As someone who hikes nonstop, travels full-time, and is always carrying lots of camera gear, you can imagine a backpack is quite important to me. I use it every day and store my most valuable possessions inside. I spent a few years trying different bags and had a few that I enjoyed but none came close to the Atlas Athlete from Atlas Packs. In this article, I’ll give you as much information as I can and even share with you the backpacks I used in the past and why the Atlas Athlete outperforms them.

I’m an Australian adventure traveler who has been on the road for eight years now. After graduating with a journalism degree, I set off to explore the world while creating adventure travel guides featuring hikes, waterfalls, beaches & adrenaline activities. I hope my travels give you the motivation to set off on an epic adventure of your own. It’s been a wild ride. This is my Journey Era.
