Okay, stress free travel is a big promise to make and something we really can’t guarantee. Trains, planes, automobiles - they all go wrong, from time-to-time; but, with a little thought given to what you take with you, travelling can be a bit more carefree - honest!
When your journey is over an hour, you’ll need more entertainment than just an iphone. It’s essential to have something to read or listen to. I like the look of these H2 headphones from Bang & Olufsen, found on the Brotique’s website, and as a new contributor to The Holborn (quick plug there), we've just got the latest issue.
A bag is another essential. Relying on a carry bag from either World Duty Free or Boots is a recipe for disaster. I’ve been hankering after a Manaslu bag from Takuro for a while and, I think, it’s big enough to hold this neat washbag from Chapman, as well as a rolled up Sastruga jacket from Finisterre. To keep unwanted weight down Ockham have used 3D printing to create this super lightweight travel razor. It’s also important to make sure your travel documents, money, and cash cards are safe. For that, the Bellroy passport sleeve just can’t be beaten. Plus it comes with a pen! Holdall + Co's leather lanyard makes the perfect partner for keeping your keys on hand.
Finally, socks. You might think it’s a bit crazy, but comfortable feet are crucial on a long journey - they are for me, anyway. These two from M.P Crafted Garments + Barbour will do the trick.

Awesome :D This is making me want to travel just so that I can pack my bags.

ReplyDeleteThose headphones are on the Christmas list!
ReplyDeleteThose guys do flipping good work. Check them out!
ReplyDeleteSame here :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it man. The passport sleeve is so good, I own two (as one went a funny colour after I left it on top of a radiator). The Holborn is great - and some content should be in their next issue from yours truly!
ReplyDeletethe 3D printed razor is nuts, still hard to get m head around.
ReplyDeleteYep, that was Nik's doing with The Holborn, I'm yet to read it. Cheers for stopping by, James.
ReplyDeleteRoll up the jacket and get going, no? Us too.
ReplyDeleteFabulous tips!! I love my travelling... I've already got a string of places to visit lined up for next year, including the big adventure back home to Malaysia and Singapore as well as hopping over to NZ. However, the stress is sort of part of the fun... as long as it's not insufferable and derails the whole plan. :/

Wow that sounds like a fantastic trip, ending in NZ? That will be a lot of fun. Gotta try and pack light for that.
