I’ve been to all seven continents, jumped in the Antarctic Ocean, space trained in France, moseyed down the Great Wall of China, bungee jumped in Australia, and landed on a glacier in New Zealand. Basically, you name it, I’ve done it. And these days, there are essential things I need to do “it” (travel, that is) to streamline the experience. Take a look at what I’ll never leave home without for an international trip.

This tote looks chic and literally fits everything that you can cram in last minute — essential if you refuse to pack a checked bag, as I do.
