Why I Love Travelling – a personal story about how travel changed my life

Aug 6, 2022 | Feature | 0 comments

If you’re still wondering why I love travelling so much, then read on for my personal story about how travel changed my life! It’s hard to imagine where it all began because I wasn’t raised to see the world. But once the floodlights switched on and I had a taste of travel, there was no coming back. Travelling has opened my eyes to new cultures and different ways of life and shown me an endless amount of natural beauty. It has changed me as a person for the better and given me experiences that I will never forget.

There are special memories in life, like when I met my wife for the first time, my kids were born, and we bought our first house and truly felt like adults. But for me, some of my most cherished memories are from my travels. I love the adventure and excitement that comes with planning a trip, not knowing what lies ahead but being confident that it will be amazing.

Hey, not that my wedding day over 16 years ago and the day my kids were born don’t top the list; of course, they do. However, there is something about getting away from every day and exploring our big beautiful world.

From the first time I stepped foot on a plane as a young adult, I was hooked. I loved everything about flying; the anticipation of takeoff, the views from above, and finally touching down at a new destination. The sense of freedom and adventure that comes with travel is unlike anything else. And I knew that I wanted more.

So, why do I love travelling? For me, it’s all about the experiences. Each new place I visit presents an opportunity to learn something new, see things from a different perspective and make memories that will last a lifetime. 

Whether watching the sunset over the Himalayas in Nepal, I was hiking the jungle in Borneo or enjoying a coffee in a Bali cafe. While travelling, I will always create memories that I will treasure forever.

The sunrise from Chisapani in Nepal.

Why do I love travelling, and how did it change my life? Let’s go back a bit before I even saw another country outside of Australia. By the end, you’ll understand why I love travelling and how I can’t stop.

Unless a virus takes control of the world, naturally.

I never travelled internationally growing up.

I don’t think I am alone in this because international travel is undoubtedly more convenient in modern times than in my youthful years in the 80s and 90.s. But my family never went on holidays overseas, except for domestic trips to Sydney from Melbourne. That was fine, Sydney was superb, and the memories were strong, especially the beachside area of Manly. Yet, international travel remained a mystery. 

However, going overseas was a pipedream growing up. It all changed when I got my first real job and joined the Australian Army.

My first overseas trip came about a deployment in the Army.

On my first overseas trip, I didn’t even have a passport. I didn’t need one getting deployed to another country with the Army, so that’s always a remarkable fact I like to mention from time to time. How is this for a little fun fact?

Anyway, my deployment was peacekeeping in East Timor, and I was there for just three months. It was a fantastic experience and one that changed my life in so many ways that I am forever grateful for.

However, it wasn’t a holiday. Besides being based in the hills of Bobonaro with fantastic views near the Indonesian Border, there wasn’t a lot of time to be a tourist.

Visiting South Korea is when travelling truly opened my eyes.

Okay, my first real trip overseas with an official passport happened in 2005 when I visited Seoul, South Korea, with my Korean girlfriend. Spoiler alert She became my wife, and we’ve been married 16-plus years now, so happy ending and all that.

But this is where I had what I like to call my ‘travel epiphany’. I hadn’t given travel much thought, but being in Korea and seeing the sights of Seoul, exploring the city region and seeing impressive palaces and temples and so forth was genuinely fantastic. I loved it; I was beginning to get the travel bug.

The Gyeongbokgung Palace must be on your list during your vacation in Seoul.

A travelling Halt as Marriage and Kids took over.

Unfortunately, a trip to South Korea would be the last trip abroad for eight years, that’s right, eight years! Because we got married, had kids and bought a house, the critical stuff required in adulthood. Which is excellent, I love being a husband and father, but the travel itch was still there. I often researched for trips, but timing and financings were not there.

But why do I love travelling? Especially when I barely touched the surface in the travel stratosphere.

It’s hard to explain why I love travelling so much because it is an indescribable feeling whether you travel a lot or not.

But as circumstances changed, kids grew older, and we had a bit more money, we finally started to travel again.

And I haven’t stopped since!

Travel restarted with a trip to Fiji.

Suppose I ever think about why I love travelling. In that case, the paradise islands of Fiji in the Pacific stand out because it was here on the beaches of Fiji that I realized that I wanted to travel more. That I needed to see more places and explore this big wide world we live in.

However, it was not only the stunning beachside resorts and cocktails that helped too; the locals were the kindest people I had ever met. They had this unique way of life and culture that I wanted to learn more about.

If a tiny island country could get me enthusiastic about the rest of the world, I was keen to see what other countries had in store.

I was visiting a boutique island in Fiji.

Then Asia came calling again, and I never looked back.

Fiji got the blood pumping for travel. Therefore it was time to travel more frequently. With Asia being the most affordable place to travel from Australia, it became my haven for a trip.

Over the years following Fiji and before the virus hit the world, which took travel to a halt, I visited terrific destinations.

I return trips to South Korea, expanding further than Seoul and seeing beautiful destinations in Muju, Busan and Jeju. I had several trips to Bali, Malaysia and Thailand. I’ll never forget my tenth wedding Anniversary in Koh Samui, Thailand, where it became the Island of Love.

I became well-travelled in Asia, but what stands out the most was two adventures of different kinds. Firstly, in 2017, was the volunteering experience I had in Vientiane, Laos, where I tried my hand at teaching English to school kids and monks.

The second unbelievable experience was hiking in Nepal, just outside Kathmandu, and seeing the unbelievable Himalayas with my two eyes. It was better than any picture I could see on social media or television.

The continent of Asia is spectacular for many reasons, and I’m excited to see what else is out there in this big wide world. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll conquer Europe or even Africa! And that’s why I love travelling, it changes you as a person, witnessing experiences of different cultures in different destinations.

Happy and smiling from a high vantage point in Koh Samui in Thailand.

My most memorable trips to this date

Hiking in Nepal, volunteering in Laos or having a wedding anniversary in Koh Samui all stands out, but what indeed is the most memorable trip. Well, I can tell you, it’s none of the above.

• Kyoto in Japan – Japan is incredible, and Kyoto is a beautiful city to get lost in for a few days. I saw the best tourist attractions, the Fushimi Inari-Taisha and the Kinkaku-Ji, to only name a few best places to visit in Kyoto. The temples, the food and the culture make this place very special to me.
• South Korea – Whether it’s Seoul, Busan, Jeju, or Gyeongju, there’s an excellent reason I’ve returned to Korea on numerous occasions . It’s a beautiful country with something new, whether the food, the nightlife, or just exploring a new neighbourhood.
• Nusa Lembongan in Indonesia – The beautiful island of Bali, Nusa Lembongan is the perfect place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. With its turquoise waters, white sand beaches and coral reefs, it’s easy to spend a few days on the island and cherish life and what is around you.

Paradise awaits any traveller on arrival in Nusa Lembongan.

How my love for travel opened my world to travel writing

The love of travel inspired my blog, Fair Dinkum Traveller, which started in 2016. It’s a place where I share my personal travel stories, itineraries and tips to help others explore this big wide world we live in.

I have visited some unique places as a travel writer and influencer through writing. I’ve written about travel destinations, especially my immense love of Asia and my home country in Australia.

I’ve been very fortunate to have articles published in well-known travel publications, giving me more opportunities to quench my thirst for travel.

But why do I write about travel? I want to inspire others to get out there and explore this big wide world we live in. I want others to know that seeing the world is possible, whether you’re from a small town or city.

And that’s why I love travelling, because it changes you as a person, witnessing experiences of different cultures in different destinations.

I literally have no idea what I’d be doing if I wasn’t travelling.

But I’m fairly sure I wouldn’t feel half as happy or fulfilled.

Indeed, I’ve been on the road for a while now and my time away from home has made me realize just how much I love to travel full time, and how uninterested I am in going back to an ‘ordinary life’!

For now, I love travelling and am totally content on the road, looking to the next adventure and earning money as I go.

Are you considering a trip, and wonder what all the fuss is about? I had a think and put together a list of 100 reasons why I love travel.

I hope it’ll help you discover a love for travellilng too. Enjoy!

My Love for Travelling: 100 Reasons I Love to Travel

I love travelling because I get to…

1.   Explore New Countries (the #1 Reason Why I Love Traveling!)

Seeing new places is the number one reason to travel!

You get to see new parts of the world. You realise very quickly how much is out there, and how unique each new place can be. I want to travel to every country in the world!

2.   Experience New Cultures

I love to travel and experience new cultures.

The values, ideals, history, and art of each new place you go is always a unique and intoxicating shock to the system.

3.   Experience New Ways of Life

Go travelling and understand how your way of doing things isn’t necessarily the right way of doing things! You get to see how other people go about their lives.

4.   Meet New & Different People

Why do people like to travel?

One reason is because of the people you meet on the road. Strangers become best friends very quickly. You hang out with people from all different countries and walks of life and get on amazingly all the same.

5.   Meet the Locals

It’s easy to only spend time with travellers when you’re on the road. But meeting and interacting with the locals is always a highlight. This is how you really start to learn about a country- by talking and sharing with local people.

6.   Have Travel Romances & Relationships

Something about travel lends itself to relationships! Remember, you’re meeting masses of likeminded people. Statistically speaking, you’re bound to fancy at least one of them…

7.   Eat New & Exotic Foods

Oh man, the food. This is reason enough to explore new countries! You get to eat real, fresh, local food. It’s often stupidly cheap and tastes like 5* cuisine.

8.   Witness Incredible & Diverse Beauty

This would be one answer I’d give somebody who asked me ‘why do you like travelling so much?’:

You see the world and all of its immense beauty.

It’s in the landscapes, the scenery, the atmosphere, the wildlife, the history, the people…Going to new places confronts you with beauty you’d only ever seen on TV before.

9.   Climb Mountains

On to some of the practical joys of travelling. Climbing mountains is number 1. It depends where you are, obviously, but getting outside and climbing a mountain is always a fun, challenging thing to do. It’s also a prime way to witness that beauty I mentioned first-hand.

10.   Swim in Oceans

Being next to water is my happy place. You can’t beat swimming in crystal clear, warm and tropical turquoise waters. Again, it’s more beauty to be enjoyed.

I love travelling. You get to spend time in some of the most beautiful places in the world, like this beach in Thailand.

11.   Laze on Golden Beaches

Where there’s tropical water there’s almost always a sandy beach to laze on after a swim. It’s the picture of paradise, and you get to be there at its centre.

That idea probably explains peoples’ love of travel better than any other!

12.   Bathe in Waterfalls

You’ll almost certainly get to see your fair share of waterfalls while travelling! Ducking your head under and having a natural power shower is always amazing.

13.   Explore Ancient Ruins & Temples

Do you like to travel? Don’t know yet? Well, you’re sure to love traveling if you’re a history buff.

It’s hard not to feel in awe when you step foot through ancient ruins and temples. You know people were there, exactly where you’re standing, thousands of years before you. It’s very very cool.

14.   See Historic Monuments

Same goes for famous monuments (I’m thinking things like the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, the Tower of London, and the Golden Gate Bridge…etc). You set foot upon buildings and structures that are famous around the world.

15.   Experience New (& Sometimes Ancient) Art

The other day I went for a walk to see some Aboriginal artwork.

There were children’s handprints made of red ochre laid upon the rock, which had been made thousands of years earlier. It was genuinely awesome to see. Travel does that. You see the art (new and old) of current and ancient civilisations.

I think it’s a key reason that, as people, we love to travel.

16.   Experience Foreign Architecture

Modern global cities aside, you get to see the unique architecture styles of different countries. Some places are renowned for their architecture. This isn’t my favourite part of travelling, but it’s still cool to see the buildings of other places (past and present).

17.   See Wonders of the World (a Major Love of Travel for Many People)

Some parts of the world just shouldn’t be missed. Iconic places like the Grand Canyon and Machu Picchu are genuine world wonders that’d surely blow your mind.

18.   See Insane Natural Phenomena

The natural world boasts some crazy stuff to see. Things like the northern lights are high up on my bucket list. Going travelling puts you in front of startling displays of nature.

19.   See Crazy Wildlife

Same goes with wildlife. I was born and raised in cities. The most interesting wildlife I saw (outside of zoos) were squirrels and foxes! There’s always cool wildlife to see close to home. But it’s always special to see exotic animals in otherworldly environments on foreign shores.

