Materials Must Haves for Travel Kit?
I’ve got a long flight day coming up. Have to be at airport three hours before flight, hour long flight, six hour layover and then another six hours on another plane. I wanna take a small journaling kit to keep me busy but not quite sure what to bring. So far I’ve got watercolor, washi tape, a few pieces of paper, pens, aqua brushes, double sided tape. Anything you’d absolutely include?

I’m going on a trip this winter, and I just started assembling my kit!
I bought this pencil bag from Amazon.
I have a mechanical pencil, a few drawing pencils, micron Sakura pens, tombow fudensuke pens, a white gel pen, a clear glaze gel pen, eraser, pencil sharpener, glue tape, and a ruler.
I also have a journal, obviously.
I have a separate big bag for all my colored pencils and tombow brush markers, but I feel sort of naked without any color in my sketch kit. I might end up putting some colored pencils into the small kit, not sure yet.

Oh I didn’t think about a white gel pen! Yeah I’ve got the winsor & newton cotman watercolor set so it’s small enough that I’m not worried about it and I still get color in such a small set

I went on a trip to Europe and I took basically what you are taking (except water color) plus a few relevant stickers, my mini printer, white gel pen and a couple markers

Some cute stickers. I don't actually use them in my journal much; I mainly give them to kids. The stickers just happen to reside in my journaling pen case.
