Slow Travel Resources & Travel Essentials

Here we recommend the slow travel resources and travel gear that we use and believe in. We’re currently working on writing in-depth reviews so you can decide whether they are right for you too!

At no extra cost to you, we earn a small commission from each purchase that allows us to keep content up to date, create new guides, and maintain this website. We use all the resources and travel essentials listed here and recommend them because we believe in them.

Our Luggage

As a full-time traveling family we can’t afford to be carrying too much luggage! That is why everything we own fits into two carry-on bags and four rucksacks and they meet the all the size restrictions for budget airlines. We fit a lot into our compact bags thanks to these sturdy compression packing cubes from ECOHUB.

Travel Essentials

Over time it’s become clear that some items we travel with get a lot more use than others – these are our travel essentials (the little things that have earned their space on our packing list!).

Long Term Family Travel Insurance

We’ve had SafetyWing Nomad Travel Insurance since setting off on our travels in early 2024. As both children are under the age of 10 years, we were able to add them to our policy free of charge making it a great family travel insurance option for us.
