What's in my carry on by Thithi Nteta

 

The hard-working, jet-setting 'Travel Girl Boss' blogger opens up about her globetrotting hand-luggage essentials

Whether it is a road trip, a staycation or requires your passport, travelling really makes you a better person

Thithi Nteta does the most. She's launched a TV channel, worked at a fashion magazine and banded together with her besties to throw brunch-style day parties. Marketing brands? Check. Agency life? Done. The corporate thing? Oh, believe. And when it was time to try her hand at entrepreneurship, she started her own successful boutique agency and secured retainers from Nike and G-Star RAW. Travel Girl Boss started as an online scrapbook for her trips and has grown into the brand it is today. A digital diary of sorts, Thithi's blog enables her to look back at her travels, relive the memories, then share her experiences with others. She says: "I do believe that whether it is a road trip, a staycation or requires your passport, travelling really makes you a better person."

Well, it must be true because after all that globetrotting, Thithi is the absolute best. And if you'd like to pack like the best, then take Thithi's advice on what to carry in your carry-on.

Change of clothing including underwear, because the one time I didn't pack this, my suitcase didn't arrive and I had to go to the Beyoncé On The Run II concert in my airport outfit.

Powerbank and a charging cable that can charge multiple devices, as I like to stay connected.

Toiletries I make sure my pricier skincare products like serums, retinol products and eye creams are always packed.

Discovery Bank Platinum card I love the perks, like access to The Lounge, by Discovery and SAA and how if you're a Discovery Bank client travelling with your family or friends, you can all go to The Lounge together.

MacBook Pro I'm a bit of a workaholic and will override my 'out of office', and just work.

A book I'm less of a 'watch-the-in-flightentertainment' girl and more of a 'letme- read-that-book-I-have-been-wanting to-read-for-weeks' type. I have two book recommendations: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo.
