It’s the time of year when everyone’s thinking about vacations. Students are gearing up for a summer abroad, and others are making plans to use time off work in a far away land. Many of us Handbag Heaven gals have spent time abroad, while in college or with our families, so we compiled a list of overseas handbag essentials. The Sigma Pocket Satchel is our pick for overseas travel because it literally has a pocket for everything. It also features a long strap so you can wear this bag across your body, leaving your hands free for important things like a crêpe, taking photos of the seaside, or searching a map for your next sightseeing adventure.
Here’s the rundown of some essentials for traveling internationally:
- Camera + camera case, extra battery, and memory card
- Passport + tickets, itinerary, etc.
- Prescriptions
- Gum
- Chapstick
- Hand sanitizer
- Travel toothbrush
- Money pouch — don’t be a victim of pick-pocketing!
- Tylenol
- Travel toilet paper — just bein’ real here, folks
- City guide
- Journal — jot down memories from your time abroad
- Face wipes
- Hair brush
- Makeup Bag
- Face powder
- Travel-sized dry shampoo — freshen your hair after a long flight or day
What else do you keep in your bag while traveling in a foreign country? We want to hear!
Also, if you have cool summer plans that involve a beach, sightseeing, or amazing food — we’d be happy to squeeze into a small bag and join you :-)
