General Travel Essentials

Non-negotiable travel gear for any adventure.

Travel Adapter

Best travel adapter I’ve owned! Bought it in Dubai and it’s lasted years!

I also have a multi-port block that I constantly travel with.

Otter Box

I’ve cracked phone after phone. This is the only case that works!

They are sturdy, thick, and could probably survive a nuclear blast…

First Aid Kit

A non-negotiable for any traveler! Stay safe out there, adventurers.

This is the kit that I use to replenish all of my hiking backpacks.

Solar Portable Charger

Would recommend for more remote adventures.

You can either do it as a block or with some foldable solar panels.

Adventure Photography & Videography

Best gear to capture your adventures!

Canon EOS M50

Most of my photos on this website is from this camera! It’s a great option that won’t break the bank!

Insta360

Game changer, especially when adventuring solo. I’ve gotten some epic mermaid shots!

GoPro

One of the best adventure cameras out there. It’s durable, powerful, and great for beginners.

Hoverair

Perfect for adventurers who want drone footage, but don’t want a complex and expensive drone.

DJI Ronin SC

A cheap and lightweight gimbal that gives those smooth shots on cameras without stabilization.

Hiking CLip

This lets you mount your camera on a strap of a hiking backpack, which is more comfortable!

SD Card

As an adventurer, you need something small and powerful to capture and store memories.

DJI Mini Drone

Pretty much the gold standard for small controlled drones for beginners.

RV Essentials

Every product that I have found helpful as a full-time RVer!

RV Trip Wizard

Easily one of the BEST finds – a total game changer for RVing! My favorite features are the campground lookup and roadtrip maps.

Heater

On the opposite end, I have lived in an RV with 6 feet of snow outside. Here is my favorite heater for both the inside and underneath on a rubber mat.

Fan/AC

I love roasting in my giant tin can during summer! This was a game changer during the summer when our AC units just couldn’t keep up.

Lube Plate

If you don’t already have one, this is an RV non-negotiable. It helps safeguard against friction and helps with the longevity of fifth-wheels.

Breakaway Cable

Our breakaway cable came undone soon after buying our RV. We replaced it with this one and haven’t had an issue since.

Temperature Reader

This is very helpful to see conditions outside and inside the RV. Great for seeing if humidity and temp is too high.

Heated Hose

If you are planning on RVing in the winter, a heated hose is essential. Unless you want to freeze everything and ruin your RV. Your choice…

Dehumidifier

RVs are prone to mold…so a dehumidifier might be needed. It is also better for the lifespan of your RV not to have water everywhere.

Adventure Yoga Props and Gear

Best yoga goodies recommended by a yoga teacher!

Yoga Mat

I own two while traveling – one expensive durable one, and one that I can get dirty on a budget.

Bolster

I’m obsessed with mine! It is a game changer for restorative yoga or for yogis looking for more support.

Blocks

If you prefer to practice with blocks, here are the ones that I own and use during my practice.

Mat Cleaner

I do adventure yoga everywhere. Therefore, my mat is dirty – all the time. Keep that mat clean!

Hiking Non-Negotiables

I am a hiking snob! Here are the hiking holy-grails!

Hiking Boots

Seriously THE BEST boots I’ve ever owned. They have been on some serious hikes and have lasted me years!

Backpack

Will not hike without this trusty camelback. I love the low bladder weight distribution and all the space.

Poles

Great to take pressure off of knees or if there is rocky terrain. It’s saved my booty many times….

HeadLamp

I prefer to start hiking in the dark to avoid crowds and high temperatures. Headlamps are an essential for safety.

Adventuring with Pets

I travel full-time in an RV with one dog and two cats. Here are things that helped my furry friends come on adventurers!

Outdoor Cat Tunnel

No joke – I get asked about this at every campsite I go to! Plus, the cats LIVE for this thing.

Travel Backpack

I’ve tried them all cause I moved abroad with my kitty! Therefore, I am a cat backpack snob.

harness

My kitties are adventure kitties that live to be outside. Again, I’ve tried them all. Ironically, this one won!

Window Bed

We put two in the RV and one in the car. They are used all the time by our kitties to sleep and look out the window on long drives.

Adventure Mindset and Wellness Books

Mental health matters…even with avid adventurers! If you are feeling stuck, here are the books that transformed my life!

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**K

If you are okay with swearing, this is one of the best books I’ve ever read!

The Feeling Good Handbook

It’s a little dry…but it changed my life! It has really helped me stop overthinking everything.

You Are a BadA*s

One of the best books if you are into learning about the Law of Attraction and manifestation. Again, be okay with swearing…

the obstacle is the way

Great inspiration for achieving your dreams in unfavorable circumstances.
