Sometimes, when travelling, you just might find yourself invited somewhere where you want to look at bit more put together.Explore

Do you wear your heart on your sleeve when you travel? So why not put it on your backpack, too? Travellers used to wear flags on their rucksacks, sometimes also sporting sewn-on patches collected from around the world. Now everyone totes smartphones and looks the same.Explore

I just love flipping through my passport to remind me of all the adventures I’ve had…so far. I’ve often thought of mounting a map on the wall and finding the perfect pushpins to mark my travels. Blue for been there done that; Green for not yet must go.Explore

I really enjoy packing. It’s the first sign of a new adventure awaiting me. I also light small, hearty containers that allow me to take everything I want from beauty creams to perfumes to insect repellents…that are durable, lightweight and indestructible.Explore

These colorful transparent pouches are sturdy, durable and organize smaller travel items like no other pouch I have found. Travelers can use them for corralling just about anything including first aid items, pencils and pens, hair accessories. I use a medium size and a large size for jewellery when I travel. It keeps it all in one spot – earrings and rings in the medium and the larger holds bracelets, necklaces and watches. I know other travelers who swear by using zip lock bags for organizing cosmetics , but these pouches are long lasting and never leak. With the durable plastic, it would be difficult to damage the exterior. The transparent window all the way around makes it easy to find what you are looking for. The interior is wipe-able and the material is specially treated with water-repellant finish.Explore
