Luriesal No Show Socks for Women —These colorful striped socks are perfect to store lenses in for travel, they take up almost no room and the variety of colors helps to keep things organized. Brought to me by Elaine Belvin on my recent Camargue trip. Thanks Elaine, I ordered them as soon as I got home. They replaced the thick, clunky beanie hats I used for years. They are a great space saver. I took out all dividers in my Think Tank Bag. Men can order the all black ones (if they don’t like the stripes <wink> ) like Elaine’s husband Bill did. I ordered mine on Amazon.
WACACO Minipresso GR, Portable Espresso Machine, Compatible Ground Coffee, Hand Coffee Maker. It basically works as a coffee press but it is not glass and can therefore be packed easily into your checked bag. Just add hot water and coffee grinds. It’s a little pricey at $54.99 but I have not found a glass mini press under $29.00. And since I already broke 2 of the glass versions—maybe this isn’t so pricey. I got mine on Amazon. Oh and btw, no batteries needed.
As many of you know, I like to share some of my finds or shared items by participants on trips. Here are my current new faves.
Brought to me by UK Puffin trip participant Kathleen McMullen. Kathy insisted I take her pack and try them out—thanks Kathleen, I love them and they travel so well. I never have to worry about any leakage from the liquid packs I use to take.
Sea to Summit Trek & Travel Pocket Laundry Wash Packets-they come in a 50 leaves mini plastic package that can travel easily. The package itself is approximately 3 inches tall. Found on REI.
I’ve shared this before but it’s woth mentioning again. This little fan is rechargeable and packs a punch. I travel with it to Africa, Vietnam and anywhere else that it is hot and use it as I work on images at my desk.
VersionTECH. Mini Handheld Fan, USB Desk Fan, Small Personal Portable Table Fan with USB Rechargeable Battery. I bought mine on Amazon but check out reviews as there are a lot of them. Try to get one with rechargeable lithium batteries, I like having a usb plug too.
I’m interested in hearing from anyone who has used the Apple Air Tags for their luggage/ gear. Please respond in the comment section so that everyone can benefit from your thoughts. Thanks.
Maxpedition-Zipper Pulls, I heard of these from Glen and Cheryl Kuhl on my recent Namibia trip. After the trip, they kindly sent me a package of these zipper pulls, plus some yummy home made jams! Anyway, they replace the small hard to find zipper pulls on some gear bags, jacket, etc…Package of (6) $10.99usd.
