I am planning on a 1- to 2-month backpacking trip through Europe (hostels, EuRail, couchsurfing - lol-, etc..) this summer, and I'm trying to find a backpack so I can practice and figure out what I need to bring.
I read to bring anywhere from 30 to 65 L bag, which I found a nice 50-ish L (3350 cu. in.) online. I'll prolly go to a store and try some on, though just to make sure.
The thing is, I'm really into photography, and I was looking at backpacks that have front loading camera pockets for an SLR camera, lenses, memory cards, etc. But, they don't look big enough to take on a long trip like where I'm going.
Does anyone know of any stores/brands/etc.. that offer a 2-in-1 type deal, a great pack to hold a camera & supplies plus all my stuff? If not... what should I do? I really don't wanna throw my stuff in a huge bag... I want the protection, ya know?
Oh.. and if anyone wants to offer any other advice, feel free. This is my first trip, so I'm really nervous! :-)
