Pack Your Bag, Travel Light: The Drifter Pack Guide

How to Pack Your Backpack for a Trip

Backpacking is freedom. Adventure. Minimalism in motion. Whether you're going on a road trip, a city break, or traveling to the other side of the world, packing your bag properly is essential to avoid hassle and enjoy your trip to the fullest. Here's a simple and effective guide to help you build the perfect backpack—without forgetting anything, without weighing you down.


🧠 1. Choose the Right Backpack

It all starts with the bag. It must be adapted to your body shape and your travel style.

  • Size and comfort : Choose an ergonomic bag with good back support. Modern urban bags combine comfort and design.

  • Capacity :

    • Less than 15 days? 20 to 50 L is enough.

    • Longer stay? Choose 50 to 70 L.

  • Quick Access & Security : A bag with multiple compartments, easy opening and secure closures is a real game-changer.