20.   See Things with Your Own Eyes

One of the greatest parts of travel, for me, is just seeing things first hand. You aren’t seeing an edited version of events via screen. You aren’t hearing about it and getting glimpses of it through other people. No, you’re actually there in the thick of it.

I think seeing things with your own eyes is another reason why we love to travel.

21.   Get Out of Your Bubble

Life can seem like a bubble. You see the same people, do the same things, and spend time in the same places…It’s easy to live the same routine day in and day out for years. Travel helps you step outside of that. You realise there’s far more out there to see and do.

22.   Realize Your Way Isn’t Necessarily the Right Way

I think this one stems from meeting new people, stepping out of your bubble and experiencing new ways of life. All three factors interact and deliver the obvious conclusion that you way of walking through life isn’t necessarily the only way to do it.

You learn from others, try new things, and develop personally as a result.

23.   It Isn’t an Office

My tongue is firmly in my cheek for this one. But, let’s face it, anything is better than an office, right? It is for me, anyway. Life can get boring. It’s easy to get trapped.

I like travelling because it breaks those chains and pushes you into new and exciting situations.

24.   Have an Adventure

On that note: travel and adventure go hand in hand. When I was younger this is what I dreamed about. I wanted to go exploring and adventuring around the world. Travel is a natural part of that process.

25.   Test Yourself

It isn’t always easy, though. In fact, it’s sometimes exceptionally tough. It’s tiring, lonely, and full over discomfort all around. You’re pushed out of your comfort zone a lot.

That’s no bad thing, though. Life can get very cushy. Suffering a little bit is a great tool for growth.

26.   Do Something Different

This is another big one for me and others. We love travelling because we want to live an extra-ordinary life. I don’t want to do the same old thing over and over again, if I can help it.

It’s the whole:

‘It isn’t the years in the life, but the life in the years, that counts’

I want to look back on my time and feel as if I’ve really lived. I love travelling around the world because it makes me feel like I’m doing exactly that.

27.   Try New Diets

I’ve already mentioned the exotic foods you’ll try. This one’s a bit different, though. Depending on where you are, you may have to switch up your diet entirely.

For example, when I was in Sri Lanka I ate a vegetarian diet because that’s all that was served in my homestay. Now, in Australia, I’m travelling with a vegan, so I’ve been eating neither meat nor dairy for 6 months or so!

28.   Learn More about Yourself

It’s hard to go travelling and not discover stuff about who you are. This is actually one reason I wanted to travel in the first place.

Everything about it forces self-discovery upon you. You’re fending for yourself thousands of miles from home. It’s natural to be confronted with both the good and bad aspects of your character.

29.   Discover Hidden Talents

You’ll find yourself doing things you would never have imagined possible. You might discover a knack for negotiating, riding a scooter, living with few possessions, cooking for yourself, meditating, and so on.

30.   Figure Out What You Want from Life

Again, more learning. This time it’s about your future and where you see yourself. I think this is a natural outcome of learning more about who you are. What you want to do ends up as a natural by-product of that. You might even surprise yourself with what you decide.

Why do people like to travel? Lazing in hammocks on a tropical beaches is one compelling reason I can think of! It’s definitely one reason I enjoy travel.

31.   Realize Your Issues

There’s nothing quite like travel for highlighting your issues, insecurities, and neuroses. Again, that’s no bad thing. Knowing about them is the first step in dealing with them.

32.   Overcome Your Issues

Following on from the last point. Travelling can offer a guiding hand to help you handle the personal issues you discover. It gives you time to contemplate, situations to overcome, and lovely new friends to support you.

33.   Challenge Your Fears

I jumped out of a plane in New Zealand a few years ago. I hate heights. I still hate heights, but I’m far better with them now. That’s just one example of how travelling with confront you with scary situations for you to overcome.

34.   Challenge Your Assumptions

All of us are full of hidden prejudices, beliefs and assumptions. Travel can expose and overturn them.

As a very basic example, you might assume that poor people are unhappy. Seeing poverty in third world countries can instantly challenge that.

35.   Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

I think I’ve already mentioned this in another point. However, it’s worth re-emphasising. Travel is tough! Unless you’re just lying on a beach somewhere, you’ll be tired, uncomfortable, and challenged at every turn.

36.   Try New Things

I love travelling and exploring because you do new stuff every single day. It’s almost impossible not to. Again, that’s unless you spend your days lying on a beach. Don’t do that (too much).

37.   Make Incredible Memories (a Major Reason I Enjoy Traveling So Much)

Everything I’ve mentioned so far (and will go on to talk about) helps you create incredible memories to relive throughout your life.

It’s said that all we are is a system of memories anyway. If that’s the case, then I’d rather be a system of awesome and adventurous ones.

38.   Gain New Stories to Tell

All those new memories deserve to be shared. You’ll never be short of a story when you’ve been travelling.

39.   Experience Freedom

I hate feeling stifled and restricted. I’ve realised more recently that I also like being my own boss. Why do people travel? Because it’s the ultimate freedom. You decide what you do and where you go at all times.

40.   Experience Independence

For me, independence goes hand in hand with freedom. I’m not reliant on anyone else. If I wish it, it’s literally me versus the world. That can be a scary prospect at times, but it’s liberating too.

Wondering why people travel? I think it’s partly to experience true freedom and independence. I think it’s a major reason you’ll love to travel as well.

41.   Experience True Happiness

Why travel? So you can feel happy!

I’ve never felt happier than I have on the road. Everything I’ve just talked about lends itself to true, deep and long-lasting happiness.

42.   Experience True Human Kindness

You come across some beautiful people on the road. You know, the ones that make you feel downright self-centred by the simple virtue of their kindness and generosity?

You’ll find yourself in a fair few pickles on the road. You’ll also come across your fair share of awesome people willing to lend a hand, asking nothing in return.

43.   Become More Aware of Tricksters

That said, there are also a fair few people who’ll try and take you for a ride. These people aren’t as nice, but they still help out in their own way.

You learn who you can and can’t believe, and to trust in your gut. Those are two invaluable life lessons.

44.   Become More Assertive

Travelling can teach you to be more assertive in yourself. There may be times when people and situations make you feel uncomfortable. There may, in worst case scenarios, be a level of danger as well.

Assertiveness is a useful trait that enables you stand up for yourself and not bow to peer pressure. Travel can help you find it within yourself.

45.   Enjoy Off the Beaten Track Experiences

Sticking to the tourist trail can be awesome. But it’s when you step away from it that the magic can really happen. Away from the hubbub and fuss, you stumble across moments in time that you’ll never forget.

46.   Find Hidden Gems

These off the beaten track experiences also have a habit of exposing hidden gems. Tourist trails are, by definition, popular. That’s where everyone goes.

But it’s the back alleys, lost temples, and forgotten hot spots where the magic really lays. Discovering these hidden gems is another reason everybody loves travel so much!

This is where interacting with the locals can be so helpful. They’ll tell you about the lesser known places to explore.

47.   Appreciate Home Comforts More

It’s insanely easy to take home comforts for granted. Travelling basically takes you away from them all! Wave goodbye to your bed, your mum’s cooking, constant WiFi connectivity, and, often, quality infrastructure. You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone!

48.   Appreciate Friends & Family More

The same goes for the people back home. In the inevitable moments of homesickness, you’re sure to feel their absence. You’ll realise how lucky you are to have these people who you in your life.

49.   Appreciate Modern Technology

You’ll value the technological side of things as well. That’s particularly true when there’s no internet where you are. However, when it is available, you’ll appreciate just how incredible modern tech has become.

Take the ability to instantly connect with friends and family, for example. It’s genuinely amazing. You can be on the other side of the world and see their faces as if they were right there.

50.   Appreciate the Simple Things

A big reason for the trip is that travel strips you back to basics. With just a backpack, you can’t take all of your home comforts with you!

Suddenly, the simple things make a big difference. It’s having the time to just sit and do what you want. It’s the freedom to explore. It’s the appreciation of having a hostel bed to sleep in.

Spending time with the local people of a country is always a highlight of the trip. It’s another reason I love travelling and exploring new places.

51.   Realize Your Good Fortune

If you hadn’t realized, I like travelling a lot!

Partly because all that newfound appreciation helps you understand how good you have it normally. Travelling highlights how lucky you are in comparison to the plight of others.

52.   Witness World Problems First Hand

One way in which that happens is by revealing the levels of hardship other people live with. Head to poverty-stricken countries and look around.

People have nothing to their name, living in the dirt and doing what they can to get by…And they’re often the happiest people in the world! It can be massively eye opening.

53.   Expand World Knowledge

Stepping out of your bubble will expose you to new situations and information. Your understanding of the world, and the good and bad that happens, grows all the time.

54.   Learn History of New Countries

Part of that knowledge comes from learning of a new destination’ history.

For example, I went to Cambodia a couple of years ago and found myself inundated with newfound insight into the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime. The same thing can happen anywhere you go.

Thankfully, it isn’t always so depressing! Whatever the case, learning a country’s history is key to understanding its culture and politics. It sheds light on the context that you’re travelling through.

55.   Get Totally Lost

Getting lost has a bad reputation. I’m not a massive fan of it myself.

However, (if you can avoid the bad parts of town) it’s a sure-fire way to get to know a new place better and discover those hidden gems I mentioned earlier.

Equally, thank to mobile phones, it’s often difficult to get truly lost these days anyway.

56.   Find Yourself

There’s more ways than one to feel lost. And, as the classic travel cliché goes, hitting the road is a great way to find yourself in the process.

Remember, you’ll come away having overcome challenges and discovered more about yourself and what you want from life. I’m pretty sure that’s the definition of finding yourself!

57.   Find New Self-Confidence

Self-confidence is another natural by-product of everything you do and overcome on the road. It’s hard not to feel more confidence in your abilities and in yourself.

58.   Mature as a Person

Same goes with maturing.

I always remember getting to university at age 18 and meeting people who’d taken a gap year to go travelling. They were only a year older than me, but they seemed 50 to 10 years more worldly and mature.

Again, I think it’s a natural part of travelling. It forces you to mature.

59.   Become a Better Person All-Around

Everything about travel has the potential to make you a better person. Maturity, self-confidence, self-knowledge, world-knowledge, greater awareness, challenged assumptions…it all adds up to you becoming a better human being.

60.   Time to Relax (Another Major Reason I Like to Travel a Lot)

Travel gives you time to yourself. You might not have had that luxury in years. You might have been working hard-out for half a decade or longer. That’s what society tells us we should do.

Travel gives you a breather. You get to chill out for a change, with nobody breathing down your neck to meet targets, get better grades, and/or step your game up, and so on.

Pictures like this sum up why travel is just outrageously awesome. How could you not love to travel?!

61.   Time to Party

Of course, there’s always time to party as well.

Almost everyone who travels is sure to have their fair share of nights out. Beach parties, street parties, hostel parties, pool parties and house parties are all common.

And there’s no Sunday evening blues to dread either!

62.   Time to Do Anything You Want

You’ll never be short of something to do when you travel.

In fact, sometimes there’s too much to see and experience. In a bid not to miss out on anything, it becomes easy to burnout.

63.   Realise the World’s a Big Place

To travel to one new country is to realise how many others there are to experience as well.

This aspect of travel can actually put people off! I’ve had conversations where someone has argued the lack of point of travelling because there’s always more of it to do! You’ll never see it all, so you may as well stay in one place.

I disagree, obviously. You definitely realise how much there is to see though. I take it as encouragement to keep exploring.

64.   Realise the World’s a Small Place

The world can seem enormous and tiny in the same instance. Go travelling and you’ll almost always meet someone you have a vague (or close) connection to.

You realise how you’re never truly too far disconnected from home.

65.   Learn to Budget

I’d never budgeted before I first went travelling. And it showed! I spent thousands of pounds in the first few months. I remember spending, in 6 weeks on the road what would now last me 6 months!

It was awesome! But it wasn’t exactly sensible from a financial standpoint. Travelling definitely teaches you how to be better with money.

66.   Learn to Pack Lightly

The same goes with packing. The first time I travelled I thought I’d packed minimally, but I could hardly pick up my bag it was so heavy. You learn as you go, though.

By the end of a trip, you’re a packing pro, carrying only as much as you need.

67.   Learn to Live Simply

You learn to value the simple things on the road; you learn to live a simpler life too.

