Top 5 / Other

Choosing the right backpack is a crucial decision that will affect the whole of your trip. This is especially true for long-term travel because it will be the piece of equipment you use every day for as long as you are away from home.

Osprey Aura 65 Women’s Backpack

Female travelers should seriously consider a backpack built for women’s body shapes, and this pack from Osprey is among the best on the market. It’s lightweight and comfortable, with plenty of adjustment possible to fine tune the pack to your body.

Deuter Aircontact 65+10

If you are going to be doing a lot of hiking, this Deuter pack is a great option thanks to its mobile hip fins which follow the movements of your body. The pack also helps keep air flowing over your back thanks to a 3D AirMesh cover.

 

PacSafe VentureSafe 65

Traveling abroad can be a daunting prospect, but thankfully Pacsafe added a raft of safety features to this pack. The pack is aimed at those traveling to riskier areas, and has five anti-theft features that prevent pickpocketing, slashing and snatching.

Osprey Farpoint 55

The best feature about this pack is the full zip, which affords access to everything inside. No more digging around from the top. Aside from that it features a zip-off day pack, which is a two-in-one solution. Osprey has a great reputation and this pack is great.

Eagle Creek Deviate 60

Eagle Creek offers a lifetime warranty on all of its products, and the Deviate pack packs a lot of useful features into its frame. The clip-on day pack and built-in rain cover make for great functionality.

Where Can You Find the Mai Tai Mile?

Stay at Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawai’i and you may think your experience consists solely of private, residential-style luxury and perhaps the occasional fresh pineapple, but Rosewood Resort has something else a little special. More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai. Each distinct drink is inspired by its setting and comes with its own story.
