The last (almost) 4 years, we have tested out a lot of travel items! In this video we're going to share with you 5 travel items we discovered were a waste of space, and 5 travel items we cannot live without. If you're planning a trip in 2025 and want to know what to pack, or you are looking for awesome gift ideas for a travellover, this video will be really helpful. When we were packing for fulltime travel, we consumed so many videos on the best things to pack for travel and travel essentials that we should get before leaving Canada, and some of the things we thought were "must haves" have turned out to be not essential at all. In fact, some of the items we thought would be travel essentials ended up being things we ditched along the way, and other items on this list were things we didn't leave Canada with, and quickly discovered life on the road would be so much easier with them!

Here are links to the items for easy reference:

Packing for travel can be hard, but once you figure out what travel gear makes your life easier when your going to a new place, packing becomes a less daunting task. As fulltime travelers, we actually love packing for a trip and love testing out products to see what will make the cut to stay in our backpacks as we hop from country to country and explore the world. We've ben surprised to see some travel gear stay in our backpacks since day 1, while others have been replaced with updated gear or replaced with the exact same item! When we began traveling in 2021, we traveled with carryon only, and although our style of travel has drastically changed this past year, we still love many of the same items (and have added a ridiculous item as well!

If you choose to purchase one of these travel items, we sincerely hope you love them as must as we do! Each of these items makes our lives easier, and we hope the same goes for you :)

======================

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on YouTube, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
