December 5, 2014 By Rebecca Leave a Comment

Are you stumped over what gift to buy the travel-lover in your life? Check out my list of 17 great gift ideas to help inspire you!

For more information on a product, simply click on the image to be re-directed to the web-store.

1. Packing cubes ($27)

Keep organized while traveling with these handy and light-weight suitcase organizers. These are perfect for anyone who, like me, start a trip with an organized bag but find it in total chaos by the time you arrive at your destination.

2. Universal travel adapter ($15)

Never be caught traveling with the wrong travel adapter again.  This all-in-one piece covers more than 150 countries with US/EU/AU/UK plugs and can also charge mobile devices with the USB attachment. Note: Before purchasing this item, ensure that it has the right in-put socket for your home country.


3. External hard drive ($87)

Backing up your travel photos and videos is crucial when traveling – nothing would be worse than arriving back from your travels to find you’ve lost your treasured memories. Fortunately, external storage devices have both decreased in price and in size over recent years.

4. GoPro (prices start at $129)

This is the ultimate versatile camera for travelers and adventure seekers. With the addition GoPro accessories, you can take this camera on sky-dives through to scuba dives and everything in between. Furthermore, GoPro offers cameras suitable for both the starter and expert videographer.

5. GoPro storage case ($30)

Keep organized by storing your GoPro bits and pieces in this stylish storage case.

6. Scrubba washbag ($55)

This “pocket sized washing machine” helps keep your clothes clean wherever you go and claims to be twice as effective as hand-washing. Inside this easy-to-pack, lightweight bag is a flexible washboard.

7. Kindle (prices start at $79)

Carry your library wherever you go with a Kindle.  Newer models have built in 4G allowing you purchase and download books within seconds from wherever you are in the world. Spend a little extra to get a model with back-lighting and say goodbye to your reading lamp or flashlight.

8. Portable device charger ($26)

Never get caught without charge on your phone or tablet again. These chargers are especially useful when traveling long journeys or when you plan to use your device intensely to take photos or live-tweet from events.

9. Scratch Map ($20)

This is a fun way to keep track of the countries you’ve visited by scratching each off on this fun wall-map.

10. Aquabells Dumbbell & Ankle Set ($56)

Travelers looking to keep in shape while on the road should check out these inflatable dumbbells and ankle weights.  These travel weights have cushioned hand-grips and eight attachable water chambers each holding up to 4 pounds of water, up to 16 pounds per dumbbell.  When you’re ready to move, simply drain the water and pack in your case!

11. Mobile Foodie Organic Survival Kit ($28)

This is the ideal gift for travelers who like to cook for themselves while on the road.  Each spice is secured in a moisture and humidity-resistant, BPA-free pot to ensure freshness.

12. Grid-it Organizer ($7)

Keep your bits and bobs organized in this rubberized woven elastic organization system. It’s the ideal way to store your chargers, notepads, pens, wallets and more.
13. SHOLDIT Basic Clutch Wrap Purse ($40)

These stylish scarves double as a discreet place to store your keys, money, passport, cell phone or personal items.

14. Hanging Toiletry bag ($11)

Keep your toiletries, jewelry or makeup organized with this hanging organizer.

15. Adventure medical kit ($38)

Be prepared for all eventualities with this light-weight medical kit designed for weekend camping and week-long treks.

16. Luggage scale ($12)

Never worry about paying an overweight baggage fee again with a digital luggage scale. This model also doubles as a portable travel thermometer.

17. Travel stubs diary ($12)

Preserve your keepsakes, from ticket stubs to postcards and maps, with this travel stub diary. Acid-free pages will keep travel memories in tip-top shape for years to come.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Rebecca!
For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of adventure and rebelled against the idea that life should follow some sort of pre-determined path. That's why, at the age of 18, I moved half-way around the world from Canada to the UK in search of new experiences. Since then, I’ve lived in three countries and travelled to nearly 20. My goal is to experience as much of the world as I can and to lead a location independent lifestyle. This blog will document my journey and, hopefully, inspire you to achieve your own goals.
