Travel Tools

for a Hassle-Free trip

Dear Fellow Traveler,

Below I have assembled some essentials that help Steve and I have a hassle-free experience when we travel. I have included links for quick shopping, if you’d like.

As a Colorado Girl, I love to partner with companies and people from my home state. Imagine my surprise when I learned the maker of MY FAVORITE travel purse, Sherpani, is based in Boulder, Colorado! Even better, I bought myself the anti-theft model (big cities + obvious tourist = easy target) and discovered it is made from 100% recycled materials! They have a line for men too, so Steve doesn’t have to miss out.

Happy shopping,

Jenny

Other items that make the trip easy:

  1. Combination luggage locks on Amazon. This way I never risk leaving valuables behind in a room safe.

  2. These Vortex binoculars on Amazon have a lifetime guarantee, so it’s OK if they bump around in my backpack a bit. I want to see the birds and wildlife when I’m out in the countryside!

  3. Roosters commonly make pre-dawn announcements, and sometimes I end up sitting right in front of a speaker when I’m enjoy live music on our trips. I’ve found upgraded earplugs make life so much easier, even on airplanes. Here’s the link for my favorites.

  4. Compression Packing Cubes. These help us fit everything in a carry-on for a 10-dady itinerary. We like to roll our clothes and put them in these packing cubes, and then zip them shut to compress everything.

  5. Travel washcloths. It’s great to have washcloths on hand when traveling in Latin America, because sometimes you won’t be able to find them at your hotel. These ones are especially neat because they come compressed, and once you add water they expand to a normal washcloth size.
