Wanna take a sneak peek in my travel bag? The Hubs and I will be heading overseas shortly to attend his friends wedding in Taiwan. So what better time to show you what’s in my bag travel edition! With travelling, it is important to bring along all the essential things, especially if you can’t speak the language there! Here’s a quick look into the items I’ve taken along with me!
In no particular order:
- Ipad: I’m bringing along my Ipad mainly for researching asian makeup and products so I know what I’ll be getting instead of looking puzzled in store.
- Tissues: Gotta carry a bunch of tissues around. You never know when you are going to need it.
- Lip balm: A must for me. As you know, I have fairly dry lips no matter how much lip balm I use.
- Water: When travelling, I always make sure I carry a bottle of water with me. Of course not on the plane but once I land, I usually stop buy a convenience store and stock up on water for the hotel room.
- Hand sanitiser: Always good to have. Sometimes you might not have access to the ladies room to wash your hands so using a hand sanitiser at least you are semi clean to eat haha
- Hand cream: For those dry hands of mine.
- Lipstick: I’m not the type of gal to be carrying a bunch of lippies with me while traveling. I just take a favorite of mine and use it for the entire trip..no ones going to notice anyway.
- Phone: Bringing my phone along so that I can call my mom and let her know I’ve arrived safely.
- Pen: This comes in handy when you have to fill in those custom declaration forms at the airport and taking notes during the trip.
- Passport: Leaving the country so have to bring it along with me.
- Purse: To carry my money and cards in.
- Mirror: I like to always have a mirror in my bag to check if I have food stuck on my face or hair. Believe it or not, it happens quite often.
- Pink pouch: To keep my passport, pen and tissues in. It’s good to have a larger pouch to keep the smaller items in there so it’s easier to find stuff.
I was super lucky and was sent the Hedgren Diamond Touch PAT backpack to use on my holiday. I was so excited when it was delivered, I was carrying it around the house (the hubs thought I was nuts).
Two things I love about Hedgren bags is how light and durable it is. Their bags have so many compartments, it’s awesome. This lovely backpack looks small but can fit quite a lot in there. The zip for the main compartment is located at the back of the bag. It’s a really smart and safe idea because I’m always paranoid that people could easily take things out of my bag without me noticing. By having the zip at the back, there is no way anyone will be able to unzip without me feeling it. One of the main reasons why I wanted to carry a backpack while traveling is because my shoulder can’t handle heavy bags. Carrying a backpack means I also have my arms free to take photos and eat lots of yummy good. I’m looking forward to taking it with me on my South American trip at the end of this year as well.
I hope you enjoyed What’s In My Bag: Travel Edition and let me know what do you carry with you while travelling?
The lovely people from Hedgren has gifted me the backpack for my overseas travel. This has not influenced my opinion because their stuff is awesome!!
