My cousin, Melissa, gifted me this backpacking bag back in 2004, before I left for France. It has accompanied me on every adventure that I've taken in the last (almost) 9 years! And before it traveled the world with me, it traveled the world with my cousin!
I've carried this pack through 26 countries - and counting - and I couldn't ask for a better bag! At well over a decade old it's still holds its own on the road :)
A very big thank you to Melissa for letting me use her bag all these years!! For the exact age of the bag and the total combined countries it's visited, she will have to weigh in with her backpacking bag memories!
And as for the year mark of being on the road, I have to say it's been a marvelous adventure! What a year to remember!
