THE ULTIMATE TRAVEL LIST
Must Have Products

Making a travel list is always exciting, but there is a lot that goes into planning the perfect journey! This might be your hundredth trip or your first and either way it is always useful to learn about travel products that stand above the rest!

I wanted to list all of my favorites here in this travel list to help you find what I believe to be some of the best options and save you time!

Travel Pillow: Ultralight Cocoon

Sleeping on long flights is arguably one of the most uncomfortable experiences while traveling - but this travel pillow changed my life years ago. I first used it on my trip from Los Angeles to Kenya and there was no going back after! You can use it against a window, standing up on your seat tray, or positioned in-between your shoulder and neck. I've had the same one for 5 years and it's still working great!
  • Offers amazing comfort and support for any length of flight.
  • Features an inflatable air core - which allows you to determine the density.
  • Minimum packing size! It even fits in my small travel purse.

I do not travel without this. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Mirrorless Digital Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II (Silver)

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II is a sophisticated camera that is perfect for the aspiring photographer just snapping  shots or a photo enthusiast looking to maximize your creativity.  
6 months ago I started to research DSLR vs. Mirrorless Cameras - because I wanted to add a new toy to my travels. After reading every comparison article on best travel cameras, professional photographers videos breaking down best cameras, and a lot of indecision on what to purchase - I decided to go with the E-M10 Mark II and I couldn't be happier!

​It's delivers with a compact profile, intuitively placed controls, and an advanced 5-axis image stabilization system that ensures perfection with every shot!
​
  • 5-Axis image stabilizer is built in for sharper images
  • Burst shooting with 8.5 frames per second
  • Electronic viewfinder with 2.3 million dot OLED and 0.62X magnification
  • Fast touch auto focus from camera or phone app
  • Built in flash which optimizes the autofocus function

Zoom Lens: Olympus M. 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R (Black)

It's small, lightweight and flexible enough for everything from close-up portraits to long-distance scenes both indoors and outdoors. This high-power zoom is the perfect companion to your standard kit lens, and gets you closer to the action without being burdened by travelling with too much equipment.
​
  • 40-150mm Focal Length (​35mm equivalent focal length: 80-300 mm)
  • Maximum Image Magnification .16x
  • 30-8.2 Angle of View
  • F4-5.6 Maximum Aperture

Camera Case: Protective Leather Camera Case, for Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II (Dark Brown)

I love the vintage look that the OM-D E-M10 Mark II camera offers and this camera case matches that look exactly! It also keeps your camera safe from dust and the occasional drop. Its interior is lined with a really soft fabric, which will ensure that the lens won't get scratched or damaged.

One of my favorite things about this case is the if you see a photo opportunity, while your camera is stored in the case, all you'll have to do is pull open the specially designed flap, and you will be able to easily take the photo. You won't even have to take it out of the protective case in order to put it onto a tripod!
​
  • High quality, compact, lightweight and extremely durable material
  • The soft layer inside protects LCD screen from getting scratches
  • Can be installed to a tripod and works well with all camera straps

Camera Neck Strap: High-Quality Pure Cotton Webbing & Top Leather Cowhide

This strap is a steal for the price! Works universally with most cameras and perfectly with the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II. I have very sensitive skin and I have no issues using this every day while traveling with my camera around my neck. Very comfortable and stylish!
  • Adjustable length makes the camera strap applicable to most people
  • The universal interfaces are compatible with cameras of various brands
  • Personalized options and eye-pleasing design 

Insect Repellent: Repel 100​ Protection

I am going to start by saying - I am very aware that "Deet," the active ingredient is not "good" for you. In my life I normally choose the healthy, holistic approach when I have the option. When it comes to insects, especially mosquitos that carry disease - I throw that approach out the window and put this on!

This isn't for your vacation when a few mosquitos are flying around at dusk. This is when you are in a jungle, rainforest, or a country where disease risk from mosquitos is high. I swear by this and every time I travel with it - the people I'm with turn it down and a few days into traveling they are all asking to use it.

This is not some spray that will nourish your skin - but it's EFFECTIVE - and definitely worth having in your bag if you plan to travel somewhere you might need it.
​
  • Repels mosquitoes, chiggers, biting flies, and ticks for up to 10 hours
  • Formulated for extreme environments
  • Repels mosquitoes that may transmit the Chikungunya, Zika, Dengue and West Nile viruses
