Travel Essentials

I dislike packing as it means having to pick and choose the items you NEED to take with you and not WANT. Anywhere I go I have a tendency to bring along my whole life so choosing what my essentials would be for my India trip was tricky to say the least. I narrowed my ‘essentials’ down to 13 items, most of these items did not leave my side for the entire trip / journey.

1. My oversized - and overwork - Zara black scarf 
2. Reiss coral purse - purely because I love it
3. Black Whistles wallet - perfect size for my tickets and passport
4. Nixon Divy watch - because it never leaves my wrist
5. Apple iPad - my pride and joy
6. Headphones - no explanation required 
7. Paperchase notepad & pen - ‘my efforts to document my journey’
8. Reading books - to help with the 5 hour stop offs in Tashkent 
9. Nars duo concealer custard/ ginger - because I’m a girl 
10. Blistex lip cream - to aid my sore lips!
11. Clinique moisture surge - airplane saviour 
12. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Corail Incandescent - summer in a tube 
13. Sony NEX-3N camera - duhhh!
