Bose QuietComfort 45 Recommends
The wireless Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones are fan favorites and my go-to brand. They are comfortable, rechargeable, and do an amazing job at removing background noise.

GoPro Recommends
If you want something better than your phone but still easy to use, get a GoPro. They're durable and take incredible photos and videos without a steep learning curve.

Kindle Mixed on
Personally, I prefer physical books when I travel. However, I can't argue against the convenience and simplicity of the Kindle.

Away Recommends
Away is my go-to brand for durable, quality luggage. Their hard shell carry-on suitcases are lightweight and fit perfectly into overheard bins, ensuring you have plenty of room for all your gear while still letting you travel carry-on only.

My favorite bag is the Flash 55 from REI (I actually prefer the slightly smaller Flash 45, but it's been discontinued).

LifeStraw Recommends
LifeStraw is an awesome brand that sells bottles with built in water filters. The filters last 5 years so you save money on changing them too.

Moleskine Notebook Uses
I never leave home without one of these. Not only do I use them for work (I'm constantly taking notes and writing down ideas) but I also use them to keep track of my travels so I have something to look back on.

That’s why I love the Trtl Pillow. It’s one of the only travel pillows that offers unparalleled neck support.
