way more than I needed.
Nowadays, I travel with just a single backpack. This allows me to bring only the essentials... which makes trying around trying to find your train, or even if you have to, sleeping outside a little bit easier.
