A Great Travel Purse for Men and Women

The Victorinox Lingo Lifestyle Connector is a mini sling backpack that I used during our trip to Guatemala. It worked great for keeping valuables close. You can see it on my hip in the above picture where I'm buying small dolls for my nieces back in the states. In busy markets, I wore the pack more on my front and held onto it to discourage pickpockets. The strap adjusts so you can fit the bag right where you want it.

The bag is being closed out, but you can still find it for sale on the internet. In the picture below, you can see everything I was able keep in the bag. A camera, extra batteries, video camera, money purse, ID/credit card holder, hand sanitizer, lip balm, advil, bandaids, small notebook and pen, trail mix, rain poncho, lens cleaner and cloth, sunglasses, nail clipper, tweezers, comb, and toilet paper. The bag has several pockets to help keep everything organized and make it easier to find what you are looking for.

Since I've returned home, I like to use it when I'm riding my scooter. It fits comfortably in front of me, and I don't have to store my camera or wallet under the seat anymore. I also used it while hiking on a recent camping trip. Do you have a small bag/pack that you like to use when traveling?
