his is a new issue for me because I’ve always brought a 2-wheel suitcase on previous trips, so my personal item could be a very lightweight backpack. This time I’m taking a Cotopaxi 35L backpack as my carry on luggage. Originally I thought I’d just drape my stowaway backpack across my shoulder, but it won’t stay there and keeps falling off.
I need to find the right personal item to fit this criteria if I’m going to bring it:
- It is worn as a crossbody or sling across my shoulder. I don’t want to carry it in my hand or perched on my shoulder. It can’t be a backpack (Cotopaxi is on my back).
- It has a zipper to keep everything contained.
- It’s very lightweight.
- I could slip my Baggalini purse inside it on the planes & during public transit.
A crossbody bag offers enough space to carry all your essentials, such as your phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and even a small bottle of water. Moreover, many crossbody bags have several pockets and compartments, so you can keep your stuff organised and quickly find what you need
