5 Travel Accessories for Men - Travel Lovers

How's it going, everyone? My name is Arun and I’ve spent the last 10 years being a full-time traveler. Now, I've lived out of small drawers. I’ve lived out of hotels. I’ve lived out of a tiny home. I’ve lived out of suitcases. So, I know how to travel light. But I also know the most important things I need to bring. I thought I would make a blog on travel accessories for men that every guy who's a traveler should bring on their trip.

Now, these items don’t include basics like deodorant or a toothbrush or toothpaste or a passport or money or debit card. Those things you just, have to bring when you travel. But these are travel accessories for men that I don't travel without. No one is paying me to say any of this. This is just coming from my own experience and things that I enjoy.

1. WH-1000XM2 Headphone

They fold up really small so that they fit in this little travel case. They’re incredible noise-canceling headphones. When I put them on, on a flight and I activate the noise-canceling realize just how noisy a plane is. Oh my god, the engine sounds and people snoring. And people coughing and so much going on. Like, you just hit a button and zone completely out. I love these because they can be plugged into the entertainment unit of the airplane. They actually come with a little adapter so that you can plug it into the double prong, you know, adapter of the airplane. But they are Bluetooth. So, these are amazing. I never travel without these men travel accessories.

2. A Daypack

Daypacks are very important especially if you're a guy and you wanna carry your headphones, you wanna carry your water bottle. This is a guy's purse. This is the male equivalent to a purse. This bag is from Gundy’s. And I really like it because it’s super durable. Like, I try and break stuff when I get it. So, this has passed many tests. It’s made of really thick material. And it's not gonna get wrecked which is great because guys, you aren’t very careful with your stuff. You have to make sure that you have durable things so they don't get wrecked. Also, I really like the look of this backpack. It just looks rugged. It just looks like a guy's backpack. It’s got two water bottle holders on both sides. It’s got a little pouch here if you need quick access and you're on the flight. It’s got space for your laptop on the inside. Which is great. More pockets on the inside so you can stuff some cash or your passport.

3. Water Bottle

So, this keeps cool drinks cold. It keeps hot drinks really hot. And it also has two sides to the lid. So, the lid can open. So, you can put ice in here if you want. Or you can just undo the top and just drink out of it like a regular water bottle. Also, which I really like about this one is it has an attachment to put, like, berries in here. Or you can put, like, lemon or lime in here if you wanna flavour your water. It’s nice that this has a loop so if I have a carabineer’s usually done have a carabineer and I can just attach it to my belt. I can attach it to my bag if I want. If I, like, rent a bike and I wanna ride around. This, it's really handy to have some sort of a handle on your water bottle.

4. Black Shoes

And, you know, they’re not gonna get scuffed up. You wear white shoes for traveling. But what are you doing with white shoes traveling? I really like these because they’re super light. And, you know, you can mash up and, like, look, that takes up, like, next to no room in your suitcase. Unless I'm going to a super cold destination this is what I'm gonna bring, therefore I include this in my travel accessories for men category. I’ve worn these with suits. You know you can really dress them up. You can dress them down. They’re very versatile. And I highly recommend it.

5. A Travel Journal

Travel journals are a great Men travel accessory when you're traveling to write down ideas. You can play games here. You can write down your thoughts. You can draw pictures. Actually, I took this with me on my six-month trip around the world backpacking. 

And because I took the time to absorb scenes and to draw images, I have a more vivid memory of it. That's, like, a cool carpet that I saw. This is a seashell that I found and I did like a, I don't know what that's called. Like a, not a stencil where, like, you know, I wiped the pen over it or the pencil over it. Honestly, I don't always write in it. But I don't know when I'm going to feel inspired to write in it. I just make sure that it's in my suitcase or in my backpack so when I do want it, it's there.
