I am so committed to helping people travel smartly, and it takes more than guide books and all the skills. You've got to have good gear. Let me take a minute to share with you my favorite bags and accessories.
I love my day bag. You know, you see it with me and all my TV shows and it's my sidekick. This is like my briefcase when I'm traveling around the United States and when I'm in New York, this is what I have with me when I'm out and about. This is what we can the Civita day bag.
This is the little bag that you carry with you when you're out and about when you leave the big bag under the bus, or in the hotel, or at the train station.
It's cleverly designed with padded shoulder straps that are adjustable. It has two side pockets ideal for your magazine, your umbrella, or a water bottle.
Wonderful pocket configuration. A little pocket on the outside for your tiny odds and ends. I use this bigger pocket here for my camera or my guide book.
And then, of course, the main compartment would be for your sweater, or your picnic ingredients, or your souvenirs as you're out and about.
It's made from a great microfiber material. It's just a soft, rugged light material and it's really huggable. I go to the park, want to take a nap, stick my sweater in here and I've got a pillow.
Now, if you like this bag, but you'd like the over the shoulder version, this is essentially the same bag, but with a shoulder strap. The Chivita shoulder bag. Sling it this way and you're out and about.
Chivita is my favorite little hill town in Italy and these are my favorite little day bags.
