Travel Essentials

The items listed below are things we use while traveling full-time.

We have tried many different products and these seem to be the most efficient and reliable. After our first full year of travel, we learned a lot about how to travel smarter but we had to make some serious changes to our travel necessities. These products are all things we use daily and never leave home without. We hope these help make your trips easier!

 

Away Travel Uniform

Over the last two years we have been living out of our suitcase. This makes it very hard to keep the suitcase in one piece. With these we have 100% lifetime warranty so if something breaks we will always be covered. They will send you a brand new suitcase free of charge.

Lightweight Rain Jacket

Having something light and breathable for all environments is a must when you're traveling. If you plan to visit any tropical destinations don't go without this jacket.

Microfiber Towels

With both of us using one luggage space is like gold! We make sure to have two microfiber towels packed to save room and for quick drying.

Ceptics World Travel Adapter Kit

There are many power adapters out but there are none like this one. Most have spring fed pins that constantly fall out of the wall. With sturdy pins, surge protecter and a volt detector the Ceptics travel adapter is something i wont travel with out. With all five adapters you re covered in over 200 different countries.

Travel Cube

The best travel cube that fits in our backpack and allows us to charge all devices at once while being double protected

Backup Battery

20000mAh battery pack. This is the largest size battery pack most planes will allow you to travel with. Great for keeping all devices charged for a couple days.

Cable Case

With all the electronics we carry, they come with a lot of chargers. This all in one cable organizer allows us to neatly carry all the necessary cables.

ALEADER Men's Quick Drying Aqua Water Shoes

With us always exploring a lot of places with water we don't leave home without these shoes. Having these quick dry no slip water shoes are an essential to our adventures activities. From waterfalls to snorkeling they really help a lot.

All in One Travel Wallet - 2 Passport Holder

Because Tah is always "miss-placing" things i make sure to carry all of our important documents in this holder

4-Piece Packing Cube

These are essential for keeping laundry and shoes sorted and organized.

Resistance Bands

These Resistance Bands are the best compact work out system to help us stay fit while traveling.

Camera Gear

Updated list of all of our camera and vlogging gear

How To Get Cheap Flights?

When it comes to searching for flights and getting the best deals we use Skyscanner.com. This tends to be our go-to site because we can search from our location and then for the destination we put everywhere and choose the whole month for dates. This shows us not only the cheapest places to fly but the cheapest days to fly as well. You may be surprised at how cheap flights actually are.

 


Location Specific 

All items in these videos we carry on us everywhere we go but each video tells you the specific item and reason for a specific country. We hope they help you be the most prepared you can possibly be for your upcoming trip!

Sometimes you have to look at things from a differ Sometimes you have to look at things from a different perspective in order to see what you hoped for. As you travel getting to locations early is a must for me, being able to capture places and people without having the mass crowds is hard if you aren’t an early bird. It took a little bit of waiting to get the right shots but it was well worth the wait 😍⁣

This is what makes exploring the unknown so special is being able to adapt to the situations and really take it all in. I will tell you one thing, you never know what you will run into when you are in the deep countryside. Like this stampede that almost took out our car 😂⁣⁣

It all started with a culture shock, a feeling of It all started with a culture shock, a feeling of uncertainty, the feeling of something new. For me travel, all started in 2016 when I was first stationed in South Korea. I got off the plane at 11 PM and had no clue what to expect, what to eat, or how to get around or find my way. This was the turning point in my life. The point that forced me outside of my comfort zone, pushed me to be a better person and learn something new. ⁣
⁣
When I travel people ask me how I choose destinations. It used to be based on cost, where I could go that was cheapest, while still allowing me to step outside of my comfort zone. Now it's based on experience, although I was hoping for more vibrant wildlife Costa Rica was a place that allowed me to not only put myself and @jrherrm in a completely new situation but see some of the most beautiful birds we have ever seen. ⁣
⁣
What makes you want to travel somewhere? Is it experience? Wildlife? Food? Sites?⁣
⁣
This is a Chestnut Mandible Toucans and wow they are even more beautiful in the wild 😍🦜⁣

I have to say La Fortuna was my favorite place we I have to say La Fortuna was my favorite place we visited in Costa Rica Full of incredible sites, beautiful wildlife, and the sounds of waterfalls and nature around every corner. One of the coolest parts about La Fortuna is right in the center of town is there is Parroquia San Juan Bosco. This is a small church where on a clear day you can see Arenal Volcano steaming in the back!⁣
⁣
The plan is to visit again, but this time I think we will head to deep into the rainforest where things are a little bit more undeveloped and hard to reach.⁣
⁣
Have you been to the south of Costa Rica? ⁣

Thank you @jrherrm for helping me capture these shots and taking me here for my birthday! ⁣

Weather is very unpredictable while traveling and Weather is very unpredictable while traveling and being prepared for every situation while packing as light as possible is a MUST. ⁣

For us, staying dry and keeping all my equipment safe is a TOP priority. In all my camera bags we carry a rain cover as well as a rain jacket. Even though we weren’t in the rainy season yet it sure did rain  A LOT in Costa Rica. @thinktankphoto⁣
Has been our go-to bags and gear for more than five years and we are excited to announce we will be continuing this partnership with the launch of some pretty incredible bags at the end of the month! ⁣
⁣
Thank you @thinktankphoto for always supporting @divertliving and @optimuminfluencemedia. From travelings to hobbyist and professional, there’s no other company we trust with protecting our equipment like @thinktankphoto⁣
⁣
Místico Arenal Hanging Bridges is a great adventure rain or shine, it took us about two hours to make it through the whole park but being under the rainforest canopy really was beautiful! ⁣
