Hi Eagle!
Thanks for the great information! ; )
How did you lock up your camera in your daypack while you slept? Did you just put a lock on the zipper?
Thanks again!

Hi!
I have a Nikon D50 (with 2 lens and a flash) and I am currently debating whether I should bring it to Europe (my first backpack trip) or get another smaller digital camera... I really want to bring it along with me (especially since I love photography and take so many pictues) but I am afraid that it will be unpractical (especially since I will be travelling alone)...
I am planning to go swing dancing and maybe paragliding and skiing while in Europe and I was wondering what I could do with my camera during that time... Do hostels allow you store your camera at the reception desk? Is it safe to keep it in the lockers for a long time? Do all hostels have lockers?
I was also wondering what to do with my camera when I sleep...
I read the comments about the backpacks that are made with cameras in mind, but I was wondering if there was a practical way to keep the camera close for quick reach (so not keeping it in the big backpack) without having another backpack ou big pouch (which I currently use) on me... I also find the vest a little bulky... It seems like the day-pack of the big backpacks would be the best idea from what I read... any suggestions?
Did anybody regret bringing their slr along?
Thanks!

I was hoping on deciding whether to bring them to Europe before actually buying them... but I guess that I can always use them in future camping trips even if I decide not to bring them after buying them... Trying them would indeed be the best thing to test them ; P
And since I am already bringing 4 pairs of shoes with me I'm rather not bring both hiking boots and running shoes.. I'm trying to chose one of these 2 pairs...
Thanks for your help!

I had another question for the hiking shoes/boots... Are they comfortable to walk around in towns (with the hard sole and lack of breatheable materials)? I've never owed a pair of hiking boots...

Hello!
I am wondering whether a 62 or 75 liters backpack would be better for a 2 months trip to Europe. I measure 5'7" and I'm a solo woman who tends to bring a lot of things when I travel ; P I actually just bought a 62 L backpack, but I can return it if I want it bigger...
I am also wondering what to do about shoes... I am going to be travelling between April 8th and June 12th. Although I am unsure of my itinerary (I am planning to "see as I go"), I will start of in Paris, then go to England, then Czech Republic, Austria, Italy and maybe Turkey (I might add a few countries here and there). Anyways, I just found a pair of leather hiking boots that are really comfortable, and I was wondering if I should bring hicking boots along. On the one hand, I find them really comfy and I hears that hicking boots are really important when backpacking... On the other hand, I am not planning to do a lot of hiking (although I might do a little). However I will walk a lot ; P Nonetheless I am afraid that my feet will cook in these boots ; S However, I am also planning on bringing nice shoes, sport sandals and flip-flops...
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your help : D