Travelling made me see how little I need to be happy. I realised I didn’t actually gain much from having lots of stuff. My favourite times on the road have been marked by living as simply as possible.

68.   Learn Possessions Aren’t Everything

Going travelling can highlight our reliance on material stuff. You realize you don’t need it. Throwing it out can lead to greater life satisfaction.

69.   Learn Money Isn’t Everything

The same goes for money. The happiest people you tend to meet on the road (especially in terms of locals) are those with the least money. Sure, you definitely need some of it to survive and thrive.

But it is by no means the be-all and end-all.

70.   Learn West Isn’t (Necessarily) Best

Going travelling reveals some of the atrocities western countries have been responsible for overseas.

I love this part of travel because, again, it’s about challenging your assumptions and learning how other countries perceive your own.

You start to understand more about the role your home country has played around the world and the impact it has had (both good and bad).

You don’t need much to be happy. Travelling can take you back to basics. Sometimes it’s the simple pleasures that are best. I like travelling for reminding me of that fact.

71.   Learn the Value of Good Company

In my experience, feeling lonely at times is inevitable when you’re travelling. You realise the importance of having kind-hearted, loving people in your life!

72.   Learn to be Less Judgmental of Yourself

I’m naturally quite critical of myself, and am quick to judge myself harshly as a result. I like travelling because it seems to help me cut this out of my life. I feel more comfortable and happy with who I am.

73.   Learn to be Less Judgmental of Others

The same goes for other people. I think most people tend to judge each other. It seems natural. However, being too quick to judge is never good.

Travel surrounds you with people you might never otherwise hang out with. It challenges stereotypes and helps you see people for who they really are.

74.   Learn that Strangers Aren’t (Always) Scary

We’re taught as children never to talk to strangers.

You can understand why, but it creates a general idea of distrust when it comes to people you don’t know. You’ll be around strangers at all times when you travel!

You realize the vast majority are lovely, friendly and helpful.

75.   Learn When Strangers Are Scary (& How to Discern)

Of course, you always get the occasional bad egg. Remember, travel helps you become more assertive, and to trust your gut.

Similarly, it can give you greater insight into the people you want to spend time with, and who you should avoid.

76.   Learn How Capable You Are

Travel helps people to flourish. They go into the trip as a caterpillar, and emerge as a beautiful butterfly! You realize you can do far more than you first thought.

77.   Learn New Skills

Travelling provides its own sort of education. Remember, you’ll be discovering hidden talents! Part of that comes from learning entirely new skills.

78.   Learn New Languages

Wherever you’re travelling, it’s always good to learn some words of the local language. It helps you connect with the locals, who’ll appreciate the effort (even if you just know how to say thank you!).

You may never become fluent, but you’ll definitely get an introduction to new world languages.

79.   Learn to Cook

Never cooked for yourself? Travel’s the time to learn. Unless you want to blow your budget by eating out every meal, then you’ll have to!

Even better, in some countries you can do a cookery course and learn how to make the local dish.

80.   Learn How to Be Alone

This is a big one for most people. Many of us never spend time alone in our daily lives. We go out of our way to surround ourselves with others.

But being alone is crucial to learning about yourself. Constant stimulation obscures how you feel and who you are. Stripping all that away by being alone can be a challenge. Solo travel often forces you into it.

You’ll be going to restaurants alone, exploring monuments alone, and touring cities alones…and so on. Before long you’ll be an expert at being by yourself, and feeling at ease in the process.

Travel teaches you how to be alone. It’s a valuable lesson.

81.   Learn to Take Things Less Seriously

The stresses of day to day life can make anyone highly strung. Things seem serious, and we lose our sense of humour. Travel can provide the time to unwind. You become more relaxed and easy going.

82.   Learn to Let Things Unfold

You also learn to take things as they come. Some things can’t be controlled, and no amount of stressing out will change them.

I think the sheer amount of uncertainty and new experience involved with travelling helps you learn that the hard way! Over time you just stop caring as much and allow things to happen.

83.   Learn the Standard Life Routine Isn’t Obligatory

This one’s big for me. Up until a few years ago I sort of assumed that life had a particular trajectory.

School, uni, job, career. That’s what I saw myself doing. But I’m not sure that’s exactly what I wanted. More than anything, I just couldn’t see outside of that path. I think I’d been fed the idea of that life for so long that it shut me off to alternatives.

Now, having travelled and had a taste of something a bit different, it’s the last thing I want.

84.   Learn You Can Do Whatever You want

In reality, there’s no limit to what you can do. Travel freed my mind up to different possibilities. At a basic level, it made me want to travel more. Sitting at a desk lost its appeal.

85.   Understand the Need to Protect the Planet

I’ve already mentioned how travelling exposes you to how beautiful the world is. You can’t see that beauty and not want to preserve and protect it.

It’s a work in progress for me. I mean, I fly to new countries and just bought an old van to drive around in. That’s hardly environmentally friendly.

But I’m far more aware of my actions now, which has to be worth something. I’m also taking steps in other areas of life to offset and reduce my personal impact.

86.   Get a Break from Technology

So, travel makes you realize how awesome modern technology is.

However, it can also be a great excuse to get a detox from it. When was the last time you spent an entire day without looking at a screen? Like me, I’m guessing it was a while ago.

Travel gives you a rest from it and reminds you there’s more to life than what’s on your mobile.

87.   Get a Much Needed Rest

Life can be hard. It’s full of ups and downs and stress and strife. It can feel non-stop.

Travel, at a very basic level, can offer a perfect break. That newfound time on your hands gets put to good use: you get a chance to chill out and rest up.

88.   Get Through Personal Hardship

Everyone goes through tough times in life. Life throws everybody their fair share of lemons. Some people get bombarded more than others.

I’ve been very lucky in my life. However, when I have experienced hardship, travel has been the best antidote I could have asked for.

It gives you time to breathe, process, have fun, and meet new people. It drags you out of yourself and back into the world.

89.   Improve Your Career Prospects

Many people worry that travel will set them back in terms of their career.

And it can! You’ll probably be behind your mates in career-terms when you get back home. However, you’ll have had an epic experience in the interim.

Even better, it can also help. Travel is increasingly common. Employers know that and realise how beneficial it can be in developing you as a potential employee.

Overall, don’t stress about the travel-sized gap on your CV.

90.   Spend Time Outdoors

Time in nature is literally good for your health. It’s been proven scientifically. You’ll almost certainly spend a fair amount of time outside in nature when you travel.

Travel gets you out into the great outdoors. Check out those views! You gotta love it.

91.   Chase the Sun

Here’s another big reason why I love travel. It takes me to the sunshine! I don’t do well with bad weather (despite being a Brit). Being in warm and sunny climates immediately raises my mood.

92.   Sleep in Novel Places

This one’s a little out of left field.

However, go travelling and you may find yourself sleeping in some funny old places. A bad night’s sleep isn’t necessarily something I love about travel. But the stories behind them are always fun.

93.   Live in Novel Places

Travel takes you to the farthest corners of the globe and some of the weirdest and most wonderful experiences you’ll ever have.

You end up living a totally different life, in entirely new places. And it’s awesome.

94.   Get Comfortable Being Dirty

I feel very clean when I’m not travelling!

Obviously you don’t have to live dirtily when you’re on the road.

However, there may be times when you don’t have access to a shower, and you’ve been on the move for a while. You start to realise that a bit of dirt and grime isn’t the end of the world.

95.   Do Things You Never Thought Possible

You’ll find yourself in genuinely mind-blowing situations when you travel.

I remember going caving in New Zealand a few years ago. At one point we were deep underground in the pitch black, floating on rubber rings down a river, staring upwards at luminescent glow worms.

It was genuinely surreal- one of those moments you really have to pinch yourself to make sure it’s actually happening.

You’ll find yourself in similar situations if you decide to travel as well.

96.   Tick Things off Your Bucket List

Got a bucket list of things you have to do before you die?

Travel will help you tick items off it. You don’t even need an actual list of things you want to do.

At the end of your travels you’ll look back on the experience and realize how many incredible things you’ve done, and how you’ve contributed to your life.

Writing your bucket list? Here are 50 simple ideas to help out.

97.   Feel Inspired

It’s difficult to travel and not be inspired by the experience. You step outside your day to day and realize how much more is possible.

The people, the sights, the experiences, the memories…there’s almost always something inspirational to enjoy.

Want to feel inspired? This guide should help you find inspiration in your life.

98.   Feel Meaning and Purpose

Meaning and purpose are central to living a happy life. Without them, everything can start to feel pointless.

Travelling can imbue life with both. Or, perhaps, the question of ‘what’s the point?’ just matters less when you’re doing such incredible things. Either way, life feels that bit more fulfilling.

99.   Feel More Connected

Travel creates a sense of connection.

You’re there, present, and living it. You feel connected with the moment, connected to the rest of the world, connected within yourself, connected with other people.

You feel less of a lonely individual, and part of something greater than yourself.

100.   Feel Care Free

Last but not least: a liberating sense of being totally care-free.

Life can be stressful! How often do you feel overwhelmed and anxious about one thing or another? When was the last time you felt truly free of worries?

Holidays are good, but you know you’ll be back to reality in a few days.

Travel, by contrast, can be truly restorative. Worries and concerns don’t just disappear; travel comes with its fair share of trials and tribulations. However, it’s totally different in nature.

In general, life on the road can be entirely care-free, and lived with true, unadulterated abandon. And I love it.

Travelling helps you feel totally care free. I’ve never been happier than I have on the road.

Remember My Reasons for Travelling & Why I Love Travel!

As you can tell, I love travelling…a lot! I hope those 100 reasons for travel justify why that’s the case, and why I think you’ll love to travel too.

For me, more often than not, my love for travelling boils down to three little words: life is short.

It’s clichéd, for sure. But it’s also fact. Pretending it isn’t is a recipe for wasted time. If you’re determined to make the most of your time, then I think travel’s the perfect way to do it.

I’d love to know if any of the reasons I love travelling sound particularly compelling!?

how long do u like to go travelling for. I want to travel the world but im still unsure hoe long i want to go for

Hey Jim! I actually travel full-time these days as I work online, which works great for me. I think it’s different for everyone though- for some people, a few weeks does the trick; for others, it might be 3, 6 or 12 months that’s best. If you’ve not travelled before, then why not test the waters? Buy yourself a one-way ticket somewhere (with enough cash in the bank for a return flight at some point in future) and see what you think. Keep on going until you’re ready to come home! Hope that helps, and enjoy the travels, wherever and whenever you go (and for however long!) 🙂

Travel is my one true love (and here are 10 reasons why)

There are few things in the world more powerful than the connections us humans make with one another. But connecting with travel is a whole different thing entirely.

While travel may never be the plus-one at your next family wedding, the connection you make with it is incredibly pure, honest and almost spiritual. In my opinion, it’s one of the most reliable and powerful relationships you can make in your life. Like any good partnership, travel will continue to support you, surprise you and, above all, bring out the best in you. It’ll probably piss you off a few times too.

1.  Travel always keeps things interesting

Never a dull moment, a relationship with travel ensures excitement at every turn. Rather than feeling tied down to one place or one way of living, you can always move on to the next adventure. Everywhere you go, the next adventure is waiting for you, and you can take as long as you need to get there.

2. Travel will always be there for you

Whether you’re pining for the one that got away or bouncing back from a long-term relationship, there is no denying that saying goodbye to love is tough. With travel, however, this dynamic is entirely different. You can be as committed or as casual as you want. Whether you dive into a nomadic life on the road or choose to spend a couple weeks a year in a foreign land, travel will be there waiting with open arms.

3. Travel grows with you

We all go through phases in our lives—some more regrettable than others. Rather than telling you, “you’ve changed,” travel loves you in all your shapes, sizes and hairstyles. It is unconditional, understanding, and tirelessly accepting.

4. Travel surprises you

Walt Disney said it best: “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” Our greatest joys come from life’s little surprises.  On our travels, there are new paths waiting at each and every turn.

5.  Travel doesn’t disapprove

Let the “meet the parents” stage be a thing of the past. Say goodbye to that awkward dinner at which you try to convince your loved ones to see what you see in them. The group drinks where you turn to your best friend and say, “Aren’t they great?” We are drawn to places for reasons beyond our control, reasons we shouldn’t expect any one else to understand. And that’s absolutely okay.

