The Essentials Edit
Over the years of traveling—sometimes solo, sometimes with Max, and now on the road with Ashley—I’ve learned what truly earns its place in my bag. Below is a living list of gear that has stayed with me through countless miles. Some links are affiliates, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only share what I personally trust.
-
Road Trips
The gear that makes long drives smoother and organizing Ashley less of a puzzle. From storage solutions to camp comforts, these are the things I reach for on the road.
-
Dog Travel Gear
Traveling with Max means finding lightweight, packable, and durable gear that keeps him safe and comfortable—whether we’re on a hike, a long drive, or just wandering through town..
-
Flight + Carry-On
For the trips that take me beyond the road, I keep things light. These are the items I won’t board a plane without—comfort, organization, and a few things that help me feel at home even thousands of miles away.
-
Gadgets + Gizmos
Capturing stories means bringing the right tools. These are my go-to devices for documenting the journey—without weighing myself down.
-
Self-Care + Skincare
Travel isn’t always glamorous—sometimes it’s long drives, dry airplane air, or nights in less-than-cozy hotel rooms. Skincare and self-care are how I reset. These are my rituals, products, and little luxuries must haves.
