ok, so i know i'm giving you an up close and personal view of a wallet, BUT i just bought this wonderful hobo wallet (i just LOVE hobo, such a great product) and am so freakin' stoked about it!
now it may sound silly, but i actually bought it to take with me to mali. i know, kinda frivolous, but it's part birthday present, part fun, part practical. i thought all the sections and the zipper area would work to hold american dollars and malian currency without much hassle. plus i don't need all the card holders of an american wallet (i just don't think i'll need a banana republic credit card, or that tropical smoothie gift card...those will stay safely in the us, in my old hobo) plus, a very wise friend of mine recommended that i take something glamorous with me. she knows me too well and thought that since i'm such a girly girl and will miss the nail polish and makeup of the west, i should bring something that would remind me of all that. i think this wallet may do the trick, hopefully without attracting too much attention. who knows, maybe it will stay in my suitcase and i'll use some sort of money belt, but for the time being, i think it's a total keeper.
what do you think? what frivolous thing do you pack on your adventures?
