Okay, stress free travel is a big promise to make and something we really can’t guarantee. Trains, planes, automobiles - they all go wrong, from time-to-time; but, with a little thought given to what you take with you, travelling can be a bit more carefree - honest!
When your journey is over an hour, you’ll need more entertainment than just an iphone. It’s essential to have something to read or listen to. I like the look of these H2 headphones from Bang & Olufsen, found on the Brotique’s website, and as a new contributor to The Holborn (quick plug there), we've just got the latest issue.
A bag is another essential. Relying on a carry bag from either World Duty Free or Boots is a recipe for disaster. I’ve been hankering after a Manaslu bag from Takuro for a while and, I think, it’s big enough to hold this neat washbag from Chapman, as well as a rolled up Sastruga jacket from Finisterre. To keep unwanted weight down Ockham have used 3D printing to create this super lightweight travel razor. It’s also important to make sure your travel documents, money, and cash cards are safe. For that, the Bellroy passport sleeve just can’t be beaten. Plus it comes with a pen! Holdall + Co's leather lanyard makes the perfect partner for keeping your keys on hand.
Finally, socks. You might think it’s a bit crazy, but comfortable feet are crucial on a long journey - they are for me, anyway. These two from M.P Crafted Garments + Barbour will do the trick.
