2023 has been another great year. I’m grateful for so many things and so many people. I had to privilege of going on a few trips this year. Throughout these trips, I’ve acquired some things that I continue to use again and again.

Here I’ll be sharing some of my favorite travel items of 2023.

PrAna jacket: I bought this jacket on a whim. I wanted something that will stand out so I opt for this red jacket. I LOVE this shade of red. It’s not super heavy. It’s also not thick. It’s a jacket that’s great for everyday or if conditions are just slightly down. I found that while it’s thin, it’s great for layering and it’s weather resistant. I wore it in Taiwan with the wind, light rain, and sunshine, and it was great. Here’s another PrAna jacket that’s similar (different color).

Vessi sneakers: I love the casual look on these white sneakers. And especially that they’re waterproof. They kept my feet dry whenever I wear them. I’ve worn them in the rain and they’re great!

Packing Cubes: I shared about my packing cubes and compression packs, watch here. I love using them. They make packing and unpacking so easy and convenient. If you’re not using them, highly recommend trying! Click here for packing cubes. Click here for compression packs.

Travel Backpack: I’ve used this travel backpack for a couple years now and I still enjoy using it. I love all the pockets. I love how much it can store. I also like that it opens up like a suitcase which makes packing super easy. Watch my review of it here.

Camera Bag: I love this camera bag. I like the design of the bag, it’s minimalist and chic. The interior of this bag also has cushion to protect the camera and any lens. I also like all the extra pockets. Love this bag! Watch my review here.

Rhino Shield Water bottle: I love this water bottle. It really does work! I used it on my solo trip to Boston, and it’s amazing. If you’re a solo traveler, or just someone who don’t want to haul a tripod with you, check out this water bottle. Use it as a water bottle, use it as a camera stand!

Flipstik: You may have seen these around, but I decided to get a flipstik, and it’s pretty amazing. I’ve used it a few times and it works! I love how it holds my phone. It’s easy to clean. It’s easy to use. If you’re looking for an easy way to hold your phone up, check out flipstik!

Go Pure pod: I started using this for my water bottles that don’t have a filter system. It works great. I love that it’s easy to use and easy to clean. (I wouldn’t using this as the only filter system if you’re through-hiking or backpacking.) But after you’ve done your thorough water filtering from your trail water source, on a day to day, or city adventures, it’s a great addition. I drop this into my water bottle whenever I travel. It has gone through TSA just fine.

Those are my 8 Travel-related favorites of 2023. I enjoyed using each of these items. I continue to use them. I’m glad I found them for my different travel needs!
