Great blog. While traveling overseas, I always take the exact size bag alloted on the air craft, but I do not pack very much. I do this because I may shop and would have space for the new items that now belong to me. Having your own bag really helps if your a last minute packer like me…trying to catch that flight back to the states and not having enough room in my suitcases so I have heavy carry on’s lol.

That sounds like a fantastic trip! Enjoy! Make sure you check out travel resource list as well to help track down travel resources. Also, if you've got more questions as you go ask them via twitter of @AlexBerger. Here's a direct link to the bag. They don't give a L description for it, but claim it's 3,096 CU IN.

Hello! I’m planning a backpacking trip for two weeks with my cousin to go visit some areas in Poland where our family is from. I’ve never been backpacking before and this site is fantastic advice for us (we both want to pack as light as possible). How many liters or cubic inches was the pack that you used? Thanks so much!

Excellent list, as well as tips from the readers.

One thing I’d like to clarify is that Canada also uses chip credit cards, so if you’re travelling in Canada, be prepared to have to use your PIN to use your credit card (assuming your card has the PIN feature.)

Happy travels.

I’ll usually take my toothbrush, small nail clippers, razors and deodorant with me. Then pick up toothpaste, soap and shaving cream once I’ve arrived at my destination. Current TSA search regulations are so haphazard and obnoxious, I got fed up of having things randomly confiscated. I hear wetnaps are fantastic and they will be something I’ll be adding to the list for my upcoming trip. Especially as I’ll be taking several extended 17+ hour bus rides.

What about toiletries? Do you carry anything with you of that sort from toothpaste to soap?
