Hey readers! Hope you’re well 🙂
Today my backpack came, the Osprey Farpoint 70 which I purchased from eBay for £107 only two days ago! I thought now is as good a time as any to buy it as MY VISA WAS ACCEPTED FOR AUSTRALIA!!! I can’t believe it, I’m so over the moon. So to help things feel a little more real, I’ve bought myself a nice, shiny new bag to try and get it to all sink in!

As I said, it’s from Osprey, a highly respected brand in the travelling world; a reason I felt I could trust in them. There are a couple of alternatives in regards to size and colours etc. But after reading plenty I decided on the 70 litre in charcoal grey. It comes with a handy detachable day pack which makes up 15 of the 70 litres. The day pack has a compartment for your laptop, along with a smaller section for and items you wanna grab quickly from the top of the bag. On the outside it has yet another zipped compartment along with two bottle holders. Leaving the remaining 55 litres as the main bag itself.
The bag opens like a suitcase as opposed to the top loaders, making it much much easier to get things in and out! Remember, when on the go you want to make your life as easy as possible so this is a huge selling point. On the inside of the bag, there are two compartments, of which i’ll probably use for any documents you might want to keep handy. The 55 litres in the main bag looks like more than enough space for all my clothes, shoes and other items, but for me a little extra space is welcome as I don’t want to be caught out and run out of space for things I might buy around the world. Another nice touch gives more peace of mind to the traveller as there are metal rings on each zip allowing a lock to be attached. Just to make you feel that little be happier about your lovely belongings whilst you’re away.
The size I bought is M/L and seems perfect for me as I am 6ft1 (185cm) tall. The bag itself seems incredibly durable and made of a strong material that I’m sure will last (If I take care of it that is) and I can’t wait to pack my life up into this bag and escape on a once in a lifetime adventure! 😀 I feel confident in this bag and would definitely recommend it so far to anyone wondering, like I was, about what bag to get.
I’d love to hear what bags you all use and why. Maybe you’ve even had this very same bag! Let me know, I’d love to hear from you 🙂 I hope this gives some insight for anyone looking for a good quality bag and narrows down the options a bit.
