Yes! Thank you.

Group activities are a great idea and is actually one of the main reasons why I want to CouchSurf. I figure the locals of each place I stay at will definitely know the city, and could show me good spots, to go out and explore. I'm sure I'll do several pub crawls too.

I'm taking my smartphone which will help me with maps. I can download maps straight to my phone for offline usage (I'm suspending my service for a month as to not incur any outrageous charges), and will only use WiFi and my GPS. I think this is better so as not to yell "Tourist!" when fumbling through big maps. I can get virtually any guidebook in PDF form for my smartphone or on my Kindle too.

My backpack, an Osprey Farpoint 70 has a removable daypack so I'm set on that!

THE LESS LUGGAGE THE BETTER! I would hone your luggage down to one main piece and a daypack each. I backpacked solo through Europe for a month and a half and used the Osprey Farpoint 70 Travel Pack, which I would HIGHLY recommend. - http://www.amazon.com/Osprey-Farpoint-70-Travel-Backpack/dp/B003GBYXGM

It's a backpack that has suitcase features, while stille keeping the jetsetter in mind.

  1. The pack zips open in the front, which allows you to more easily find things rather than digging through all your belongings from the top.

  2. Since you're jumping on trains/airplanes and such, it has a pull-out cover that allows you to zip the backpack straps into the pack, making it streamlined and reducing your chances of the straps getting caught or cut.
  3. My favorite feature was the zip-off daypack that comes with it. It was perfect for toting around my laptop or anything else I needed while I was away from the hostels.

    I would advise against rolling luggage due to the hassle. I saw SO many travelers being held up, getting the rollers caught on things, trying to maneuver the wheels through cobblestone streets, trying to lug them onto trains, etc... basically a travel nightmare. With a pack, you're able to quickly move through crowds, and your belongings are much less likely to get snagged.

    As for the souvenir part, I would recommend mailing things home. Whenever my pack got a little too snug, I would go to the nearest post office and ship some things back to the States. It saved me SO much headache and allowed me to buy whatever I wanted without destroying my back.

    Also, check out packing cubes. It allowed me to fit a lot more in my confined pack, while keeping it all nice and organized. It was also great when I got to a new location since I was able to simply take out the cubes and stuff them in a drawer for easy access.

    Enjoy your travels!

I have it and it is great! Carry on size (it is a tad bigger than the recommended size but it fits perfectly in the over head compartment and a detachable day pack. the back pack straps can be enclosed if you need to check it. Ospreys always have a life time warranty.
