You may not have enough warm clothing. I don't know which months you will be where but london, paris, switzerland and austria can be quite unpredictable and chilly in may. you could encounter temps as low as 10 C or as high as 25 C or so. nighttime lows particularly in the mountains could be much less.
you'll also probably buy some souvenirs along the way, you want to make sure your pack isn't too full so you can put stuff in.

the order is mid may paris, then switzerland, eastern europe, then London in early July. I have a jumper, coat & scarf, plus jeans...Im pretty good with cold weather so that should suffice...yeah?
I bought the High Sierra Passport, but Its still on its way. The website says its 45L so if my stuff fits into a 30L then the extra 15 will give me room to move around i think
