Recently, I decided to upgrade my travel gear with some new hard case luggage, and after much research, I settled on what I now consider the best luggage set for my needs: the Level8 Road Runner Carry On and the Level8 Luminous Textured Check-In suitcase. In this review, I’ll share my experience with Level8. From […]
For digital nomads and many modern travelers, fast reliable internet is a must, and can be stressful to find in a hotel or airbnb. Countless times I’ve scoured airbnb and hotel reviews about wifi to see if I truly can feel confident it won’t be a problem during my stay (and many times it has!).
I studied fashion design, then proceeded to work in the seemingly glamorous business in New York for 5+ years. I hated it. Mostly because the industry is structured to cut corners and value the bottom line above all else. This almost always hurts those who work in their factories the most, not to mention the
If you travel a lot, you know the importance of getting rest when you can on those long haul flights, trains or buses. A restful journey means more time and energy to hit the ground running and enjoy your destination. I’ve been recently trying out one of the best neck pillows for travel – you
Finding the perfect travel luggage has felt like a never ending search for me. But it’s become clear that I prefer and find a quality backpack so much more convenient than rolling options. I recently came across Banana Backpacks, and loved the company’s social mission. So I tried out my new 60 liter backpack on
This post is for the ladies (men now is your chance to click away!) Let’s talk about periods while traveling – annoying, expensive, and inconvenient are words that come to mind. But a couple years ago I discovered something that has made my periods so much easier – the reusable menstrual cup for travel. It
It’s not every day I find a company that has some of the most beautiful, unique clothing around AND a strong moral compass & mission. MATTER is just that – their mission is to connect designers with artisans, in order to preserve and promote artisan prints and traditions in a sustainable way. They’re also passionate
For 3 years all I had was one suitcase and about a week and a half of outfits. I loved the minimalist packing lifestyle, and was a bit worried once I settled down that I might start amassing a bunch of things I don’t need now that I have some closet space. I’m happy to
After 3 years of full-time travel, I’m tired of items that are only functional. Boring plain black bags and dresses don’t hold any appeal for me. I’ve realized that over the last 4 months, I’ve suddenly filled my closet with super colorful tropical floral skirts, printed scarves, and now – my sunny yellow Shagbagg tote.
When you choose an alternative lifestyle with no road map, how do you know when to make changes and where those changes should lead you? I’ve been debating sharing about this for a couple of months now. It’s honestly pretty terrifying because it’s super personal. But I’ve always felt it’s important to be honest and
Over the last 3 years (2 of which have been full-time travel) I have flown 31 one-way flights (it’s hard for me to speak in terms of round trips because I almost never book a round trip flight) all of which have been free flights or very affordable flights. 28 of which were free flights
When you travel 100% of the time for over 3 years, you learn some things about what things you REALLY need and what things you don’t. I’ve made lots of tweaks and changes to my location independent travel packing list over the last couple of years, including some major ones at the end of last