6. Travel keeps you humble

No matter how great or terrible the events of your life may seem, it just takes getting lost in a distant destination to put things in perspective. Somehow, travel will remind you of your tiny place on Earth, while being careful never to make you feel small. It builds you up whilst simultaneously keeping you humble.

7. Travel is the perfect match

They say true love has no face. We can’t help who we fall in love with, and the same goes for travel. The adventurous-type may seek thrills in the Andes or Himalayas, while the die-hard foodie may find solace in Italy or Spain. In travel, we have boundless freedom to seek our perfect match. There is no settling when faced with an endless amount of incredible options.

8. Travel connects

There are places on this earth have a profound knack for staying with you forever. Whether it’s the sun rising over Angkor Wat or the temples of the Taj Mahal, there are places you recount over and over again, soliciting the same level of excitement each and every time.

9. Travel is honest and authentic

Travel is patient, kind, and will not hide itself from you. You may not get to know a destination right away—like any good relationship, it takes time and work before you reveal yourselves to each other. But once you do, you know you’ve found something honest and authentic: your one true love.

10. Travel lasts forever

Old or young, this love is truly timeless. At first we may find our young hearts running wild for months on end with nothing but our backpacks. As our love matures, we may find comfort in the canals of Venice or the islands of the Galapagos. Regardless, this love is ever lasting and will be by your side at any age.

It’s also one of the most popular activities to pass downtime while traveling . Reading about the place you’re traveling to takes your trip to another level.

Whether you’re looking for yourself or need travel gift ideas for someone else, the following is a list of the best books for travel lovers. Some are physical books, most have eBook options, but they ALL are sure to inspire. 

Table of Contents

Perfect for the coffee table, this book of 1000 adventure ideas will keep your traveler’s wanderlust tank full whenever they’re at home.

Here’s another one for the coffee table. (You definitely don’t want to carry this bad boy around in your luggage).

This big and beautiful book covers everything you’d ever want to know about the world—maps, flags, facts, population, climate, health…you name it, you can probably find it in this book. 

The world is constantly changing. Destinations are constantly changing. Travel is constantly changing. 

In Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2022 Edition, your traveler will learn all the best places to travel RIGHT NOW. It includes all the newest attractions, the “best-value” destinations of 2022, and the latest info on what to see and where to stay.

Here’s another bucket list book—this time, for cyclists who love to travel. 

This book is filled with info and beautiful photos of the top cycling routes both within the US, and worldwide. 

Wouldn’t it be cool if they got inspired by your gift, and went on one bucket list bike ride every year for the next 50 years?

This is the book that inspired me to leave it all behind to travel the world back in 2015. It literally changed the trajectory of my entire life. 

I’d highly recommend it for any aspiring traveler who wants to live an extraordinary life (without breaking the bank).

Vagabonding is another popular book that teaches exactly how to take a break from “normal” life and take an extended trip around the world. 

It goes over everything needed for a successful long-term trip—from saving money, choosing a destination, and adapting a traveler mindset…to working overseas, overcoming common travel obstacles, and coming back home.

This peculiar little book is jam-packed with wisdom nuggets about travel and life. I just finished it a few months ago, and it’s unlike anything else I’ve ever read.

It’s all about learning to follow our dreams and is one of the most popular books to read while traveling (seriously, if you stay in a hostel with a bookshelf, this will probably be on it).

Into the Wild is a true story of a man who wanted ultimate adventure and freedom. He abandoned his possessions and disappeared into the Alaskan wilderness by himself to start a new life.

This book is both inspiring and heartbreaking—perfect for travelers off on their own adventures. (This is also one of the best movies for travel lovers as well!)

Is your traveler headed to Thailand? If so, this crazy book will make a great travel present. 

The Beach is about a backpacker in search of a mysterious hidden island paradise in Thailand. Once he finds it, things take a weird and totally unexpected turn…but I won’t spoil it for you!  If you’re shopping for someone who loves the water, check out these other awesome beach gifts as well.

This classic book is probably responsible for 90% of the digital nomads out there today. 

It opens the reader’s mind to a whole new way of thinking about work—that you can build your work around your life of travel (versus the other way around).

While some of the specific tactics are a bit outdated, the underlying message is as inspirational and life-changing as ever.

Your traveler may have witnessed breathtaking sites all over the world…but they’ve never seen them from this point of view.

This unique book is full of beautiful satellite images of our planet—images that tell a story of how we as humans have changed the face of the Earth.

Another great option for the coffee table.

We’ve all heard of places like Machu Picchu, The Great Wall of China, and the Taj Mahal…but there are tons of weird and fascinating places around the world that nobody talks about.

Nobody except for Lonely Planet’s Secret Marvels of the World book. 

This unique book is filled with 360 intriguing places that your traveler doesn’t even know exist!

You Only Live Once is more than just a bucket list of must-see destinations. It’s a manual for living an extraordinary life. 

This book will inspire your traveler to step outside their comfort zone, grow, and live every second to the fullest.

If you’re looking for a travel gift for a hardcore adventurer, Lonely Planet’s Atlas of Adventure will not disappoint.

This book is filled with adventurous activities (and tips for doing them) in over 150 different countries. 

From surfing to dune boarding to kloofing (hiking and swimming through a ravine #WordOfTheDay), this book will keep your adventurer busy for years to come.

Coloring isn’t just for kids! In fact, adult coloring is actually weirdly therapeutic. And if that adult likes to travel, this Lonely Planet coloring books is a quirky travel gift that’ll be put to good use.

This coloring book is filled with 100 different detailed drawings of some of the greatest places on earth—a perfect activity for travelers to kill time on rest days. 

All of us travel-lovers fall into ruts every now and then, letting our inspiration tank dry up.

All the books on this list are designed to re-spark that wanderlust.

Whether it’s for yourself or a gift for a fellow traveler, it’s impossible to read these and NOT get the travel itch.

10 Synonymous Words for Travel Lovers

We often run out of words on what to say. It also happens when we talk about travel lovers or want to impress our  nomadic friends . Are you tired of using the same old words? If so, today’s fun  post is for you. 

Do you know what a person is called who loves to travel? Travel lover. Yes, but we all know that, and besides, that’s two words, not a one word noun .

Words for Travel Lovers

How about “Hodophile”. If you are saying, “what, a hodophile!” Yes, a hodophile is a person who loves to travel. Now, that’s certainly going to grab your friends’ attention next time you talk to them.

Below are the top 10 simple to pronounce words you should start using to enhance your regular travel vocabulary.

These are nothing like out-of-the-tongue kinda words but refreshing synonyms one should add to their day to day vocabulary.

Globetrotter

Do you know anyone who loves to hop between countries? Or anyone who is a hardcore traveler? Anyone who leaves their tiny footprints across the various continents? Globetrotter is what you call them, and Globetrotting is their religion.

Few of us hate staying in one place. We are people of many lands who live to travel. Itinerant is an apt word for travel lovers who have got a gypsy soul.

Many times we say, let’s hit the road ! That is exactly what roadies do, but they accompany bands or musicians and travel in a group. In recent time though, the term has become more generalized and biking groups can be also called Roadies.

Wandering around might get old after a few days, why not use roving around for a change? Become a Rover aka Travel Lover. 🙂

“Catch flights, not feelings”  is what the quote says, but what about after you get off the plane? Hop on a car, and move to your hotel, then what?

You need to walk around and discover the destination. All travel lovers are wayfarers in a way.

Nothing is permanent. And this world is massive to just live in a corner. People who make any place their home are in reality the Vagabonds – the daring nomads, adventurers , and travel lovers.

Also, you might have heard this quote from Saint Augustine of Hippo: “The World is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

Traveling alone is empowering. And when you are brave enough to take on the roads yourself you become a Solivagant. Wandering alone is an unadulterated bliss which travel lovers should try once.

Travel Buff

Wisdom comes from experience and those who are travelers amass knowledge through traveling. That is what makes them the travel-buffs.

You don’t need an explanation for this word. It is as perfect as it comes. Hodophile – the very word for travel lovers. A Hodophile is “One who loves to travel.”

In Australia , a retired old man traveling in a motorhome or caravan is named as Grey Nomad. But why just use it in the context of an old man?

Nowadays the travel lovers who live a nomadic life are often called “Grey Nomads.” (They may or may not have grey hairs though, Lol!)

What are some other words for travel lovers? Comment below and we’ll add to this list. We hope this post cheered you and brought you value. If yes, please share it with your globetrotting friends and tell them they are too young to be a grey nomad. (wink)

• THIS TRAVEL LOVER - Inspiring women to travel the world

• Solo Travel
• Responsible Travel
• DESTINATIONS
• South America
• Love Yourself
• Love Freebies
• Privacy Policy
• This Food Lover

Hello!  I’m Claire, a thirty-something dreamer, traveller and lost soul; wandering the Earth until I find what I’m looking for.  A food, drink and life-lover, my wanderlust keeps growing by the day!

I created This Travel Lover to help inspire solo female travellers.  This Travel Lover is designed for women who want to travel safely and sustainably, without compromising on adventure.

I took my first solo trip at 19, and 17 years later I love to travel more than ever!  It’s not always been easy, but travelling is my passion and I hope to ignite that passion in all of you too.  No matter how you like to travel, I will share my tricks, tips and travel stories on This Travel Lover, so together we can go everywhere we want to.

How it All Began…

I began blogging in 2013, as Tales of Barcelona.  I moved to Barcelona after having somewhat of a mid-life crisis, when on a cold, wet October day in Manchester, England, I made up my mind & booked my one-way flight for Barcelona!

However, after a couple of years there my feet started to itch once again.  This time, South America was calling me.  So I decided to quit my job in Barcelona, and booked another one-way ticket – this time to Bolivia – and began a journey to discover South America.

Tales of Barcelona became Tales of a Backpacker as I set off on my travels, with a backpack on my back & walking boots on my feet.  I began to write about my adventures, as well as tips, tricks and musings about life on the road.

Three years later, I still write about backpacking but I realised that as women we need to consider different things when we travel.  Safety is a huge issue for us, and it takes guts to travel to a new place by ourselves.  This Travel Lover celebrates our successes as solo female travellers, and I aim to show the world that women can and will do anything we can to live free lives and follow our dreams of travel.

This Travel Lover

As This Travel Lover, I want to share the very best locations, activities and accommodations in each of the destinations I visit, with tips on how to save money and when to splurge, and how to travel as safely as we can.   I aim to inspire a love of travel in everyone and create a community of determined solo travel lovers who support and admire each other.

Happy travels, wherever your feet may take you!

Love Claire xx

The 49 Most Practical & Wanderlust-Fuelling Gifts for Travelers

By Author Steph Dyson

Posted on Last updated: 2nd January 2024

What gifts do you buy a travel lover?

This is the question that my family faces each and every year. It’s not that I’m hard to buy for, it’s just that I don’t really have anywhere to put new bits and pieces or any particular need for the decorative items that are normally such a hit as gifts at this time of year.

And I don’t think I’m alone in this. But the best part about buying gifts for people who love to travel: there are always things that we do need .

Practical travel gifts and essentials – small, large or dull but incredible useful – always go down a winner for those of us travel enthusiasts with our indefatigable obsession with globetrotting.

So, whoever you have in your life who’s planning a trip away, I guarantee that this list of the best gifts for travel lovers is packed with unique gift ideas to keep them happy this year!

Click to navigate this article:

Stocking fillers for travel lovers

Contoured sleeping mask.

I can’t count the number of times that I’ve tried to sleep on aeroplanes or buses and struggled to do so because of the bright lights that they never seem to dim enough.

I always need darkness, which is why this contoured sleep mask is a great option. It’s a fantastic gift for anyone who loves to travel but also needs that right amount of darkness to get to sleep!

Shampoo bars

Since last year, I’ve been trying to both lower my use of plastic packaging and the weight of my rucksack – and I’ve found that shampoo bars are a positive way of achieving both.

Hard shampoo bars are both compact and lighter weight than in bottle form, making these the ideal travel friendly gifts.

I’ll be honest with you: finding a shampoo bar that leaves your locks luscious and lovable can be a bit of a trial at first, but once you’ve got there, you can kiss goodbye to plastic shampoo bottles for good.

Lush is my go-to, but if you’re in the US, Ethique has loads of different options, scents and ingredients – all guaranteed to put a smile on the face of your loved one! What’s more, you can find them as conditioner bars , too.

