Kofi Landon, who also goes by @Kofi.travels is a ‘boy with a dream of travelling the world’ and with that dream in mind, Kofi documents his adventures from all over the world, sharing his backpacking and travel tips with his 80k+ followers. An essential for Kofi is our Allpa Del Dia Travel Pack which accompanies him on his travels, continue reading to hear Kofi’s Cotopaxi essentials and top tips for backpacking…

1. Pack Light, but smart. You don’t need to bring your entire wardrobe. Stick to the essentials, and remember, if you can’t wear it, eat it, or use it in multiple ways, leave it behind. Think of versatile items like a multi-tool, a good water bottle, and a lightweight jacket.

2. Invest in good gear. Your backpack and shoes are your best friends. Spend a little extra on quality; your back and feet will thank you. Make sure to break in your shoes before your trip to avoid those nasty blisters!

3. Plan but stay flexible. Have a rough itinerary but don’t be afraid to go off the beaten path. Some of the best experiences happen when you least expect them. Just keep safety in mind and always have a backup plan.

4. Embrace that unknown backpacking is about exploring and embracing new experiences. Chat with locals, try new foods, and be open to new cultures. The world is full of incredible people and places waiting to be discovered.

5. Stay positive. Things won’t always go as planned, and that’s okay. Rain happens, you might get lost, or you might miss a bus. Keep a positive attitude, laugh at the little mishaps, and remember that they make for the best stories later. 

My essentials have really changed over the past year. As my love for travel has grown, so has my love for photography and videography. I would say now my number one essential I can't live without is my camera! It literally comes everywhere with me, capturing all the amazing moments and beautiful scenery I come across.

A second essential that’s vital to me is my snorkel mask. I absolutely love the ocean, and the feeling of seeing the rich sea life up close can't be beaten. It's so special. There have been a couple of times on my trip where I forgot my mask, and it honestly just ruins my day!

My third vital essential is my microfiber towel. It's incredibly efficient for fast travel since it dries in minutes. Plus, they're great because they fold away to small sizes, not taking up too much space in my pack. Super handy for those spontaneous swims and beach days!

How has Cotopaxi helped you in your travels?

Cotopaxi has been a total game-changer for my travels! First off, their gear is ridiculously reliable. I remember hiking up a rugged trail in Vang Vieng, Laos and my Cotopaxi travel pack felt like my trusty sidekick. The thoughtful design and durability meant I could focus on soaking up the stunning views rather than worrying about my gear falling apart.

But it’s not just about the gear. Cotopaxi’s commitment to sustainability and giving back makes every adventure feel more meaningful. Knowing that my purchase supports global poverty alleviation adds a layer of purpose to my travels. It feels good to explore the world while also making a positive impact.

And let’s not forget the style! Their vibrant, unique designs always get compliments and start conversations with fellow travellers. It’s like being part of this cool, colourful community of adventure lovers.

In short, Cotopaxi doesn’t just equip you for your journey; they inspire you to travel with heart and purpose and that’s why Cotopaxi has a special place in my heart! 

The 42L Allpa Del Día? Oh, where do I start? This bag has genuinely become my best mate for all kinds of adventures, whether I'm off for a weekend getaway or tackling a longer journey like the one I’m on now. 

First off, the colours! I mean, every Allpa Del Día is one-of-a-kind, and there's something so fun about knowing no one else has a bag quite like mine. It’s like carrying a piece of art on my back.

Functionally, this bag is a dream. The 42 liters of space are just right—not too big to be unwieldy but spacious enough to pack everything I need and then some. The multiple compartments and pockets keep me organised, which is a big deal for someone who usually ends up with a suitcase full of chaos. The laptop sleeve is a lifesaver for when I need to work on the go. Also to add, this bag can get away as carry-on luggage too, so saves you some money there!

Comfort-wise, the shoulder straps and back panel are super comfy, even when the bag is fully loaded. I’ve hauled it around airports, on hiking trails and through city streets without any trouble. It’s like it’s been designed with real people in mind, who actually use their bags for real adventures.

And the materials—seriously tough but still lightweight. I’ve put this bag through some rough treatment, and it’s held up like a champ. Plus, knowing it’s made from repurposed materials just adds a little extra feel-good factor.

All in all, the 42L Allpa Del Día is like the Swiss Army knife of travel bags: versatile, durable, and a little bit quirky. It's become a staple in my travel gear, and I can't imagine hitting the road without it.

I'm beyond excited about my upcoming adventures! I just touched down in Australia, and I’m ready to explore the stunning east coast. Over the next couple of months, I'll be soaking up the sun on beautiful beaches, diving into the vibrant local culture, and maybe even trying my hand at surfing (wish me luck!). From the bustling streets of Sydney to the laid-back vibes of Byron Bay, every stop promises something new and amazing.

Once I've had my fill of Aussie adventures, I’m heading over to Japan. I can’t wait to experience the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the serene temples in Kyoto, and let’s not forget the mouth-watering sushi! It's going to be an unforgettable journey.

Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning of what’s sure to be an epic travel story!
