You got mail Backpack Flags

FLAGS, FLAGS, FLAGS!

At the beginning of my round the world trip, a friend gave me a backpack flag of Israel. Since it was the first country, it seemed like a cool idea to fill my bag with flags as I go along. But it turned out backpack flags isn’t as popular as fridge magnets, postcards, t’shirts or mugs as travel souvenirs. In fact, I forgot all about this plan of collecting flags. I don’t think I encountered them at all in Europe. I do have fridge magnets of and sent out postcards in almost every city.

I saw one again when I get New York. I thought of getting it but wondered about the 15 countries I was in and not have the flags of. It seemed like a pointless pursuit. But I continue to encounter backpack flags in South America, even European and Asian flags in La Paz.  And  when I saw this super nice united South America flags in the shape of its map, I couldn’t resist. I’m back to collecting. So for those countries I missed, I was confident I could find some Chinese factory that sells all the flags in the world.

Of course it wasn’t one of the first thing I took care of when I came back 3 months ago. I had work and social life to get back into after all. It came to me only when I came across the united South American flag map organizing my stuff. I haven’t fully unpacked yet, hehe. I went online and searched backpack flags. Guess what I found?
