When traveling long-term, a backpack is much more sensible than multiple suitcases, even if they roll. A backpack is much easier to get up and down hills and through cobblestone streets than something you have to carry by hand. Some backpacks are so large now that they almost double as suitcases, but they are much more comfortable than hauling something by hand. A travel backpack is an excellent investment for anyone that would like to go on a long-term trip.
Most travelers will carry two: a day pack and a larger travel backpack in the range of 60-70 liters. Having two bags provides a lot of versatility and means that the larger one can be left in a hostel or hotel during the day. Most accommodation options have secure storage so it is not a problem. Luggage locks can also be used on the backpacks straps and zippers so that they remain secure even on your back. They are the perfect travel companion.
