9 Benefits of My Travel Backpack
Although it really is a personal preference, my kids and I learned my lesson of lugging around our luggage on the streets of Malaysia. It was not a pleasant experience trying to walk 3 blocks from our hostel. From that day forward, I use a backpack whenever I take a trip.
1. I like both of my hands free when moving from place to place.
2. When in uneven terrain, I can walk much better with my backpack then dragging around a suitcase.
3. With a backpack, I know I need to minimize and downsize my clothing, shoes and items and bring only what I absolutely need for my trip.
4. I utilize the pocket areas and straps on my backpack. Most travel backpacks have multiple compartments and dividers that allow you to separate your items.
5. Minimizing theft during travel as my backpack is on my person.
6. Backpacks can be waterproof unlike getting caught in the rain with your cloth luggage.
7. Easy to store in the overhead of a bus, airplane or train.
8. Today’s backpacks can be light, flexible and strong with lots of pockets.
9. I can shop when traveling easier with my backpack!
