Travel Must Haves

In the 24 years of my life so far I have not traveled all the places yet but I have traveled. My parents, when I was growing up decided to put more money towards family vacation than things. This was a great gift to me and my two older sisters because it has given us a bank of family memories from Disneyland parks to New York streets to the Hawaiian islands. 

This all resulted in my deep love and appreciation for traveling. I made a goal last year to travel to a new place each year. Last year the new passport stamp was from Panama. 

Between my picky personality and traveling so much I have a pretty good idea what I need when I travel. Here is the TOP 5 LIST of my Travel Must Haves in order:

1. Working phone: This may seem shallow, but my phone is the gateway to my music, podcast, camera, and Facetime. All of these become extreme important to me in  flights exceeding 5 hours).
2. Dark chocolate from Trader Joes: Obviously because it is the best!
3. Aeropress Coffee Maker: This wonderfully lite weight single expresso maker is gold, pure gold.
4. Art Journal: I love to draw, but being the introvert and Enneagram 4 that I am I crave a safe place to process my thoughts and feelings in a creative way
5. Baby Groot: My 6" plush baby Groot buddy travels with me and provides the best entertainment.

There you have it, all my must have travel items. 

I hope where ever you travel today, you have fun, are safe, and get to eat chocolate.
