[...] [...] I’ve backpacked through Europe with no backpack.  In my first ever trip abroad, I was forced to check my 55 liter backpack (which took me longer to plan for and pack than any other trip I’ve taken).  It made it’s way back to my home two days before I did, and I never once saw it in Europe.  That trip taught me a LOT of lessons, but most notably, you don’t need nearly as much as you think you do to succeed and have an awesome time while doing it.

Maybe a bit more practice would be to pack only what you can fit in carry on luggage. (A single small day packer backpack) If I'm correct my bqq Boa 3M would be just the right size. Take along a laptop (it's a laptop backpack after all) and a few essentials you can't buy along the way and just go out there. I'm planing to do something like this, but with the biggest difference being riding a motorcycle and only taking along what I can pack in a topcase. Let's see how many months of "Europe" I can survive before funds run out. Can you ride to Tibet over land? Now that's a nice adventure :) This sounds like the perfect way to start a proper adventure.
