It is that time of year for my favorite, A Traveler Holiday Gift Guide for the adventurous traveler. While on travels around the world, others ask “what are my favorite items that I never leave home without”. Here are my current favorites that always make it in my luggage, plus ones that are on my wish list. With the holidays coming up. This gift guide is a great idea for travelers that you know. Travel items that I like are researched before recommending them. Items included are clothes that are quick to dry, shoes that take me through the dirt, mud and quick dry, smaller items, plus electronics that keep me in touch with social media.
I am excited to share with you my current A Traveler Holiday Gift Guide.
My Favorite Travel Items from Amazon US, UK & CAnada
Sharing with you some of my Favorite Electronics that I like to use. I do not always travel with my laptop, the trusty Apple Ipad is the next best thing. I like to use the one with wifi or cellular usage. One can take notes or like this one lets me write my next blogs and keep up with social media. The GoPro6 is my next want item. I have a previous GoPro thats used but this GoPro6 is on my wish-list. Then I will have to look for attachments for the new GoPro.

Here are my favorite go to Travel Clothes that I do not leave home without. I have the Royal Robbins Travel Pants in a few different colors which are easy to wash in the sink and dry overnight. They took me all through Italy for 1 month with just a carry-on. The Merrell Shoes took me to Vietnam & Cambodia during rainy season and dried quick plus were light weight to pack in my bag. Now the trusty Marmot Rain Jacket is one I have with me on travels, packs small and kept me dry.

Trusty Travel Guide Books that I do not leave home without. I buy them ahead of time. Take a marker and highlight great places I want to visit. Then I take sticky tabs and write on them. Now I am ready to venture off on my travels. These books are my guidelines but I still like to travel outside of the box. These travel books are my favorites of places I have been and a few on places I want to visit that I use.

Love traveling with my Samsonite Carry-on Spinner bag as just my only luggage since it holds my clothes or in adition when traveling with more luggage. Fits in the overhead bins plus expands to hold those extra gifts that I find in my travels. Next is my favorite National Geographic Camera Bag. Easy on my back, great for a women, where it is not bulky plus holds my camera, lens and batteries. The North Face Back Pack is great for day hikes and walking around town. Perfect size that lays flat if you want to pack it into the suitcase.

Here are a few of my Favorite Travel Items. Like the RFID in the Leather passport cover. The Travel Diary looks cool plus it will hold stubs from daily activities. This will be in my next amazon purchase. These Leak Proof Bottles are great to hold liquids plus refillable Stainless Waterbottles that are reusable so we can help save the environment. Packing Cubes are a new item that I am using but like the concept of keeping like items together plus the Travel Yoga Mat is also on my next purchase.

Great list! I buy the Rick Steves pocket versions of guides so we can carry them around with us. Lonely Planet is great, too! There’s so much info online but I also like to have something on paper in case of spotty internet or problems accessing my saved online notes.
Thanks Sharon…I am like you I take the paper version of my travel books in case of the internet or I just want to write down some extra notes. Rick Steves is one of my favorite travel books for Europe.
I think I would go for a GoPro from this list. A lot of people think I take photos with one so I should actually use one!
You actually take great photos and I think use a fish eye lens but the GoPro is a must. They are actually loads of fun and I do recommend an extra battery 🙂
I used to love my Samsonite suitcase (had to leave it in the UK full of winter clothes, can’t “backpack” with that one lol). I have to admit, I tried the packing cubes and they aren’t for me, I love the idea but they are a little too square for me (would have suited my Samsonite though!) so now I use a couple of small plastic bags with air (the ones you mentioned) and they work better but each to their own .. that’s why there are many different things on the market 😀 I love that travel yoga mat!!!! #FeetDoTravel
I agree the Samsonite suitcase is very hard to backpack with, lol. My son loves his packing cubes in his backpackers pack, but I’m still getting used to mine. Still using both, lol. Isn’t that yoga mat cool… 😃
Packing cubes are something I haven’t used yet but really want to try out to see if I can maximise the space in my bag! Some great products here – I need to hint at my friends with this list!
Thanks Alexei, Packing cubes for me take a little getting used to but help keep items together. It was hard to stop using my space bags. 🙂 Yes, share your list with your friends for Christmas.
I’m hoping Santa brings me some new luggage!
Hi Carmen,
That would be cool for your next travel adventure!
Can I just have it all lol? Im in the hunt for a new carry on. Whats the listed Samsonite like? I need a new travel diary as well as a passport cover. Gonna have to pass this list on to my boyfriend haha!
Hi Kreete,
Sure you can have it all…lol. I love the spinner wheels on the Samsonite carry-on, plus that it is expandable and fits in the overhead compartment. It can hold lots of clothes plus my laptop! I’m sure your boyfriend would love to know what to buy you for the holidays 😊
I don’t go anywhere without my iPad either, I have looked at the packing cubes a few times, I am so tempted to try them as I am always trying to work out how everything is going to fit.
Hi Sarah,
The packing cubes seem to be the way to go. I previously used the plastic bags where one removes the air but they don’t last long and not very good for the environment. I figure try the packing cubes and you will be surprised 😊 I have heard lots of backpackers love them too.
