I love to read and usually read everyday but I have run into the problem of carrying books while traveling, the Amazon Kindle has solved that problem. Depending on the book, I can read it in a few days to a week but it is impossible to carry multiple books in my backpack while traveling. [...]

Travalo With Genie S Refill Review
We were recently sent a Travalo for review. Travalo is a refillable perfume sprayer that is TSA approved for carry-on luggage. I was really excited to try this out because of the “spill-free internal refill system” that “doesn’t use funnels or other parts.” However, I was curious to see if it would be that simple. [...]
Lush Solid Shampoos and Conditioner

Review: Eagle Creek Packing Cubes
Eagle Creek Packing Cubes are the single, best thing I have ever bought when it comes to travel. Right before I left to visit Joe in England the first time, my mom and I discovered a set of three packing cubes at REI. The set came with a large, medium and small packing cube for [...]

My very first backpack I started travelling with was a cheap backpack I bought off Ebay for less than $50. After only a few trips around Europe it started tearing and straps started breaking. I upgraded to a new backpack that my girlfriend bought from a sporting goods store and travelled around quite a few more countries in Europe with that pack. It was good enough but nothing special. Once I made it into the low teens of countries I’ve visited, I knew it was time to get a real backpack if I thought I was a real backpacker. The Osprey Atmos 65 was that backpack.
