I am planning on trying to backpack through Mexico for 8 weeks. I am just wondering if anyone has ever done this and how much it cost them roughly Thanks

Answer
I assume you aren't talking about hiking/backpacking through the wilds. You expect to be staying in hostels, traveling by bus, etc? The word in Spanish for those types of travelers is "mochilero".

You can find hostels throughout Mexico, even Mexico City, for less than $10 to $15 a night. Bus travel is relatively cheap. Public transportation in cities is very inexpensive, especially the metro in Mexico City. Restaurants can be very inexpensive. The cost will depend on where you go, how much bus travel (travel night buses and beat a hotel cost). How frugal you are. You can "get by" on as little as $10 to $20 a day.

The Bible for mochileros is the "Let's Go" series. I recommend you buy it or at least review it and other guidebooks (The Rough Guide, Footprint, Lonely Planet) to plan your trip.

What type of backpack is best for international travel?

During my trip, I will be outside and very active most of the time, so I need a backpack that is comfortable (preferably lightweight), durable, and can carry what I need for the day.

I have never travelled internationally before and I am not sure what to expect or what type of backpack will be best. I have seen good reviews about The North Face backpacks as well as the Ogio Fugitive backpack. Which brand or specific backpack is the best for travel and being outdoors?

Answer
One that conforms to the airline size/weight limitations otherwise it will end up in the hold!
