Living in England, I’m in the perfect position to pop across to Europe for the weekend – and I do, as much as I possibly can. Flights can be incredibly cheap if you go with a budget airline – we’re talking less than £50 for a return – but there’s a catch, you can generally only take hand luggage.
For a lot of people, I can imagine this would be hell, but I prefer going on short breaks with only a rucksack in hand. It’s easier to get around cities when you’re not lugging a suitcase behind you, and I end up taking only the things I need, not the things I think I’ll need.
But for any of this to be possible, you need a decent backpack, and I’m not going to lie, I like mine to be on the nerdy side. If i’m carrying it around all weekend, I want it to be comfortable – sure – but I also want it to look good, and make me feel good. I love bags that fuel my inner geek and make me feel like myself, so I thought I’d share some of my favourites.

I love travelling light – but always take a small cabin suitcase! However, I do love a cute rucksack for running about London! I’m not sure which one is my favourite. Maybe the Captain Marvel one.

I was always the same, until I went on a Ryan Air plane. You’re only allowed to take a rucksack with you unless you pay extra, so Jess and I saw it as a bit of a challenge, and I found it surprisingly easy. Turns out you don’t need that much at all if you’re only going away for a couple of days. I’m definitely an overpacker generally, but it was quite liberating taking only the things I actually needed.

I love all of these, but why do they have to be so damn small?! The only bigger sized geeky backpacks I’ve seen are a range made by a company for World of Warcraft and those are ridiculously overpriced (we’re talking over $125). It’s like… hi I have a laptop, a tablet, a camera, and loads of other stuff that I want to carry about, could I have something geeky that actually fits real life stuff please?!

Haha yeah, I guess Loungefly have a bit of a thing with what they call ‘mini’ Backpacks, and I think most of these fall under that category. I personally pack pretty light and prefer a smaller backpack, but it would certainly be handy if they stocked bigger sizes too so you had the option.
