Why traveling with a 75L pack reminds me of a poorly assembled burrito

I have now arrived in Toronto for pre-departure training and have re packed my large bag for the 4th time since I left Calgary on July 2nd. You see, while there are advantages to traveling with a 75L backpack, there is one significant disadvantage: trying to get the clothes you need out of it is a little bit like trying to find the guacamole you want in a poorly made burrito.


You know your shirt is in their somewhere, but is it under that pair of sandels or my extra toothpaste? The end result is an explosion of clothes across my hostel room that even my teenaged-self would consider a little extreme.


The good news is, after I thought of this analogy, I found a delicious burrito in downtown Toronto.


Alls well that ends well I guess. Time to repack!
