We made it to Thailand!  I obviously shot these photos before leaving, but this backpack has been my best friend while traveling.  I opted to bring it instead of a big tote like I usually carry when traveling.  The backpack is the way to go!  This Herschel Supply Co. backpack is the perfect size.  It’s not huge, which I like because I can’t overload it with stuff making it too heavy.  But with that said, I still fit my laptop, planner, big camera, makeup bag, wallet, phone, passport and a few other small necessities so it’s definitely roomy!

I love the simplicity of the black bag with the gold zippers, but Herschel Supply Co. makes tons of different colors, sizes, and styles of backpacks.  And the price point is pretty amazing too!

And lastly, I have to give a shoutout to my sister who insisted on carrying a backpack as a purse a few years ago, and I of course said that was ridiculous.  Hindsight is 20/20 right?!  Late to the game, but definitely jumping on the bandwagon!

I’ll be posting the rest of the week “live” from Thailand so stay tuned!  I can’t wait to share our travels thus far with you!  I’ve been updating snapchat pretty frequently so be sure to follow along there too! username: cobaltchronicle
