If you read my post titled Long Distance Travel Must- Haves, then you would know travelling with a backpack is a must for me.  But, since arriving back in Canada and going back to my everyday life I have realized that it is just as awesome for day to day adventures.  I had never really used a backpack for everyday errands and I don’t know why?! I am obsessed.  They’re just so handy!  First, you have so much room.  Yes, I know what you’re thinking with room comes weight but because it is evenly distributed between both shoulders it doesn’t feel heavy.  Since using my backpack, I have yet to use a single plastic bag from the grocery store all because I actually have room for my reusable shopping bags in my purse!!  That in itself is a major win.