Leather passport cover

Nothing says “ready to travel” like a slick new passport cover – and with various colors and personalization options available below, you’re bound to find the perfect design for your loved one. 

Considering their passport is the most important thing they’ll be taking with them on their adventures, why not gift a long-wearing, beautiful passport cover to accompany them throughout?

Universal plug adaptor

If there’s one thing that I usually get compliments on when I travel then it has to be my universal plug adaptor.

“Gosh, how boring everyone you meet must be!” I hear you cry!

And you’d be wrong! Seriously, with prongs to fit every single possible plug socket (this may not be exactly true, but I’ve never come across one that it won’t) plus space for four USB plugs, this will keep electrics charged wherever you go.

It’s also a solid crowdpleaser as it means that, even if you are hogging the plug socket in a hostel, there’s plenty of room for everyone to get charging.

This is the ultimate gift for frequent travelers – trust me, I am one!

Body Shop Shea body butter

I’m not one to travel with many unnecessary beauty items, but I’ll admit that I don’t travel anywhere without my Body Shop Shea body butter.

Not only does it smell divine (and I mean, divine!) and provide deep moisturizing without stickiness, it’s a great pick-me-up pamper for those times when you just want something that makes you feel good!

What’s more, the Body Shop doesn’t test anything on animals, so this is guaranteed to make any travel lover feel good about their environmental impact, too.

It also works excellently as an after sun cream, so it’s ideal for any fair-skinned adventurer like me!

Moleskine notebook

Every traveler wants a way to record their experiences and there’s no way more personal than through the written word.

It’s for this reason that a Moleskine notebook is the ultimate gift for someone who loves to travel. Hardback black is the traditional style (and guaranteed to make them feel like they’ve fallen straight out of Eat, Pray, Love ).

But there are various different colors and sizes to choose from – and all are guaranteed to get your favorite traveler’s creative juices flowing!

Anker PowerCore portable charger

While travel is the perfect time to disconnect from the onslaught of information slung at us daily by the world wide web, it’s also the time when you want to have enough juice in your devices to ensure that you can capture each and every last photograph and video of your trip.

It’s for this reason that I always carry a portable power bank with me, which I’ve found invaluable for everything from long bus journeys to multi-day hikes.

Seriously, if you buy only one gift on this list for your travel-addicted friend, it has to be this.

The Anker PowerCore manages three charges of your phone (46 hours of battery life to be exact) and only weighs 180g.

It does take a long time to charge (but all of these battery packs do – you are effectively charging your phone three times, after all), so you’ll always want to pop this on overnight to ensure it gets a full charge.

(You can also buy a similar product from REI )

Eco-friendly gifts for people who travel a lot

Watertogo bottle.

Dealing with the environmental crisis facing our world is something that all of us must play a part in – and actively making the choice to reduce your use of single-use plastic is a concrete way to make a difference.

What better gift for an eco-travel-warrior than a Water-To-Go bottle? What makes these most attractive is that they contain an internal filter that gets rid of all nasties in the tap water, making it instantly safe for you to drink (unlike other travel water filters available on the market ).

What’s more, their low-price tag compared to many of the other options on the market (check out the Steripen below) makes them doubly attractive – as does the extensive work that the company does in supporting charities based across the globe.

By gifting one of these bottles to your favorite travel enthusiast, you’re helping to curb the plastic problem and do some good. What a great present!

Cork toiletries bag

Traveling in an eco-friendly manner isn’t just about protecting the earth; no, it’s about doing so in style, too.

And there’s no better way of doing it than this beautiful cork toiletries bag. It’s both eco-friendly (the cork is, obviously, 100% natural!) and vegan, making it a fabulous and unique gift!

Steripen Adventurer

I’ve raved about my Steripen Adventurer since getting it five years ago and I’ll rave about it again: this is the ultimate in eco-friendly travel accessories!

Ok, so it’s not the sexiest gift, but trust me: your recipient is going to love you. Not only will it save them a ton of money because they won’t have to pay for bottled water, but they can avoid feeling awful about having to use and dispose of single-use plastic bottles each and every day. Win-win!

While it is expensive compared with other options on the market, it’s so easy to use, the batteries last for ages and, after using this for around two months of traveling, it’ll have paid for itself.

Read my full Steripen Adventurer review if you want to read me waxing truly lyrical about this filter.

(You can also buy it at Amazon ).

Hydro Cell water bottle

Staying hydrated when you travel is essential – and having your own water bottle that works for both hot and cold liquids is mostly just a pipe dream – unless you have a Hydro Cell water bottle!

Built from stainless steel and BPA free, this bottle is vacuum sealed to keep liquids hot for eight hours and others cold for up to 24.

It also comes in a variety of sizes (I recommend the 32 oz as a sensible traveling-sized bottle), 12 cute colors (I love the fuchsia!) and, best of all, the wide mouth of the bottle works with the Steripen Adventurer!

This is a fantastically practical travel gift that they’ll get so much use out of.

Zero-Waste starter kit

Got a friend who’s trying to go cold turkey when it comes to waste? Help them achieve that goal this year with a zero-waste starter kit.

Packed up in a handy box is a range of items that they’ll be dying to use: everything from silk dental floss and mesh produce bags to bamboo toothbrushes and reusable straws.

They’re ideal for travel and the whole set looks pretty adorable, too.

Reusable makeup remover rounds

Cutting out disposable face wipes is a surefire way to embark on a zero-waste lifestyle and there’s no way to do it in more style than with these reusable bamboo makeup remover pads.

Not only are they made from sustainable bamboo, but they’re easy to use as you just need them in the washing machine after use.

They’ve genuinely revolutionised my face care routine and they’re guaranteed to do the same for your travel-loving friend!

There are similar ones on Amazon , too

Wild deodorant

Wild are everywhere right now. 

Their reusable deodorant cases, and deodorant refills (housed in eco-friendly, compostable bamboo pulp) are an obvious choice for those looking for sustainable deodorant options. Not to mention, their products are aluminum, paraben, and sulfate-free, and entirely vegan and cruelty-free.

Plus, so far Wild have planted 445,994 trees, and diverted 80 tonnes of throwaway deodorants from landfill, and they’re proud to have achieved B Corp status. What’s not to love?

Reusable and collapsible straw

Sustainable AND handy? I’m sold. 

This pack of four collapsible straws is small enough to be carried around at all times, and the clips that are included mean your travel lover can attach them to their bags for easy-access. 

Wave goodbye to plastic straws and soggy paper straws forever with these metal straws (I bet they carry on using them when they’re back from their travels, too!)

TSA-approved padlocks

From securing backpack zips to storing valuables in lockers, I always recommend traveling with at least one padlock on every adventure. 

And these TSA-Approved padlocks are a great option.

With three-digit code access (no need for keys here!), flexible cable locks and a steel build, the peace of mind of having a reliable padlock on hand is priceless.

Gifts for travelers who love to learn

Language study program: rocket languages.

I’m a huge advocate of learning at least some of the lingo of a new destination before you arrive, but understand that this can be a huge endeavor – and one that not many people have time for.

One of the best things I’ve found about traveling in South America is the fact that most countries speak Spanish, so it’s a great place to travel if you only want to focus on learning one language!

I know that Duolingo is the flavor of the day for most budding linguists, but I’ve personally never found it to be particularly effective in providing a rounded language education (although it’s great for learning random words and phrases!).

While you can spend an arm and a leg on language tuition, a great alternative is Rocket Languages.

It comes with a really comprehensive reading, writing and listening program, with a particular strength being its use of audio from native speakers to help you improve one of the most difficult of skills: comprehension on the ground.

What’s more, you can download all of the lessons, meaning you can be working on them offline – even while you’re traveling!

Language lessons through Italki

While taking face-to-face, one-on-one classes is the most ideal means of learning a language, if that’s out of your price range or doesn’t fit with your schedule, a great alternative is italki.

This is effectively an online marketplace of teachers around the globe, where you can take affordable, one-on-one classes over Skype.

Unlike subscription-based programs such as Rosetta Stone, Italki only charges you for the classes that you do take, so it’s excellent preparation for someone who travels a lot!

Adventure travel-themed gifts

Gopro hero 11.

Adventurous travelers generally have one thing in common: they love to document their trips. 

This is why the GoPro HERO 11 is such a cool gift for an adventurer in your life.

With Emmy-award winning stabilization, the ability to grab high-res photos straight from your videos, Scheduled Capture and TimeLapse features, the latest GoPro release is the best one yet. It’s also fully waterproof (up to 10m), offers 8x slow-mo and has a whopping 5.3K resolution. 

For those who might want something a little more involved, the GoPro HERO 11 bundle pack includes various wrist, helmet, and chest straps, along with tripods, selfie sticks, mounts and accessories to ensure you can film throughout your trip – whatever the adventure. 

For budding filmmakers with a little less cash to spare, the GoPro HERO 9 remains a fantastic alternative, at a slightly lower price-point.

Sea to Summit Dry Bags

If, like me, you know a frequent traveler with a tendency to pack a whole lot of technology, then you’ll be wanting to protect them from their biggest nightmare: water.

I just spent 2.5 weeks traveling almost entirely by boat on a trip to Guyana and Suriname and, shock horror, I completely forgot to pack dry bags. Honestly: there is nothing that sees you questioning your life choices more than powering down the river in an open-top dugout canoe with your $500 USD+ camera equipment sat on your lap.

In all seriousness, I normally travel with a tonne of dry bags, in a range of different sizes. Sea to Summit are both excellent quality and offer a range of different sizes.

I would recommend a two-liter bag for small electrical items (phone, passport, wallet etc) and four or eight liters for full camera equipment (depending on how much they carry with them).

The eight-liter is also ideal for storing your sleeping bag – given how hard it can be to dry it, if your sleeping bag gets wet, it really is game over.

(You can also buy them from Backcountry and Amazon )

Swiss Army penknife

As a child when we would go hiking in France for our holidays, I was told by my parents that I wouldn’t get lunch if I didn’t have my penknife on me.

Why? Because I wouldn’t have anything for chopping up the cheese or spreading the butter into my sandwich!

While this isn’t exactly a legitimate reason to not eat, a Swiss Army penknife does make an excellent gift for anyone who likes to travel.

Not only can you make your sandwiches on the move or guarantee you’re never short of a pair of scissors, but you can ensure there’s always the chance for a glass of wine thanks to the inbuilt bottle opener!

(You can also buy one from Amazon ).

Compression Packing Cubes

I cannot tell you how much I love compression packing cubes.

If you’re buying for someone who travels with a rucksack or suitcase, they are the best way to keep clothes neatly folded and organized – and as they compress, you can fit more in than a traditional packing cube.

Wave goodbye to needing to pull out every item in your suitcase in the hunt for that one shirt!

Waterproof pants

Nothing says a great gift like a pair of waterproof pants!

No, seriously: hear me out. I’ll admit, they are probably the dullest present you could find, but damn they’re useful.

When I got piss-wet through in Patagonia, these were my absolute best friends, keeping me dry and toasty, whatever the weather chose to throw at us.

What’s more, they’re considered a luxury item by lots of travelers (yeh, go figure!), so many just don’t bother to purchase them – and live to regret it.

Solar-powered phone charger

Whether it’s used to take photos of their adventures, stay in touch with home, or access Google Maps and Google Translate, chances are, your travel lover will be relying on their phone a lot. 

And with long travel days, busy electric sockets at hostels and the anxiety of running out of battery, a solar-powered phone charger could be the answer. It’s also one of the best travel safety accessories , as it ensures you never lose power when out hiking or in remote areas.

Compatible with all major phone models, tablets, speakers and powerbanks, this foldable solar-powered phone charger takes up minimal space – and the clip allows you to charge on the go, by attaching it to your backpack. 

Travel sneakers

Allbirds are fast becoming the light sneakers of choice for both men and women – and are perfect for travelers looking to explore the city, trek through the jungle or head out on a light hike. 

With cushioned midsoles and crash pads, Allbirds are designed to be worn all day without weighing you down – and as a proud B Corp, they’re also doing their bit for the environment too (check out their sustainability strategy for more info – they’re certainly practicing what they preach!)

Trekking poles

If your traveler is off on a hiking trip (whether home or away), trekking poles could very well be high on their list of must-have items. 

Designed to provide support on flat surfaces and rocky terrain, ascents and descents, they can provide stability and reduce impact on joints to help them go further, for longer. 

