After research I found that a backpack was more my suit. I picked the Osprey Farpoint 55 Liter.
It’s worn like a backpack but the straps hide away for you to check it in, BUT it’s also small enough to carry on.. which will save me $ down the line as a lot of airlines charge for checked luggage. It has a 2nd day pack attached to it that I use for my electronics & second carry on.
Two backpacks you ask? Well the smaller one detaches from the back then attaches to the front of the shoulder straps & fits like a regular daypack for everyday excursions when needed.
Inside I’m using some eBay Cube Organizers I swooped up for $10 shipped for organized packing.
