(First picture is not mine)
18 months is a rather long time to be travelling, covering many countries, many seasons and many different climates. So what am I going to cram into my 60 litre back pack for 18 months of travel? (Exciting update- I got a new travel backpack for Christmas so I now have 95 litres instead of 60! yay)
