Packing List: Lisbon

Essentials Collection

LAUNDRY LIFTED IN LISBON

Summer in Lisbon is amazing. Until you lose everything you own…well, OK… almost everything. Once you’ve distilled your worldly possessions down to fit inside of a single carry-on bag, every item that you’ve held onto has been carefully selected, chosen at the expense of carrying anything else. If you’ve been on the road long enough, each piece you take with you is a story collected from all over the globe.

For practical reasons, when you’ve made ‘having lots of things’ a low priority, it really hurts to lose the few things that you actually do have.

This June, for An Pham, ‘not having a stitch to wear’ became a literal problem.

Here she is with her gear (left) list:

Keep digging through other people’s bags: Check out the previous edition of ‘Looky Looky.’

HOW IT WORKS – To have your essentials featured, turn your bag out (careful, careful your best stuff is inside). Take out your gear. Frame it up at right angles. Then snap a pic and share it on social media with #minaal or contact us here. We’ll feature our favorite collections regularly with links to some of the great gear you’ve told us you can’t roam, work and live without.

Check back soon to see what’s getting carried.

See you on the road.
