My favorite things

USA Shops, some provide EU and UK alternatives: 
I always carry one of these otterboxes. I love to kayak, canoe, swim and explore around water. It protects the phone, IDs and money from getting wet while playing outside. https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/otterbox/drybox-3250-series/otr10-drybox-3250.html#productPhoto

If you plan to hike, bike, or explore an area away from civilization pack a light little lifestraw to keep you from getting stuck without water. https://www.lifestraw.com/products/lifestraw

If fire, or water this document protector will keep your papers safe. It’s not the cutest, but it works. https://flamefortress.com/

A first aid kit is important for all travel. It’s more than bandaids and headache medicine. It’s important to have a well packed kit and this one comes that way. I’ve had this kit since 2012. I repack it every two years to make sure everything is still active. https://first-aid-product.com/first-aid-kits-cabinets/consumer/travel-first-aid-kits/adventure-medical-world-travel-emeregency-first-aid-kit.html

This water bottle does more than just give you a drink. It will filter your water while you’re out and about. In some places it’s a good idea to have. https://www.berkeyfilters.com/products/sport-berkey

When you’re in a new town, or exploring a mountain blisters are bound to show up. These are perfect to keep your feet protected so you can keep going. https://first-aid-product.com/footcare-adventure-medical-glacier-gel-blister-burn-dressings.html

Dry bags are great for packing clothes into a backpack for a quick hike, or an overnight stay. https://www.seallinegear.com/ie/dry-bags/baja-dry-bag/baja-dry-bag.html

When traveling hair is sometimes on the bottom of the list of priorities. I have been using this hair turbine for years. I like it because it’s easier than a scarf and rolls up tiny.

Also, the same company has lovely hair ties I can’t get enough of.

I find it very easy to keep hair tidy during travel by using good shampoo.

I love this one: https://www.lookfantastic.com/philip-b-peppermint-avocado-shampoo-220ml/10548002.html

When traveling something small can make a hotel room, or rental apartment feel more like home. I love how a candle can make every room smell like I’m home.
