My grandparents said they would help me out for my upcoming trip by buying a backpack for my upcoming 21st birthday. I noticed Kathmandu had a 50% sale on and thought there no better time then the present, so I went out a bought this pack:

The only difference is mine is black. The RRP is ridiculous and I definitely wouldn’t pay $619.95 for backpack, but because it was 50% off I got it for $310. The service was great and the guy who served me really knew his stuff, its surprising how complicated backpacks can be, mine has sooo many adjustments it’s crazy, but most make the pack way more comfortable and are well worth it if your going to be using it a lot.

That brings me pretty much all the way on my trips check list, just need my travel insurance sorted and I’m all set!
