So after a recent rant about packing cubes on instagram, I got dozens and dozens of messages about how I travel- my gear, my essentials, packing tips and more!! So I thought- why not compile it in one place for you AND link you to all my favourite swag?
Done.
If you’re new to getting to know me- hi I’m Lauren. I am an international yoga teacher, yoga school owner, free-spirit, social media influencer and I love to be bare foot. I travel A LOT. I’m learning to travel more intelligently every trip! These days I’m challenging myself to travel only in carry-on. Recently I had to lug so much stuff to Central America and I just got tired of having to look after everything, make sure it was all in the giant suitcase and carry the giant suitcase. So I’ve downsized and my travels feel easier and fuller!
Okay so below I’m showing you ALL of my favourite gear. I LOVE putting everything in its own place. This makes me feel organized and calm on the road. I love pouches. I tend to categorize and stick everything in individual sacks.
Sharing all this feels really personal and kind of secretive. You might notice that some of the things I love carry a higher price tag. This is because I believe in QUALITY.
I would rather spend more and buy something once than replace my stuff over and over again. As I said, I am on the road a lot. There is a TON of wear and tear on my things and I don’t like to be careful. All of my backpacks and luggage come with warrantees and are guaranteed for life. YES. GUARANTEED FOR LIFE. I’ve tried getting cheaper stuff in the past and what I’ve found is that it falls apart and I end up spending more on replacing it often. Now I buy good shit once in a while.
You can click any of the images below and it will link you to purchase 🙂
PeakDesign Every day Backpack (I take this EVERYWHERE) It’s a camera bag with separate laptop carry, built in theft proofing and an amazing organizational system!
The best carry on EVER. Biggest one I can find.
Waterproof, large and durable! Did I mention guaranteed for life?!
Packing cubes!! These keep me SANE and organized on the road. For real. To pack: throw them in the bag. To unpack: Take em out. Done.
Moleskine Classic. THE notebook I can’t live without. I use the bullet-journal method to organize my life. My moleskin has EVERYTHING in it. Calendar, schedule, ideas, hopes, dreams, notes, journal entries….
Separate Laundry pouch. Don’t mix the dirty stuff in the packing cubes. AND if you’re traveling in carryon, don’t leave your dirties floating around your bag. If you get searched at customs, it’s embarrassing.
The Lululemon Vinyasa Scarf- I love it because It snaps together and apart. I take it everywhere. It soft, can be worn as an infinity scarf but also can be opened into a blanket.
Jabra wireless bluetooth headphones- I recently got these. They cancel the noise out so well that I almost missed boarding a plane. They double as earplugs and I love being hands free and wireless when running through an airport but still wanting to chat on the phone with loved ones. I can keep my phone safely in my bag while chatting or listening to audiobooks.
THIS portable speaker. I use it for yoga classes and at the beach or hanging out with friends. The sound quality is great.
I’ve literally never shared this before- the camera gear and tools I use. I take 90% of all my photos myself using an interval timer and a tripod. I edit everything in Lightroom before posting. Remember, what you see on my social media feeds and blog are well planned, curated and executed. I love photography, it’s one of my favourite hobbies. I just upgraded to mirrorless and plan to invest in a few more lenses soon!
My favourite camera ever. Fujifilm Xt30 this is what I use to shoot all of my instagram photos/videos
35mm f1.4 lens. Most of my photos are shot with this one.
18-55mm lens. This one is super versatile! Great for wide-angle and portraits.
travel Tripod. this is how I take all those naked photos…
