I used this bag to travel to four countries in the Middle East and overall, it worked out very well.  I could put my passport in the very front zipper pocket by itself for quick, easy and safe access.  I also liked how I could walk around without having to use either one of my hands to hang on to my purse.  I found room for almost everything, including tissues, prescription medications, brush, coins and bills, hand sanitizer, pens...... However, the coffee color I chose seemed to pick up a lot of blotches/stains and that's why I didn't give it a five star rating.  If I were to order it again, I would select the black colored bag.
