I really like this backpack for traveling. It fits my electronics, laptop, books, etc in the main compartment quite nicely. It also has a front compartment for pens, passports, tissues, etc. On the very top is a small zipped area for whatever small items you need readily available such as headphones or money. The nicest part is that the inside of the backpack is a bright teal or aqua colour so you can see all of your items easily.
