I either <em><strong>own it<\/strong><\/em> (and love it), <em><strong>have owned it<\/strong><\/em> (and loved it so much that I&#8217;ve destroyed it and want more), or I <em><strong>want to own it<\/strong><\/em> (and hence have been researching the crap out of it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So without further ado, please use this random list as a guide, and enjoy shopping for the traveler in your life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post was originally published in 2009.

The money (and plastic) we saved was incredible. It has more than paid itself off; every time we use it from here on in is gravy \u2013 for our pocketbooks, and for the world (which is already drowning in plastic garbage).<br \/><br \/><em>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/dealing-parasites-guide-clean-water-around-world\/\">How to Get Clean Water Around the World<\/a><\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Travel Journal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/best-travel-gear-travel-journal\/\">sung the praises of the Travel Journal<\/a> in the past, as an awesome piece of travel gear. I may be old fashioned, but there\u2019s something about the plain old pen &amp; paper that brings out creativity. Without my journal at my side, I could not have written the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/victorian-bush-fire-diary-february-7th-day-one\/\">Victorian Bushfire diary<\/a>, which was archived by the National Library of Australia as a little piece of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be as ambitious with your travel journal! Just have fun, and see where it takes you.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Waterproof Bags<\/strong> (Dry Bags)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you get lightweight ones, these <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bpGxBF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" aria-label=\"waterproof Dry Bags (opens in a new tab)\">waterproof Dry Bags<\/a> are great for separating items in your pack. (I like to organize this way, so I don\u2019t have to sift through loose belongings to get to what I need). They take up almost no room, and add additional levels of protection against toiletry leakage or pervasive humidity. We especially like them for our electronics when we are in tropical climates.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Headlamp<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely invaluable to us throughout all kinds of travel have been our <a aria-label=\"Headlamps (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3dCvt5s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Headlamps<\/a>. They\u2019re compact and light, and so useful in so many ways. I use mine almost every day, and it never leaves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/my-purse-was-stolen-lessons-learned\/\">my purse<\/a>.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Travel Towel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Where, oh where would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/what-makes-you-a-traveler\/\">a traveler<\/a>\/camper\/outdoorsy person be without a <a aria-label=\"Travel Towel (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2AeCSJP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Travel Towel<\/a>? They\u2019re perfect: they are lightweight, they come in different sizes of super-small, they absorb way more than you would ever expect them to, then dry way faster than they should considering how much water they just absorbed. In short \u2013 they\u2019re magic!<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Really Flat (Folding) Bowls, Plates, Cups<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I was introduced to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0024E00JQ\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=www.theprofessionalhobo.com-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0024E00JQ&amp;linkId=e354f4e96f0afbf3049dd66a56127ad3&amp;tag=www.theprofessionalhobo.com-20\" target=\"_blank\">folding plates, bowls, and cups<\/a>&nbsp;while camping in Canada, and we brought these nifty folding plates and bowls around the world with us. They are incredibly lightweight and flat, and can tolerate both hot and cold foods. The cups in particular are quite the feat of impossible-ness \u2013 I mean seriously: a folding origami cup? That works? (Yes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they\u2019re not entirely practical along the backpacker trail (where most hostels provide full kitchens with dishes), they come in quite handy while camping, and have indeed proved to be invaluable to us a few times whilst traveling too (ie: while eating street food in Asia and trying to avoid the use of disposable plates).<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things I Have Owned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>(and Want Again, or Want More of)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Passport Wallet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001CZMVHC?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=www.theprofessionalhobo.com-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001CZMVHC&amp;tag=www.theprofessionalhobo.com-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"335\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/passport-neck-wallet.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12998\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I have a <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2WonVxr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" aria-label=\"Passport Holder (opens in a new tab)\">Passport Holder<\/a> and love it, but it\u2019s a touch bulky, and it has no neck strap for ease of use in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/financial-travel-tip-84-being-a-first-class-flyer\/\">airports<\/a>.
