Essentials

What’s in my bag?

As a full-time traveler, I pack light, so each item in my bag counts. Here’s a few items I’d never travel without.

Kindle

If you’re an avid reader and traveler this is a no-brainer. If you’re from the US, check out Libby so you can rent library books to your kindle!

Portable Charger

Essential for long travel days, overnight buses and camping trips. This one kept two phones charged over a 5 day festival!

Wireless Headphones

The problem with most noise-canceling headphones is that they’re bulky. This small pair from Google is perfect for traveling light.

Microfiber Towel

These pack up really small and come in super handy – whether it’s a day at the day at the beach or staying somewhere without any towels.

Content

Creator Tools

Content creator tools that I use every day to create my short-form video content.

Action Camera

I’ve always been a GoPro girl, but I’m mixing it up and testing out the new DJI Osmo as my Action on-the-go camera.

Smartphone Stabilizer

If you’re on your own, this is a must! You can set it up to track you which gives your videos so much more creativity.

Wireless Microphone

Getting a microphone for my videos was one of the simplest things I did to upgrade my content.

External Storage

An essential for someone who takes as many photos and videos as me. It’s water resistant and extremely portable.
