What I packed: 8 day business trip to San Francisco

Minimalist packing list

Travel Gear

DAY BAG

My day bag is the Joshuvela Baja Backpack (use coupon code "THANKS10" to get $10 off) to carry all my gear. It's sturdy as hell, looks great, and is produced ethically in San Francisco. My favorite feature is that it can be carried as a tote bag to look dressy for client meetings, or slung over my shoulders for ergonomic walking without making me look like a college student.

TRAVEL POUCHES

My travel bags are from the Spacepak System:

Flight 001: clothes, toiletries, liquids/makeup
Amazon (exact styles not available): clothes in dots or stripes, toiletries, undies, makeup

CAMERA BAG AND BACKPACK

My camera bag is the Everyday Sling 5L and my backpack is the Everyday Backpack 30L, both from Peak Design. I did tons of research before purchasing because I intend this to be my one and forever bag. I’ve only traveled with it once but so far I’m thrilled.

It was a great trip! I was a bit chilly at times with the San Francisco fog. I think I should have packed a sweater and skipped the white flats, but otherwise I’m pleased I survived 8 days with so little!