Rechargeable headlamp

I never go on any trip without my rechargeable headlamp – and for those heading off on an outdoor adventure, this waterproof lamp with eight different light settings is a great option for hands-free vision. 

If your traveler is also planning on staying in shared rooms in hostels on their trip, a headlamp can be a great way for them to locate items in their backpacks in the dark without needing to turn the main light on (and ultimately, stay in good favor with their roommates!)

Hydration bladder

A hydration bladder is a lightweight and effective way to keep fluid intake high when embarking on a hiking or travel adventure. 

The drinking tube allows for hands-free use, and the 2L capacity ensures your traveler is staying hydrated, whatever the activity. With a large opening, it also enables easy cleaning – and the ability to add ice into the pack, if preferred.

Miscellaneous travel gifts

Kindle paperwhite.

With limited space in their luggage, a Kindle ereader is the best way for your travel lover to carry their library of books with them.

Whether they’re looking to be entertained on long bus rides through South America, want to live their best life reading on the beach, or like to grab a few pages before they go to bed, a Kindle really will become your travel lover’s best friend. 

For those with a larger budget, the glare-free Kindle Oasis offers a 7” display, is waterproof, and features page turn buttons, or alternatively, the cheaper Kindle Paperwhite comes in at 6.8”, offers a glare-free screen, and provides the same access to millions of books in one place.

Light-up travel mirror 

Just because they might need to travel light, it doesn’t mean your travel lover needs to forgo all luxuries – and this light-up mirror is a popular option for those who still want to keep up with their beauty routines on the road. 

The mirror is ultra-slim and lightweight – and is fully rechargeable, so no need to carry batteries around. 

Electronics cable organizer

There’s nothing worse than tangled cables in the bottom of your bag – especially when you need to access your electronics quickly – which is why I love my cable organizer. 

If your travel lover is planning on taking their laptop, camera, hard drive, mouse and chargers with them on their trip, trust me when I say this cable organizer will be a hit! 

It’s also waterproof (which is a key selling feature for me!), and while it may only be small, it sure can pack a lot in. 

We’ve all seen the incredible birds-eye videos of beautiful landscapes and cliff-edges – and for budding filmmakers, a drone is most likely high on their wishlist. 

For beginners, the budget-friendly RADCLO offers the opportunity to experience using a drone, and comes with a 1080P HD camera, can carry out 360° flips, has a wide-angle lens, and can fly for up to 22 minutes. 

Alternatively, for more experienced drone fliers, the DJI Air 2S seems the obvious choice. With high res 5.4K video, a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 4-direction obstacle sensing and Mastershots, it’s well-worth heading to the review section to see some of the videos other customers have been able to shoot using this aerial powerhouse. 

Toiletry bag

When staying in hostels, it’s wise to find a toiletry bag that has a hook, enabling you to hang your toiletry bag up on a door (rather than needing to put it on a floor or surface). 

And these stylish options are as beautiful as they are functional! 

Look for a bag with multiple compartments to benefit from easy-to-access toiletries and organization (because trust me, these little moments of organization really can be a game-changer when you’re on the road for weeks at a time).

Neck pillow

Trtl have changed the game when it comes to neck pillows. 

Gone is the need to carry large, chunky neck pillows around with you (which, when you’re backpacking, is entirely unrealistic). Instead, say hello to the foldable, lightweight neck pillow with a patented internal support system. 

If your travel lover is flying long distances, they’re going to love this!

Travel laundry bag

It might not be the most glamorous of gifts, but one week into any trip, your travel lover is going to be grateful they have these! 

Help them keep their dirty laundry separate in their backpack, and keep clean clothes fresher for longer. Laundry day will be a breeze, with all their dirty clothes together in one place.

Scrubba washbag

Staying on the theme of unglamorous but oh-so-useful gifts, the Scrubba has been a staple in my backpack for years.

It packs down super-small, is lightweight, reusable, and can handle underwear, t-shirts, and trousers.

Washing your clothes on the go has never been so easy.

Travel sound machine

If your traveler is someone who needs background noise to nod off to, this travel sound machine is a great option. 

With 21 different sounds, a clip to attach to bags, and the ability to recharge (rather than needing to carry batteries around), you can ensure they get a good night’s sleep, wherever they are in the world.

Scratch-off map

Just because they might be home, it doesn’t mean your traveler can’t be dreaming of far-flung places – and this detailed scratch-off map allows them to track their travels and plan their next adventure in one beautiful location. 

Designed with cartographic detail, it also includes a breakdown of US States, can be framed, and comes in multiple different sizes. 

It’s a gift that truly can last a lifetime.

Camping hammock

Picture the scene: your travel lover has spent the day hiking in the wilderness of a far-flung destination and is ready to set up camp for the night. They’ve got their tent. They’ve got their sleeping bag. The campfire is roaring. 

And now, thanks to you, they’ve got their hammock set up between two trees, ready for an evening of relaxation and comfort. 

With two sizes available (for one or two people), the hammock comes with two 9ft talon straps, two carabiners, and a storage bag to allow for easy set-up, and even easier take-down.

bite away Insect Sting & Itch Relief Stick

For those traveling to a destination where mosquitos are known to be present, the bite away Insect Sting & Itch Relief Stick is a great gift that will provide relief for years to come.

Users simply need to press the pen against an itchy mozzie bite for 3-5 seconds while it heats up to 124 degrees Farenheit – providing near-instant relief.

Consider also gifting replacement batteries, as for longer trips, they’ll most likely be needed.

Aromatherapy roll-ons

After a long travel day, the benefits of an aromatherapy roll-on should never be underestimated – and these multipacks are an ideal option for those looking for a boost, or for relaxation. 

They’re also small enough to pack in even the most limited of rucksack space, are cruelty-free, and can be applied directly to the skin, making them a long-lasting option for those interested in essential oils.

Wireless Bluetooth speaker

Whether your traveler is planning on staying in party hostels or is looking for a more relaxed experience, having a small and portable Bluetooth speaker on hand can help provide the soundtrack to their adventure. 

Splashproof, long-lasting, rechargeable and with different color options available, it’s a great gift that can be used both home and away.

Cell phone camera lens kit

If your travel lover is a photography enthusiast but doesn’t want to be lugging a camera around with them on their trip, why not consider a cell phone camera lens kit?

This kit includes 1x 120° wide angle lens, 1x 198° fisheye lens, 1 x 20x macro lens, a universal clip (suitable for most iPhone and Android phone models), and a storage bag to keep the lenses safe and secure.

For those who won’t go anywhere without a digital camera to capture their adventures, Canon’s EOS M200 is a great option! 

Popular with vloggers, this model offers 4K video and 4K time-lapse, high-res images at 24.1 megapixels, an LED touch screen, and built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology to share images instantly and efficiently. 

Head to the review section to take a look at some of the images other customers have captured with this camera. 

The Wander Club

I love the concept of The Wander Club. 

For every country, US State, US National Park, MLB statium, city, landmark and continent you visit, you can purchase a small stainless steel ring to display on a ring carrier of your choice. 

It’s a lovely way to collect your memories, and for every order received, The Wander Club proudly feeds a child in need.

Buff headwear

With 12 ways to wear your Buff, and multiple designs available, this is a backpack wardrobe staple! 

Breathable, stretchy, quick-drying, lightweight, and offering UPF 50+ sun protection, it’s a great option wherever the destination, and whatever the adventure.

Digital magazine subscription

A whole host of magazines available to read at the touch of a button – without needing to lug them around in a backpack?

Count me in!

With unlimited access to over 7000 magazines, a Readly subscription is the gift that keeps on giving.

Microfiber towels

Microfiber towels are an absolute MUST for those looking to travel light – especially if your travel lover is off on a backpacking adventure. 

Microfiber towels are fast-drying, pack down super-small, lightweight, and absorbent – and aswell as being ideal for drying after a shower, they’re also great for the beach and at the gym. 

Look for a towel that includes a loop so you can hang them up to dry them anywhere.

Travel detergent

Nobody wants to have liquid detergent spill in their backpacks – which is why I swear by detergent sheets. 

These sheets can be used in a washing machine, or for handwashing, and works with hot or cold water. 

And for those looking to save even more space on a shorter-term trip, your travel lover can take just a few sheets with them on their trip, rather than taking the entire pack.

They’ll save on the cost of laundry, AND take up next to no space in their backpack. No brainer!

Wireless earphones

Wireless earphones are everywhere nowadays – and for good reason. 

It’s time to wave goodbye to tangled, splitting wires!  

These wireless earphones (with over 252,000 reviews!) offer Bluetooth syncing, touch control functions, the ability to charge on the go with the rechargeable case, and are waterproof up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. 

Apple AirTags

When your travel lover’s world is in their luggage, AirTags will enable them to keep track of and find their items straight in their iPhone or iPad. 

To do so, they need to place an AirTag on or within the item they’d like to be able to keep track of, and using their iPhone, they can identify its whereabouts, wherever in the world. With the replaceable battery lasting over a year, and multiple colorful accessories available separately, it’s a great way for your travel lover to keep an eye on their valuables.

Whilst your travel-lover might be short on space, there’s always something you can find for them – whatever the occasion!

Travel Gifts That Will Impress

Essential travel gifts under $100, gift ideas for travellers under $25, cheap gifts for travel lovers under $15, unique travel gifts for men, travel gifts women will love, luxury travel gifts for travelers, gifts for travellers that can’t travel right now, best gifts for the travel photographer, useful gifts for those that love outdoor adventure, frequently asked questions, travel resources for your next trip, gifts for travel lovers buying guide in 2023.

I’ve been blogging for almost 9 years now and what goes in mine and my wife’s backpack has changed in some ways but has also stayed the same.

As a serial traveller, I’m always carefully analyzing what makes the cut for trips whether it’s travel gadgets, clothing, backpacks, and comfort items.

This is not going to be your generic “holiday gift guide” list but things that are legit useful and gifts I would actually want.

We’ve shared my travel toolbox in the past and also created a guide on camping gift ideas but here is my list of the best gift ideas for all types of travellers that’ll surely impress. They’re practical, useful, and thoughtful.

What we’ve done is categorize this list into different categories and budgets to help you navigate. Enjoy!

1: Db Ramverk Luggage

If you’re looking for a gift that’ll really have them go “WOW” when you give it to them, there’s nothing more useful than a quality piece of luggage.

Db is a company founded by Norway and I’ve fallen in love with their gear ever since their the Db Strøm (later renamed to the Hugger Rollerbag) and Ramverk Backpack Pro that I featured in our practical camping gift ideas list .

When they came out with their new line of hard-shell suitcases, I knew I had to give it a try and honestly it’s been life-changing. The one featured above is the Db Ramverk Check-in Luggage Medium in Parhelion Orange . The color is stunning, it’s rugged as heck, the inner organization is so clutch, and it handles like a dream.

If you think someone is in the market to finally get rid of their old luggage and do a proper upgrade, look no further!

The entire Ramverk Luggage line consists of a front-access carry-on ($499 USD), the carry-on ($399 USD), check-in medium ($599 USD), and check-in large ($699 USD). They also ship to Canada with duties and shipping included!

CHECK PRICES

2: The Wander Club

Are you or know someone that’s obsessed about travel? This is an ingenious idea to be able to display, keep track, and remember your adventures. A rugged leather keychain holds a ring of stainless-steel tokens that can have anything from countries, cities, states, landmarks, oceans, seas, national parks, or something custom (think special events and dates).

It’s like your world map with pins but in your pocket. You can proudly display it at home or have it hanging on your backpack.

We got one recently and wanted to show you a few more detailed photos of the token holder in Forest green and also the Country Tokens and Gold Custom Tokens . To start things off, I’ve ordered all the countries I’ve visited in the past 3 years and bookmarked by “Going” and “Places” gold tokens – see what I did there?

What I love about this is that there’s an endless number of ways to keep your memories together in a compact form-factor. The holder displays a high level of craftsmanship with the hand stitching and painted sides. The leather engraving with silver foil is really sweet and its imprinted with my initials as a monogram as well!.

As a bonus, every order also provides a meal to a child in need as part of the Rice Bowls non-profit .

I’ve been able to secure a 20% discount for my readers by using code GAPWANDERCLUB . This is a larger discount than what they offer as a e-mail sign up offer so make sure you take advantage! Get your collection started today!

