Pinay Traveller Recommends #4
1. Fond of painting or drawing when travelling? Why not join Urban Sketchers— a community of visual artists from more than 30 countries all over the world whose main goal is to facilitate the sharing of location drawings and exchange of comments and ideas among its members.

After visiting a number of online stores, I have come up with several candidates for my Ultimate Travel Tote. Topping my list are two totes from British designer Stella McCartney for American brand Le Sportsac. Following the footsteps of her predecessors Diane von Furstenberg, Jonathan Adler, tokidoki and Gwen Stefani, Stella has teamed up with the handbag giant to produce affordable handbags that do not sacrifice style for functionality.
