Struggling to find ideas? Want to do something different? This large and comprehensive travel book is filled with ideas. Just when I thought I was losing a bit of inspiration, I found this book on the shelves of a store in Malaysia. After flipping through its pages, I regained my inspiration! -
Although the fascinating country of Myanmar is deserving of more than seven days, this travel book gives readers a glimpse into the life and landscape of Myanmar (formerly Burma). A trip to this country is like a trip back in time. -
No one wants to drag a book (or books) around during his or her life-changing round-the-world trip or romantic getaway. I purchased books, and swapped books, and saved books during my travels, until I realized that digital was the way to go for me – someone who is constantly on the go. Countless books are available for purchase online (for great prices) that are compatible with Kindle. -
In July, 2015 I did something I never thought I would do: I attended San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain. It was everything that I dreamed of – and more. I’m a bit partial to this informational book regarding this traditional event because my new friend wrote it. I met Peter and other life-changing, inspirational people at San Fermin and I’m forever grateful for this experience (and new tradition). -
While I was intensely traveling through Southeast Asia, my friend Trisha recommended Eat Pray Love. Looking for a new book to read, I purchased a copy while in Indonesia. It was so good, and I related to it so well, that I finished it during one leisurely day on the beach. This book is a must for any woman in search of “more.” -
I don’t always travel with jewelry – I spent five months in Southeast Asia without one accessory. Sometimes, jewelry is essential to travel with, but I found jewelry hard to organize. This folding jewelry case has multiple compartments to keep jewelry separated and organized, which means far less necklaces getting tangled together (score!). -
Seriously, how the hell do you think I take most of my solo travel pictures? Don’t hate on the selfie stick – embrace it (especially if you’re a solo traveler). I love this gadget because it changes from a tripod (invaluable for stability) to an arm stick (which is great for diving) and extends into a selfie stick. -
This travel book by National Geographic features 500 life-changing trips. From daring to dreamy to dodgy – this book has something for every traveler in search of inspiration for his or her journey. -
It’s not comfortable or sometimes practical to walk around with a large photography backpack and a lot of heavy gear. Lowepro’s top-loading camera bag is perfect for a day out and about town. Its perfect shape makes it easy to take out your camera and go, since you don’t have to remove the camera’s lens. -
Having a secure way to transport an expensive camera is pertinent. You’ve spent a lot of money investing in this new hobby, so its best to have a padded pack when traveling. Lowepro’s Transit backpack is great because of its organization abilities, soft padding, and discreet pocket. Its size is perfect for a photographer traveling with three lenses or less. -
I prefer using a dry case to a dry bag because I’ve had my belongings destroyed in an expensive dry bag. Essential items can fit in the Pelican case, and keep them dry while at the pool, or beach, or while boating. Don’t worry if your pelican case falls in the water – it floats so it’s easier to find. -
Although I find it near impossible to sleep while in transit, I still like to be comfortable. This Samsonite inflatable pillow is the best because it can be deflated into a small size and packed away anywhere. Having a pillow take up valuable space in my luggage is not OK.
