I travel 200,000 miles a year. This is the best travel backpack I can’t leave home without

I’ve tried everything from big rollers to tiny duffels – these are the two options that are far superior to all of the others

Last year, I covered over 200,000 miles in the air. I visited 14 countries and spent around 150 nights away from home, which meant spending almost half of my life living out of a suitcase. I don’t say this to brag – being on the road this much is not something to be proud of – I say it so that you can trust me when I say that surviving a travel schedule like mine requires having the right bags.

Over the years, I’ve tried everything from big rollers to tiny duffels. In the end, these are the two companions that you’ll always find by my side as I sprint from one connection to the next, and what sets them above so many other options.
