Travel Product ReviewsTwo and a half years ago, after coming across the Halfday Garment Duffle on Instagram, I ended up ordering one and giving it a shot. Since then, Halfday has continued to expand its brand, not only making updates to that original duffle but also debuting new bags and styles. Among them is the Roamer Backpack,...
Travel Product ReviewsThere's a certain danger in establishing myself as someone who reviews products. Despite also being a personal finance writer, I can't tell you how many times I've seen ads for items on Instagram and thought "I should buy that to review." In some cases, I can shake off this feeling after a few days —...
Travel Product ReviewsWhen you think about packing your suitcase for a trip, what are the top items that come to mind? While toiletries, chargers, and wardrobe essentials are all likely candidates, I'd argue that shoes actually play an underrealized role in travel. After all, if you're like us, you probably do a lot of walking on a...
Travel Product ReviewsAs a semi-frequent traveler who looks to pack pretty light, I’m used to taking only one pair of shoes with me on any given trip. Thus, whatever shoes I’m taking with me need to not only be comfortable but also adapt to different situations — including the possibility of damp weather. That’s what attracted me...
Travel Product ReviewsIn 2023, I shared how I had contributed to a Kickstarter campaign for a new travel product. Well, soon after that, the item arrived at my door: the Sleeper Hold travel pillow. As luck would have it, soon after the pillow's arrival, I ended up taking a trip to Hong Kong that also happened to...
Travel Product ReviewsLast year, seasoned traveler turned travel writer and expert Lisa Niver released her new book Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents, and Feeling Fearless After Fifty. As a follower of Niver on Twitter, I'd seen mention of her book several times in recent months, with the orange/red hues and pink heart airplane artwork often popping up...
Travel Product ReviewsHave you ever been served ads for a product on Instagram so often that you eventually break down and buy it? As a personal finance blogger, this is not a practice I can endorse. However, as someone who reviews products, I have much more tolerance for allowing myself to give in (#content). That's what happened...
Travel Product ReviewsAs someone who regularly “workations” and relies on a solid Internet connection to be productive while traveling, it’s kind of crazy that I went without a WiFi hotspot for so long. That’s mostly because I had never come across a particular device that jumped out at me. Well, that was until my first CES when...
Travel Product ReviewsAs someone who not only travels with some frequency but also enjoys reviewing products, I'm always on the lookout for interesting travel accessories and the like. That's why I was excited when I found the clever Halfday garment duffle a few months ago. Well, after seeing that review, the people at Moderne Gentleman reached out...
Travel Product ReviewsMore than a decade ago, Chris Broad moved to Japan and started his cleverly named YouTube channel Abroad in Japan. Now, Broad has penned a new book of the same name that chronicles his time in the Land of the Rising Sun. As a fan of Broad's videos, I was excited to discover that he'd...
Travel Product ReviewsWhen I was in New York last year, it was the first time in a long time that I remember being in a taxi (as opposed to a rideshare like Uber or Lyft). During that ride, I saw an advertisement for an app called Arro, which I then used to hail a cab later in...
Travel Product ReviewsOver the past few years, you may have noticed the service CLEAR growing in prominence. Between its recent partnerships with American Express, its Health Pass being employed by several entities during the pandemic, CLEAR kiosks arriving at more locations, and the company going public, CLEAR is kind of having a moment. So, what exactly is...