3: Inspirational Travel Books

If you’re looking for a great gift idea for that traveler in your life, don’t sleep on a great book that can uplift, inspire, and most importantly, get up and just go !

Fellow travel bloggers and perpetual honeymooners, Mike and Anne Howard from HoneyTrek have two incredible books:

• Ultimate Journeys for Two
• Comfortably Wild

These two books are great for newlyweds, couples, and any outdoor/adventure enthusiast!

4: Eagle Creek Packing Cubes

I’ve owned these pretty much since day 1 of Going Awesome Places and a must-have for all travellers.

As a travel minimalist or OCD about staying organized, this is an amazing way to get into the habit of rolling your clothes and keep them nice and compact. The bags themselves are super durable and weight next to nothing.

You can see that I include this in almost all of my packing lists including my recent one to French Polynesia or even for something local like this cottage packing list .

5: Anker PowerCore Power Bank

This is the Anker Powercore II 10000 mAh that has fast charge. You already know how useful these things can be whether you’re travelling or not.

For me, this has been my go-to power bank because of a couple of things. First, the footprint of this is very small is one few that perfectly fits the Peak Design Tech Pouch. Secondly, 10,000 mAh is an important specification because some airports have started limiting the maximum amount to 10,000 mAh (e.g. China).

There’s currently an updated version of this that provides Power Delivery (PD) and is actually smaller! It’s called the Anker PowerCore 10000 PD Redux .

6: Victorinox Travel Organizer

This is a super handy organizer that I use to hold all of my travel-specific cards, passport, boarding pass, cash, booking confirmation printouts, coins, and a pen. Another added benefit you get from this is that it provides RFID protection.

Victorinox has made a rugged case that belongs in any backpack as part of your carry-on kit. This is especially helpful at the airport or checking into hotels so you don’t need to rummage through your bag to find things. Pull this out and be confident that you’ll have everything you need inside.

7: Peak Design Tech Pouch

This is perhaps one of my favourite things in my travel backpack. We all have to bring more and more technology do-hickeys, widgets, and cables. The Tech Pouch keeps it all together.

I have a YouTube review of the Tech Pouch but what you need to know is that it’s the perfect place for your power blocks (laptop and phone), power bank, cables, earbuds, memory cards, business cards, pens, SIM cards, and dongles.

8: Eagle Creek Sac Set

These will look familiar as they’re by Eagle Creek but beyond matching, they’re an incredibly useful way to just organize different gear together.

Using this either in your backpack or suitcase, this allows you to know instantly what’s inside when you pull it out. I personally use this to put all my charging electronics together. I use another to throw in all my socks.

There are a ton of ways to use this and any travel lover would find a place for this in their kit.

9: Fjallraven Hip Pack

Fanny packs are back in style and there’s no slicker one than this one by Fjallraven. This hip pack comes in 3 sizes but the best for use as a companion to a backpack or as a day pack is the Large size.

Not only is this a fashion statement but a waterproof, versatile, and spacious 4 liters of space to stash your things while on the go exploring the city or on hiking trails.

10: Outdoor Research Radar Pocket Cap

This was a bit of an accidental discovery for me but pretty game changing because hats are by design, unbendable so you have to find space to cram it into your backpack or loop it off of something. With this, I can literally fold it and stash it in my pocket if I need to.

This Outdoor Research cap is unisex, provides 50+ UPF sun protection, is water resistant, and quick-drying, making this the ultimate travel hat.

11: Samsonite Tru-Frame Carry-On Luggage

I couldn’t go through this whole list and not throw in one piece of carry-on luggage. Samsonite makes some of the best suitcases on the market and one of their latest iterations is a winner.

Built to last, functional, and backed by a 10 year warranty, you can’t go wrong with this as a gift for any traveller. I love that this has two built in TSA-compatible locks, has 4 multi-directional spinner wheels, and comes in a variety of colors including navy which I’m a huge fan of.

12: Original Buff Headwear

If you follow our Instagram account or see any of my photos when I travel, you’ll see that I usually have this thing around my wrist, neck, or head. It’s one of my must-have travel items that I pack for every trip.

I have a full review of Buff Headwear but the skinny on this is that it’s a thoughtfully versatile piece of clothing that I use to keep my neck warm or protected from the sun, as a head covering to double as a hat, or to wipe sweat off.

13: Smartwool Hiking Crew Socks

I’ve always found socks to be a really thoughtful kind of gift whether it’s for a traveller or not because of just how useful and impactful it is on daily life.

These hiking socks by Smartwool are the crew style that are made out of 66% merino wool which makes it warm, cushioned, breathable, and built for performance whether you’re going hardcore trekking or need a warm pair for home.

CHECK PRICES FOR MEN

CHECK PRICES FOR WOMEN

14: Victorinox Swiss Army with Nail Clippers

Gifting nail clippers is a bit weird but in a Swiss Army knife, now that’s not weird at all!

This is a useful multitasking survival tool to have and much smaller than its bigger brothers. For flying, you’ll just need to remember to put this in the check-in luggage.

15: Croakies Arc Sunglasses Strap

Not quite the fashion statement but I’ve sworn by Croakies for a long time.

Hear me out. When you’re travelling with quality sunglasses like Maui Jims, the worst is when you have it hanging off your shirt or on your head and you forget and they accidentally fall out.

This completely eliminates that problem and is especially important for photographers because you just can’t shoot with sunglasses on and this allows me to pop my sunglasses on fast.

16: Travel Adapter Power Strip

Normally, I’d recommend the Belkin 3-outlet surge protector but this is a sweet universal power strip that’ll make sure you can charge all the things when you’re travelling.

Any seasoned traveller will tell you that the worst thing about any hotel, hostel or Airbnb is the lack of plugs. One of the first things I do when I unpack is hunt for all of the outlets and start unplugging all the things I won’t use like the kettle and maybe even the TV. With this, you just need one and you’re good to go.

17: Personalized Travel Notebook

I simply adore the simple aesthetic of these notebooks that are fully personalized. Drop in your family or friend’s favourite quote, add their initials, and get them started on their journaling adventure.

One thing to note is that this ships from the UK and is in the A5 size which is slightly narrower and taller.

18: Custom Engraved Acrylic Luggage Tags

For a unique gift for travel lovers, consider these engraved luggage tags on acrylic plexiglass with a 3mm genuine leather cord.

The design is minimal and discrete and you’re able to work with them to have something custom engraved. You also have the choice of 5 different materials.

19: Customized leather passport cover

Etsy is the best place to find custom leather passport covers like this one. The workmanship is superb and the service you get is some of the best I’ve ever experienced.

With 14 different colors of leather and various embossing styles, this will no doubt evoke wanderlust vibes to anyone you gift this to.

20: trtl Pillow

Everyone has their preferences for neck pillows for when they travel but for something radically different, you should definitely check out trtl Pillow.

The design includes a super soft fleece that wraps around a shoulder-supported frame that is ergonomically correct for the plane or bus.

21: Super International Power Adapter

I know this thing looks like is overkill but there’s a lot to like about this power adapter. Not only does it work around the world but it does so both ways on the male and female side of things. In addition, what I love the most is that it gives you 4 USB outlets.

This is that all-inclusive power adapter that also acts as a multi USB port hub.

22: Microfibre Travel Towel

Every traveller needs one of these lightweight, portable, and compact towels. From hostels to hotels or the gym, this is another one of those super useful gifts for travellers if they don’t own one already.

This one comes in a number of colors and sizes. I recommend that you go with a small or medium size because any larger means added bulk and weight when you’re on-to-go.

23: Portable Luggage Scale

Useful tool to have at home or even when travelling when you need to know the weight of your carry-on and check-in suitcase before you head to the airport.

The worst is when you arrive at the airport and realize you’re over the weight limit and embarrassingly need to open everything up to shift things around. Don’t allow your friend to be that guy or gal!

24: Travel Money Belt

Love them or hate them, money belts are essential when travelling in certain parts of the world where you need to make sure you keep your essential documents like the passport safe.

Personally, my money belt saved me in one occasion in France when I had my backpack stolen in Paris. Thankfully, I had my money belt on with my passport inside so the blow of the loss wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been.

25: Emergen-C

This isn’t a gift you often think about giving but for travellers, this is one of those things that you always want to have a few of to make sure the immune system is bolstered or if you’re feeling the onset of a sore throat.

Emergen-C comes in small dry packets and can be mixed with hot or cold water.

26: Sea to Summit Travelling Light Hanging Toiletry Bag

Toiletry bags or dopp kits are a personal thing as you can imagine but as someone that has tested many over the years , I know a thing or two about them.

If you’re looking to pick up a gift for a traveller that likes to keep things light and minimal, the Sea-to-Summit version is the best I’ve used for how low profile it is, adequate compartments, useful hook, durable Cordura fabric, and is ultra-light.

27: ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boxer Briefs

How close are you with your travel lover? This’ll certainly get you a few chuckles but once they start using it, they’ll realize how amazing of a gift this is.

I swear by these ExOfficio boxer briefs and it’s the only ones I travel with because of how easy they are to wash, how quick they are to dry, and how comfortable they are.

28: Actual money belt

Instead of the traditional money belt, this is an actual belt with a hidden money pocket. It’s perfect for emergency cash.

This won’t hold your passport but will fit plenty of bills. You will need to tri-fold cash vertically. You can also fit keys, USB keys, and photocopies of important documents such as your passport.

29: Travel pins

If you know someone that’s a fan of travel pins, there are so many different unique ones out there, especially on Etsy.

Search through Etsy to find a collection of travel-inspired pins that’s perfect for any travel lover.

30: Peak Design Everyday Totepack

This is one of the newer additions to Peak Design’s Everyday line of backpacks. This is a clean look bag that also serves as a tote bag.

Coming in black or bone color, this is the perfect on-the-go everyday and photo carry with side access, plenty of padding, and integrated straps.

31: Infinity Scarf with Hidden Pockets

This is a trendy scarf that comes in 16 different colours and at a reasonable price. What makes this great for women and also men is that there are 2 zippered pockets built in to stow things like smartphones, passport, cards, and keys.

The fabric is eco-friendly, strong, durable, and comfortable with its blend of bamboo, acrylic, and polyester.

32: Drop Dead Gorgeous Dry Shampoo

This is an all natural and vegan dry shampoo powder by Handmade Heroes. Dry shampoo is a fantastic addition to any toiletry set because it’s one less liquid you need to pass through security with.

To use dry shampoo, all you have to do is blend it in by massaging the powder into the scalp. On top of being a quick liquid-free shampoo, it also adds volume. Note that there is one for medium to dark hair and another for light to medium hair.

33: Travel Jewelry Foldable Case

This a much better way to organize jewelry when travelling than a box because this folds flat and takes up less space.

The mini size in black or soft pink make excellent gifts with its numerous zippered pockets, straps, and earrings panel. Beyond travel, this is a great add-on for business trips and night outs.

34: Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L

This is currently my primary backpack for travel and while it doesn’t come cheap especially when you factor in the camera cube you’d need, it does a brilliant job at carrying a ton of camera gear, laptop and everything else you need on the road.

A full review of the Travel Backpack and my field test shows how it can be used.

35: Travelzoo Travel Vouchers

While travel has come to a screeching halt, the flip side has been that hotels, resorts, and tour companies have been offering deep discounts. The best place this has been consolidated has been on Travelzoo .

Travelzoo is essentially selling vouchers to places like the Maldives for really cheap and the best part about it is that they’re fully refundable. Make sure you read our latest piece on how Travelzoo works.

36: Victorinox VX Touring 2-in-1

This is another travel bag that I’ve fallen in love with but is a pretty incognito piece of luggage that was released by Victorinox not too long ago.

The VX Touring is a 2-in-1 where you it has backpack straps so you can carry it on your back but it can also act as a carry-on suitcase.

37: Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hand Sanitizer

This usually makes a great hand sanitizer for when you’re travelling but with the current state of travel, this becomes even more important to carry around with you, in the car, and at home.

For those that aren’t familiar with Dr. Bronner’s, they make some amazing organic and vegan products. The lavender scent is also quite gentle and pleasant.

38: World Maps with Pins

Speaking from experience, travel enthusiasts like to keep track of everywhere they’ve been or at least want to be able to see the world to be able to figure out where to go next.

In our article on the best world map with pins , you’ll find 7 different varieties in different styles that would make epic gifts.

