I’m taking a long roadtrip via bus from DC to NYC to SYR. It’s a mixture of business and pleasure. Since I’m learning to be more minimal, I thought I’d show you what’s in my bag. I’m only packing a backpack and a purse.

In my backpack:

1. Medium travel cube– it was part of a set of 3 in different sizes. It’s my favorite travel accessory. In there, I have a pair of pants and leggings, 4 tops, pjs, 4 days worth of underwear, and a pair of black booties. They all fit!

2. My glass water bottle– I can use water fountains to fill up

3. Book– reading up for Style Lottery

4. Umbrella

5. Small travel cube– full of snacks

6. Makeup bag

7. Toiletries

In my purse:

1. Organizer– for business meetings

2. Cash envelope– I do the cash envelope system. I designate a specific amount of money to different categories (food, fun, apparel, etc.) When the cash is finished, I can’t spend on that category anymore.

3. Wristlet wallet

4. Idea journal

I love traveling lighter. It makes life so much easier. This is my travel backpack. It’s a Hershel dupe but a lot of people mistake it for the real thing! I got it a few months ago and I have used it for all my trips. Great accessory to have.
