Don’t Leave Home Without It: Part 1
There’s planning and packing for the occasional short, domestic flight. And then, there’s planning and packing for multiple transatlantic long hauls and future intercontinental trips throughout Africa! Nothing like being in transit for 30+ hours to make you rethink your travel gear game.
Here’s part 1 of our list of new gear that we’ve discovered and invested in.
Peak Design - Tech Pouch
There was a time when a gallon-sized zip-lock bag would have sufficed for keeping together the plethora of charging cables, portable battery packs, earphones, adapters, etc. It wasn’t organized and it didn’t lend much protection to the gear, but it sure was cheap. However, there always comes a time to graduate to something more “grown-up”.
We’re big on organization, capacity and durability, and the Peak Design Tech Pouch checks off all those boxes. The origami-style design and variety of different sized, flexible compartments makes packing all our tech travel gear so much easier!
Sondre Travel - The Voyage Pillow
If the conventional U-shaped, inflatable travel pillow feels like a hot, choking, oversized inner tube of a noose around your neck, let’s meet up some time to trade horror stories. I, for one, have never found a travel pillow that provided the necessary comfort and fit, while also being compact enough to be practical for carry-on travel. I’d long resigned myself to the embarrassing fate of the nodding-off head bob.
For those reasons, the Sondre Travel’s Voyage Pillow has been a huge game-changer for me. The microbead pillow provides the right amount of conforming support to make sleep in various head positions possible. And, because it stays in position with a stretchy poly/spandex fabric loop, there’s none of the uncomfortable “inner tube around my neck” effect.
Zero Grid TechSafe RFID Blocking Multiple Passport Holder & Wallet
While this is one item we won’t have a chance/need to use until the day we deploy, I’m sure we’ll be glad we have it. The need for capacity and security is the name of the game when it comes to traveling as a family of four, and all our related passports, cards, forms, etc. The Zero Grid Multiple Passport Holder & Wallet is one of the few products we could find that provided the size, durability and security features that we were looking for.
AmazonBasics Packing Cubes
There’s nothing new or special about these. There are a lot of brands that offer their own version of packing cubes. It doesn’t matter which ones you swear by, as long as you make sure your packing game has graduated to including packing cubes.
As a contingency to the high likelihood of lost and/or delayed bags, we’ve nearly tripled the number of packing cubes we own in order to make sure we carry-on enough clothing to last us for more than a few days once we arrive in-country.
---
We’re always open to recommendations on how to make travel easier, more comfortable, and enjoyable. TELL US! What travel gear do you swear by?

V I V E K N A N D A Rock M E M O R I A L An impressive memorial to Swami Vivekananda has been built on a rock situated some 400m offshore of Kanyakumari,the southern part of India. In fact, there are two rocks side by side projecting out of the sea. The rock is approachable only by boat which provides a pleasure cruise into the sea. They say that swami Vivekananda meditated here for two days before his famous london tour where he got recognized by everyone as the young powerful spirtual leader. According to folklores, he used to swim from the mainland to this rock against the sea waves everyday. #lonelyplanet #indiantravelsquad #sourcedadventures #livetravelchannel #zerogrid #yourshot_india #natgeotravelpic #travelstoke #letsgoeverywhere #tlpicks #mytinyatlas #traveldudes #awesomeearth #beautifuldestinations #beautifulmatters #travelingourplanet #aroundtheworldpix #theglobewanderer #fantastic_earth #indiawithnikon #bestintravel #dslrofficial #bestvacations #backpackerphotos #funlifecrisis #amazingtravelbeauty #storiesofindia (at Vivekananda Rock Memorial)

New Year's Resolution: DO MORE SOLO HIKES #outdoorjunkiez . Via @travellitoriginal Sometimes we find ourselves thinking - what is behind the urge or the desire to travel? What is that keeps us all going? Some aim to conquer the mountaintops, some endlessly get lost exploring the jungle paths and some keep searching for those hidden beaches. 🛤 . Sometimes we don’t know why, but the things we do just seem right and you do not feel as yourself if the next destination is not on the horizon and next adventure ahead.⏳ . This feeling is not you being lost, it is you finding yourself. . . . . . . . . #travelnow #lovetotravel #wanderlust #travellifelove #travelgram #ilovetravel #passportready #instapassport #travelblog #traveltheworld #getaway #travelasia #aroundtheworld #traveling #travelinspiration #postcardsfromtheworld #worldplaces #digitalnomad #backpacking #mytravelgram #instago #zerogrid #passionpassport #exploretocreate #discoverearth #travelustcouples #travelawesome #lifeofadventure #worldtravelbook (at The Great Outdoors)
