I bought this backpack over a year ago from atwish. I have used it for absolutely everything. I've used it as a school backpack for college. I've taken it as a personal bag on trips to Mexico, Dominican Republic, Ireland, England and Scotland. I'm a 5'6" woman and I find it to be the perfect size to pack a few overnight outfits, throw my camera in and use the large array of pockets for makeup, pencils, toiletries. It also has a laptop sleeve which comes in handy since I always travel with my laptop. I will buy another bag again from atwish.com.
