When I travel, between backpacks and
diaperbags, it can sometimes be difficult to find passports through the myriad of checkpoints it takes to get on the
plane or boat, as the case may be. I’ve recently started keeping all necessary passports and travel documents in
a small pouch slung across my shoulder and chest, so that I can pull them out at a moment’s notice — usually it’s
small enough that it falls under the "only two-carry own bags" requirement, and if necessary, I can shove it
into another bag to reduce the count.
Being a "Fair Trade" fan (i.e., a fan of businesses that
give back to the communities which supply their products), I was really pleased to find this hemp passport holder from Global Exchange. Available
in natural, black and sage, the holder is compact, yet has room for your passport and many other travel
essentials. Made from hemp, it’s also sustainable.
This passport holder is US$18, and
international shipping is available.
