What’s In Your Bag? The Best Pre-Packed Bag Pictures

Currently being a man I was entirely oblivious to the odd very little corner of the web devoted to girls displaying off what they carry in their handbags (a cousin to this is the displaying-off-what-I-purchased videos on YouTube). On Flickr you can obtain groups such as Whatsinmybag and Whatsinyourbag, collections consisting of thousands of this kind of photos. Not acquiring a great deal curiosity in what makeup ladies are carrying close to, I wondered if there was a little something very similar for travelers. Nicely, there is.

For the traveler, you can find: Whatsinmybag Travel and Whatsinyourbag Travel. You can even uncover video clips of the similar thing. (I swear, I didn’t even know this was a “thing” when I took images of my personal pre-packed bag before my Argentina trip, Colombia journey, or Ireland journey.)

In the curiosity of traveler envy, I made the decision to select out some of my favored pre-packed bag photos, and to try out to peg what form of traveler just about every bag belongs to.

The Intellectual

Discover the Nabokov book he’s carrying along. Obviously, this man is the traveler who thinks, “I’m going to use this trip to last but not least read ____.” I assume we’ve all accomplished this. “I’ll be on the street, this will be a best chance to finally read ‘Moby Dick’ (or ‘Infinite Jest’).” Of course, we all return having gotten through about ten pages — the novel obtaining a easy spot at the bottom of our bags a week into the trip.

The Beach Bum

In his explanation this traveler explains that this was all he packed for his journey to Thailand. From the seems to be of his passport he’s Canadian, which indicates he traveled halfway across the planet carrying minor far more in the way of clothing than one particular pair of underwear, two shirts, a pair of cargo pants, and a bathing suit. I tip my hat to thee.

The Utilitarian

This picture’s notes reveals this traveler’s off to Europe for a couple of months in about a week. It also reveals that he will be traveling with his girlfriend, which need to explain for the large quantity of pairs of underwear he has stuffed into that little black bag on the ideal (3). He’s also managed to uncover space to include things like a rain jacket, a initial-support kit, and a hacky sack. Something tells me this man did actually properly in the Boy Scouts.

The Female

How would I know that this was a female’s bag (other than the fact that she’s packing a bra and bikini)? The solution: toiletries. Whilst regarded a little much less than what’s observed in the standard medication cabinet, the inform-tale indicator that the bag you’re hunting at belongs to a woman is the reality that it consists of more than simply just a ratty toothbrush, a bottle of hotel shampoo, a bottle of Tylenol. Critically, have you ever smelled the common male in a hostel? Donation boxes ought to be set up in hostel bathrooms to assist some of these guys out.

The Techie

Not to harp on this complete underwear matter, but you know you’ve run into the tech-savvy type when their electronic products (seven) outnumber their pairs of underwear AND socks mixed (five). Having said that, this guy’s gonna have the greatest pictures and video from the trip.

Now that I consider about, of the 5 pointed out in this post, I believe my bag in all probability ends up closest to this 1. So here’s to you, my electronic-gadget bearing brother. (I pack way more pairs of socks though, thank you really significantly.)
