Editor's Notes

November 13, 2018:

Traveling abroad or simply within a highly populated city can present plenty of opportunities for thieves, so we endeavored to select an assortment of daypacks, compact bags, and a few spacious options to suit every type of consumer. Included the Pacsafe and Travelon brands as they are top in the category, and added the Pincnel Rucksack for those who only require moderate protection.

After arriving in Los Angeles a decade ago, she quickly nabbed a copywriting job at a major clothing company and derived years of editing and proofreading experience from her tenure there, all while sharpening her skills further with myriad freelance projects. In her spare time, she teaches herself French and Italian, has earned an ESL teaching certificate, traveled extensively throughout Europe and the United States, and unashamedly devours television shows and books. The result of these pursuits is expertise in fashion, travel, beauty, literature, textbooks, and pop culture, in addition to whatever obsession consumes her next.
