  How about a fancy compass?  He likes to travel, so he may like that.

  I would go with either something consumable (is he into wine? whiskey?) or something he can use for traveling. Try to figure out if he needs or could use anything. If he is a backpack-around kind of guy and it is in the budget, maybe a new backpack or something?

  Or even better....a backpack with some whiskey inside! 
  
  
  ETA:  and definitely the compass....he may need it after he gets into the whiskey.
  
  Seriously though, all of those are great ideas

  What about a gift card for a restaurant he likes while he is visiting? I also like the travel ideas. There are some really neat travel backpacks, money belts, etc. that he might find useful. I'd check out some travel shops or stuff from a guide like Rick Steeves. Depending on your budget, a camera might be good, too.

  Everything's better with whiskey.  Even bacon!  XD
  
  
  
  I like the idea of something useful for traveling.  If you don't know of anything he needs, a gift certificate to a store with traveling/outdoor supplies would probally be apprecated.  And if you want to give something personal, maybe engrave something?  A compass or some other tool?

  I used to know a bunch of backpackers, but that was in college. Good luck!

  Eurorail Pass if he is going to Europe.
  
  I went to Europe after college and my Dad got me a really nice, leather bound travel journal.  It was great.  In addition to having blank pages to write on, it had maps and other useful travel information e.g. currency conversion, world time, etc.

  if he's going to Europe directly after,you could buy him a membership to YHA, a chain of youth hostels that gives members discounts on nights and I think other perks (though it's been a while since I looked into them so may want to double-check).