39: Kammok Swiftlet

With so much time spent at home now, the key is to find new ways to relax and leverage things that you might already have. Kammok’s Swiftlet helps you do exactly that.

Swiftlet is a portable hammock stand that is currently the lightest in the market. You can set it up outdoors but you can also put it on our deck, balcony, or even inside the house.

A hammock stand isn’t complete with a hammock itself so while you’re at it, add a Kammok Roo Single . If you’re looking for to snuggle, I also recommend looking into trail quilts. We’ve reviewed extensively the Firebelly and Arctos .

40: Custom City Map Print

Continuing the “at home” theme, these beautiful prints of any city in the world are perfect pieces of art.

NordicCollection is an Etsy store that allows you to customize the size, location, and printed on fine art paper. All maps are made to order. Pair this print with a black frame and hang it in any part of the house.

41: Travel Airport Stickers

Stickers are a great way of reminiscing old travels and wanderlusting future trips. You can stick these vintage airport code luggage tags on the fridge, journal, laptop, scrapbook, photo albums, real luggage, and decorative ones.

This is a pack of 46 stickers with 23 unique airport codes that are approximately 3.5cm x 3 cm. They’re made in Canada and amazing quality.

42: Rosetta Stone

The gift of language may be the best of all. For those that can’t travel, learning a new language is one of the best ways to prepare for a future trip.

Through Rosetta Stone’s system of learning a new language from the ground up by focusing on practical uses, pick up the basics in no time. The best package to purchase as a gift is a 1 year membership .

If you’re curious about my own experiences with Rosetta Stone, see my review of Mandarin and Japanese .

43: Peak Design Capture

I always get comments and stares when I travel with my camera clinging to my backpack strap. Peak Design’s Capture clip is an indispensable tool for all photographers because it allows you to quickly mount the camera on your body securely without having to stuff it back into your backpack.

Capture is what allows you to have your camera as accessible as possible so you never miss a moment when you’re travelling.

44: Fujifilm Instax Mini 90

When it comes to gifts for travel lovers, retro is in and the Fujifilm Instax 90 is a fun little camera for any photographer. It’s great for when you travel but it’s also great for when you’re at home as well.

Over the years, I’ve made it a habit to bring this along with me as an alternative way to create collectable memories.

45: Peak Design Everyday Sling

For day trips, road trips whether local or internationally, having a good day bag is important but the question always is how do you balance the day bag with your larger backpack. Instead of having two backpacks, I’ve learned that travelling with a smaller sling that can be packed inside a larger backpack is the key. That’s where the Everyday Sling comes in.

This is Peak Design’s newest 6L sling bag that can carry an impressive amount of camera gear, iPad, documents, and water bottle. Whether you’re using this for big trips or small, this is the perfect photographer’s sling.

46: LensPen

If you’re thinking about finding a gift for a photographer that’s just starting off, they may not have this handy accessory that everyone needs – a Lenspen!

This 3 Lenspen set is what you need to clean your lens, viewfinder and filters from dust and dirt.

47: Backblaze

This may seem like a bit of an unusual gift but to a traveller and photographer, this is extremely useful. In digital, photos take up more and more hard drive space and thought of losing these files in a hard drive failure becomes more frightening.

Backblaze is an off-site backup strategy which uploads your most important files in case something ever did go wrong. Think iCloud but for unlimited storage of data. A one-year membership is an awesome gift.

48: BioLite HeadLamp 330 Lumen

There are a ton of things to like about this BioLite headlamp. It’s designed for comfort which is important, has multiple lighting modes, and can be recharged via micro USB instead of batteries.

The comfort part of this headlamp is due to the fact that it uses a 3D molded housing that sits as flat to your head as possible so it doesn’t bounce and slip like others do. The 330 lumen model also provides more light than the smaller 200.

49: Kammok Roo Single

For those in the market for a high quality hammock, Kammok is highly recommended. The Roo Single is for one person, is silky soft which we love, and is really easy to set up.

If you need more space, Kammok also has the Roo Double which fits – you guessed it – two people!

50: Kammok Firebelly Trail Quilt

Trail quilts are becoming a must-have piece of gear for outdoor enthusiasts because of how lightweight they are and how versatile they can be when in combination with a hammock, as a sleeping bag, or just as a quilt to keep you warm.

I have a full article showing why quilts will soon replace sleeping bags and Kammok Firebelly 30 review so make sure you take a look!

51: Stuff Sack Set

Also called ditty bags, this set of 5 is a useful set for any outdoor and travel enthusiast. Stuff sacks are a great way to stay organized and throw in anything from clean clothes, dirty clothes, food, and camping gear.

With a set like this, you also get ones that are all different colours so this makes it easy to identify what’s what when you pull it ouf your backpack or suitcase.

52: Osprey UltraLight Dry Sack

A traveller’s worth nightmare is getting things wet and so dry sacks like this one are helpful to have and they also double as a standard stuff sack.

This is made of 40D rip stop nylon and comes in 5 different colors. 6L is a good size to have but they also come in 1.5L, 3L, 12L, 20L, and 30L.

53: SteriPen UV Water Purifier

This is a nifty gadget to have especially if you’re going to a destination where clean water is a challenge. The way it works is that it uses UV light to destroy over 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. It is battery powered and is good for 50 treatments per charge.

Many people that use that have used it for trips to Africa with success and definitely makes a thoughtful gift. If you read the reviews, batteries seem to be a problem so it may be worth it to include a few CR123 batteries .

All e-commerce platforms including Amazon will allow you to send to a separate address from your billing address. Some will allow you to send it as a gift as well to make sure the invoice isn’t packaged with it.

It is always recommended to buy gifts early. My recommendation is to start looking before Black Friday comes around which gives you ample time to put your order in and receive the gift well before Christmas.

Create an Amazon wishlist right away and watch the prices as they constantly make micro adjustments to prices. Sometimes they’ll drop significantly and that is when you should jump on buying it. Also, look out for Amazon Warehouse items as they come at a significant discount for boxes being simply open but not used.

Another great idea is to gift travel experiences through something called Tinggly .

If you’re not a fan of Amazon, I recommend that you look up the brand’s website and purchase directly from them.

If you’re in the process of planning your trip and putting together your itinerary, these are genuinely the best resources that the Going Awesome Places team stands by 100% .

Credit cards: Don’t get burned by hidden fees on top of terrible exchange rates. When we travel now, we use the Wise Card . Simply load it with the currency you need before you go and use it as a regular VISA or their digital wallet card. Use their free app to track how much you have and top up when you need to.

Flights: Of all the booking search engines, Skyscanner is the most helpful and easy to use thanks to their Everywhere feature . Kayak is also another that’s we will often check as well.

Car Rental: If you’re looking to save money, these car rental coupon codes will be a true game-changer. Otherwise, DiscoverCars and RentalCars are great places to start.

Airport Parking: You’ll need a spot to leave your car at the airport so why not book a spot at a discount. Use code AWESOME7 to get at least $5 off at Airport Parking Reservations or Park Sleep Fly packages.

Data: We’ve been a huge fan of wifi hotspot devices like PokeFi because their rates are so good and you can use it globally but recently, we’ve really loved using eSIMs. The best one is Airalo . Save money by getting region-specific eSIMs and use referral code WILLIA9500 to get $3 USD credit on your first purchase. Ubigi is another one that we’ve had success with where they uniquely offer 5G coverage. Use code AWESOME10 to save 10% on your first order.

Hotels: Our go-to is Booking.com because they have the best inventory of properties including hotels and B&Bs plus they have their Genius tier discounts . The exception is Asia where Agoda always has the best prices. TripAdvisor is also useful for reviews and bookings.

Vacation Rentals: Your first instinct will be to check Airbnb but we always recommend checking VRBO as well if you’re looking for a vacation rental.

Tours: When planning our trips, we always check both Viator and GetYourGuide to at least see what’s out there in the destination that we’re going to. They often have different offerings and prices so check both.

Interpol, ante 160.000 personas en el Zócalo: “México es nuestro segundo hogar. I love you”

Con la ausencia del baterista sam fogarino, la banda neoyorquina interpretó canciones como ‘c’mere’, ‘evil’, ‘rest my chemistry’ y ‘obstacle 1′.

“Muchas gracias a la Ciudad de México por dejarnos tocar en este lugar tan histórico. Gracias por hacer una memoria increíble para nosotros”, dijo en un perfecto español el líder y vocalista de Interpol, Paul Banks , ante 160.000 personas en el Zócalo de Ciudad de México.

Pese a la ausencia del baterista Sam Fogarino, que se recupera de una operación en la columna y quien ha sido remplazado temporalmente por Chris Broome, la banda neoyorquina deleitó al público mexicano con un concierto que arrancó con los acordes de C’mere , un éxito que fue ovacionado por todos los asistentes que llegaron desde varios rincones del país.

Tal es el caso de Abimael Juárez, quien junto a su familia hicieron un viaje de seis horas desde Querétaro para escuchar al trío estadounidense que, reconoce, sigue desde hace “poquito” porque es más de metal, pero que le ha gustado por influencia de su hija: “Vinimos a escuchar la de Evil , es la que más nos llega”.

El escenario se vistió de luces rojas y ráfagas blancas para ser testigo de una especie de diálogo entre la banda de rock alternativo y el auditorio mexicano: Rosemary / Heaven restores you in life , cantaba Banks; You’re coming with me , coreaba el Zócalo; Through the aging, the fearing, the strife , contestaba el vocalista.

“Gracias, ya llevamos 20 años viniendo a México y siempre ha sido nuestro corazón, nuestro segundo hogar. Gracias por venir y apoyarnos todos estos años. I love you!”, gritó emocionado el artista neoyorquino, despertando los aplausos de la gran plaza pública capialina.

“Nuestra visión de la música es hallar química en un escenario. Interpol es una cuestión de química”, contaba el guitarrista y fundador de la banda Daniel Kessler a EL PAÍS en 2017 . Una química que se hizo visible en la capital cuando el propio Kessler hizo que los presentes se rindieran ante su guitarra tras interpretar la nostálgica All the rage back home o la introspectiva Rest my chemistry .

Esta última, una de las canciones más esperadas por fanáticos como Areli, Gabriela, Sebastián y Héctor, que “se aferraron” durante tres horas a su lugar privilegiado junto a las vallas de seguridad y que sortearon una asustadiza lluvia con ligeros impermeables: “Todo el ambiente es histórico, es gratificante escucharlos aquí. Si llueve o tiembla, estamos aquí”.

Con ovaciones ensordecedoras, palmas chocando en cada melodía, un grito aislado de “¡Te amo, pinche Paul Banks!” y una postal que proyectaban las linternas de los celulares iluminando la plancha del Zócalo, transcurrieron 100 minutos que rememoraron el post punk al ritmo de Say hello to the angels , Narc , My Desire , Obstacle 1 y The Rover .

“Estamos hablando de un primer nivel de música, de cultura”, afirma Gladys Cortés, una “rockera de corazón” y aficionada a Interpol desde hace 15 años. Agradece que la banda neoyorquina respete las tradiciones mexicanas, “porque ha sido muy atacada nuestra cultura en Mazatlán ( por la polémica de retirar a las bandas sinaloenses de las playas ) o cuando vinieron al Zócalo unos gringos y no les pareció el organillero. O sea, ¿qué pasa? Son nuestras raíces, es nuestra cultura”.

Previo a la presentación estelar, el grupo indie pop Water From Your Eyes abrió el espectáculo con canciones como Barley , 14 , True Life y Adeleine , mientras el Mariachi Fiesta Mexicana sorprendió a los asistentes con una interpretación de Evil para después cerrar con El rey .

La banda que nació como una idea en la Universidad de Nueva York , donde estudiaba Kessler, y que se consolidó como un grupo en los bares y salas de Manhattan y Brooklyn, ha hecho suyo el territorio mexicano en el Zócalo en un concierto organizado por la Secretaría de Cultura de la Ciudad de México y sumándose a artistas y grupos nacionales e internacionales como Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Rosalía, Grupo Firme, Julieta Venegas y Silvio Rodríguez, que también han tocado en el mismo escenario.

Enmarcados por la Catedral Metropolitana, Interpol se despidió del público mexicano con Untitled, No In Threesome y Stella was a driver and she was always down , cerrando así una presentación llena de energía, sin errores, con una selección de canciones pensada para complacer al público y con la potente voz de Paul Banks en un Zócalo vibrante.
