AmazonBasics Packing Travel Organization Cubes

 

If you are looking for some basic, easy-to-get packing cubes then consider ordering yourself a set from Amazon’s own line; AmazonBasics. They have created a few different sets to accommodate your needs and they all come in a nice variety of colors. 

There are not too many bells and whistles with these but do come with a mesh panel on the front of each cube to easily see what you have stored inside. One of the best things about these is the fact that you can throw them in the washing machine and they won’t deteriorate despite them being so affordable.

Looking for the best value for your money? The Shacke Pak packing cubes are incredibly affordable and you get a total of 5 pieces! The bags themselves are made out of a thick and sturdy material and they reach a depth of about 4 inches; which is about an inch more space than the average packing cubes. They also feature an “X” design on the front with mesh panels designed to help hold your belongings in and also allow you to see what is inside.

Raise your hand if you are using a plastic bag from the convenient store to separate all your dirty clothes from your clean ones! Most Shacke Pak sets come with a matching laundry bag which is perfect to help keep your dirty garments and their smells separated from the rest of your bag.

Peak Design Packing Cubes 

 

Ok, you might be thinking, “ONE expensive packing cube?!” I get it, Peak Design products are quite pricey. However, if you are looking for a compression packing cube to last you a while then you might want to consider splurging for one of these. Among the many features of the packing cubes that are similar to the other options on this list, Peak Design claims that these are made of self-healing fabric. This means that if you have anything sharp in your bags such as tweezer or pens, your cubes are not at risk to be destroyed if they get punctured. 

The Peak Design Packing Cubes also have a built-in barrier so that you can keep you clean and dirty items separated within one bag.

BEFORE YOU GO

 

☑ Book your flight: If your flight isn’t booked yet – check out the flights on Skyscanner or via Google Flights. My top saving tip is flexibility. If you’re flexible, you should be able to find a cheaper flight.

☑ Book your accommodation: I always use Airbnb and Booking.com. If you’d rather stay in a hostel, you should take a look at the options on Hostelworld. If you click on the Airbnb link and you don’t have an account yet – you’ll get a $30 discount on your first booking.

☑ Protect your cute face: Oh, you may want to protect your cute face with a travel medical insurance. I would suggest SafetyWing as they offer the best rates, especially for long-term travelers. Otherwise, you can also take a look at World Nomads.

☑ Pack the essentials: You can consult this list when it’s time to pack your bag! Do not leave without a universal charger, a power bank and your passport!

☑  Do you need a visa? If you aren’t sure if you need a visa, it would be a smart idea to take a quick look before you go. You can use iVisa – it’s super useful and easy to use.

30 Things No One Tells You About Backpacking in South America

Image
During our year-long honeymoon, we spent 5 incredible months backpacking in South America. We swam in the Caribbean at Tayrona National Park in Colombia; we swam with playful baby seals in the Galapagos Islands; we hiked ( ok, crawled on our hands and knees ) on The Quilotoa Loop in the Andes in Ecuador; we crossed the La Balsa border into Peru in a chicken truck, we attempted ( and failed ) to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru; we made friends with alpacas at a winery in Valparaiso, Chile; we drank our collective weight in wine in Mendoza, Argentina. Although each of the countries we visited – Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Argentina – was as unique and different from one another as can be, we did notice a few universal truths about backpacking in South America… things nobody told us about before we left. In no particular order and in various degrees of usefulness, we’ve compiled our observations into this list of 30 things no o...

The 6 Best Viewpoints in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland (and How to Find Them!)

Image
Having just returned from a short stay in the stunning Swiss town of Lauterbrunnen, I’m a bit of a drooly, overwhelmed mess. After all, with a head full of dreams carefully planted from years of pining over Lauterbrunnen on Instagram and Pinterest, my expectations were so high I could practically vomit from excitement. The issue? Many of the photos circulating online are actually snapped from drones, which means they’re not real views you can access without spontaneously sprouting wings. So, if you’re like me and have failed at sprouting said wings, I’ve done some groundwork for you! Here are some of my favourite viewpoints and Lauterbrunnen photo spots that I discovered, along with instructions on how to reach them. Best of all? Most of them are very easy to reach, with minimal hiking required (unless you’re craving the workout, in which case I have some options for you). I apologize that these viewpoints don’t have officia...

15 Best Things to Do in Lagos

Looking for things to do in Lagos ? Below you will find the 15 best tourist attractions, a suggested itinerary and many tips 😉 Lagos, an ancient marine town, is one of the most visited cities in the Algarve due to its renowned beaches, incredible rock formations, great variety of hotels, bars, restaurants and spirited summer nightlife. The city has also a very rich history that stretches back more than 2000 years. It was occupied by the Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, Byzantines and Moors, who in the 8 th century fortified and walled the city and built a medieval castle that can still be seen today. After the Christian Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula in 1189, Lagos played an important role in Portuguese discoveries due to its strategic harbor position. Under the expansionist project of King Sebastian, Lagos became a city, and the capital of the Kingdom of the Algarve, in 1573. Nowadays there are no queens or kings in town, but instead thousands of tourists who c...
