Perhaps I was inspired and amazed with the convenience that a small body bag can offer during travels. C has one and it’s been everywhere: Pampanga, Cebu, Baguio, Manila. On the other hand, I’m the more switchy-bags person, and I have this crazy habit of dumping in a lot of useless stuff in my bag that can make my load heavier and give me aching shoulders, even just an afternoon in the mall or going to a cafĂ©. One time during the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark, I dumped my mirrorless camera and other stuff in a hot pink tote bag like I would on a day in the beach. It looked cute, yes, but it was far from practical LOL.
But that
changed with the Travelon bag that we got me from Travel Club.

| Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Light Slim Bag in Lush Blue |
It’s slim and
compact and it carries my essentials very well. It also has packed anti-theft
features. I told myself that I’d use it on travel and the road trip to Pagadian
was the right chance to use it.

| Second Compartment with Spare Zipper Attached |
What's To Love?
The material
is smooth and sits very comfortably in a bus window seat, even on my lap when
back riding on a motorbike. The secret pockets inside can carry a lot of
knick-knacks, even a long wallet and relevant pockets for a passport and cash.
It has roomy
compartments, two for regular stuff, one in the front for small things like lip
balm, OTG USB and the slip on pocket at the back is for headphones. Even the
main compartment is large enough to hold a tablet and can even stay secure
because of a zip wall pocket. The front compartment has an interior organizer
and many slots for cards and other important documents. In short, it really
just has a lot of pockets.
I also love
that I can carry the Sony point and shoot for documenting travel memories with
C on the road, even special occasions like friends’ weddings and just precious
moments.
It’s made of
anti-slash material but it’s smooth to the touch and even has RFID blocking
technology. For peace of mind, the
zippers lock to shoo away those pickpockets during your travels. Who knows what
can happen during rush hours in public transport or even in crowded, public
places.

| Front Pocket features RFID Protection Feature |
RFID Protection
The front
pocket integrates an RFID blocking technology that’s similar to other travel
wallets to help prevent skimming of information from credit cards and even
electronic passports. If your credit cards, passports and even driver’s
licenses come with radio frequency identification chips that can transmit data
wirelessly, this can help insulate RFID skimming. You don’t want hackers
obtaining whole credit card information from you now, do you?

| Ready to head out with my Travelon Slim Bag |
Versatile Style
On top of it
all, I like that it’s a versatile style. I’m fond of shoulder bags so I just
swing it over my shoulder and I head on out, now that’s for my feminine
preferences. But during travel, I follow as the boys do and wear it cross-body
for hands-free movement especially during long road trips.
And the best
part? No more aching shoulders!
Travelon has
made it possible to explore easier and safer, and with sleek bags for
essentials in new places. The Classic Light Slim Bag retails for Php 2,390.00 in
Travel Club.
