I think this will be perfect for my upcoming trip to Europe! I like the versitility of the straps so it can either be a backpack or a shoulder bag. Some museums do not allow backpacks - so I can switch the look quickly. You can also make the bag look a little smaller by using the drawstring top instead of the zipper. There are not many internal pockets, but it seems to be perfect for my use and I do like that it doesn't look only like a backpack.
