Hiking/Travel backpack

[Vandab]

Hi all, new here. Here's the deal. I'm going on a 2 week trip from New York to London to Morocco. I do not want to bring a wheelie bag or check anything so I would like to carry everything in this bag. I will probably only be bringing limited clothes, a camera with one lens, maybe two, and no laptop. I will be moving most of the time and only staying in one place a night or two at a time.

I have no dedicated packs of size anymore that aren't pretty strictly camera bags. So I need a real travel/hiking backpack. Flat loading instead of the cavernous hiking types would be appreciated.

Anyone got a bag they just throw on their back and head into the yonder for weeks on end? I only have two flights and going home is no big deal but since I will be moving, I would hate to lose a checked bag on the flight to start the trip.

Thanks

I'm so sorry for taking over a year to reply.
I had forgotten about my forum.
I'll answer this now for the sake of anyone else who stumbles on this post.
I favor Gossamer Gear's biggest backpacks.
I've used them for years.
They are lightweight, yet sturdy and of high capacity.
Which model you get depends on how much capacity you need.
I like the Mariposa line.

Happy travels,
