3 years of solo travel through Latin America taught me what actually matters in a bag. These are my real, tried and tested must haves for travelling the world on your own as a woman. Travelling solo through Latin America as a woman means you learn pretty quickly what makes you feel secure and what just adds unnecessary stress. From navigating busy markets in Colombia to taking overnight buses through Peru, I've been in enough situations to know that the right gear genuinely changes your experience. These aren't just products I've seen recommended online, they're things I've personally relied on when I was the only person looking out for myself. Comfort matters just as much as safety, especially when you're spending long stretches of time in hostels, on buses or in places where you can't always predict what you're walking into. The small things add up fast, whether that's finally getting a decent night of sleep in a noisy dorm or not having to stress about your bag in a crowded street. Solo travel as a woman is one of the most rewarding things you can do and having the right tools with you just means you can focus on the experience instead of the anxiety around it.

Whether you're going on a plane, a road trip, traveling with kids or solo, these are all my favorites for traveling parents, and I don't know what I would do without at this point!

Here are my go-to packing essentials and travel must-haves! For luggage, I swear by my Calpak set—the carry-on is spacious, durable, and fits perfectly within airline size limits.

I always pack an AirTag in my luggage, even when traveling carry-on, just in case bags get checked unexpectedly. For organizing my makeup and skincare, I use a clear travel case that holds a ton and makes it easy to see everything at a glance. These essentials kept me organized and stress-free, especially during my multi-flight trip across Europe!✈️🧳

Juneteeth is approaching and if you are looking for some things to do in either Northern or Southern Nevada than this list will be for you. This is a very small list which is a bit of a bummer but I can only hope that in continuous years there will be more events being held to celebrate this very special holiday. Anyways, some of these events are happening on different days so please make sure to look at the date before getting your tickets. Also there are some events that cater to the whole family while others prefer to only have adults so please take that into consideration as well. This is a perfect opportunity to learn about Juneteenth and celebrate the victories that came from it. Happy Juneteenth guys !

A rolling suitcase is the wrong bag for a safari, because small bush planes typically cap luggage around 15 kg (about 33 lb) and ask for soft, squashable bags instead of hard shells or wheels. This list builds the whole kit around that limit: soft duffels, khaki and olive layers that blend into the bush instead of dark blue or black, dust-proof pouches, and easy carry for binoculars and a camera. Always confirm the exact weight and bag rules with your safari operator before you pack.
