The A(my) List
“With age, comes wisdom.” Or at least, a lot of opportunities for travel mistakes. A quick tally shows I’ve traveled for pleasure over 310 days on 26 trips. That’s a lot of packing, unpacking, and reconsidering what I’ve packed. With all this practice, I’m sharing my honest opinions on must have travel accessories and trip experiences I have tried and recommend.
As always, I encourage you to use what you already own before buying new.
