Ray Ban Stories Sunglasses
We bought these sunglasses with a built-in camera before our last trip. We tested them and we were very surprised with the high quality video and pictures! You DON’T need internet to keep them working!
They can store over 300 pics or 30 videos of 30 seconds and you can easily send them to your phone with the Facebook View app. Once downloaded to your phone, you can clear the glasses storage and start fresh.
We were very impressive the quality of videos and pictures for being sunglasses…one of our best purchases ever! And easy to use! Sure it’s not iPhone 14 supermax quality, but good enough!
They were also very convenient because you don’t have to take out your camera or your phone to take a pic or video. Just simply click and done!
Also, they work as a spy camera. At the museum in Egpyt, I got some sneaky footage in the King Tut exhibit.
Find below a couple of videos recorded with Ray Ban Stories at the Red Dunes, Dubai 🙂

GoPro 7
We have been using a GoPro for 6 years now and it’s a must on our trips! We already had GoPro 5 and GoPro 7. We are sporty and we participated in several Spartan Races. The GoPro was the best to record our race journal! When you combine it with the multi-purpose attachments for the chest, head, bike, etc. it is even better!
Also, record your underwater experiences!! The fish eye effect for wide views and the stabilizer is also a plus not to have jumpy videos! We never travel without our GoPro. Get yours and keep your memories forever, just like us!
Let me show you some GoPro pics:

Teva Huricane Sandals
I was looking for a good pair of travel sandals, something really comfortable to keep my feet secure with a good grip to walk on uneven surfaces and also good for long days walking. After a long search, I stumbled upon these Teva Sandals. They have already been with me on a couple of international trips and are a lifesaver in hot weather. They are very comfortable and I can wear them all day with no problem. I even crossed small rivers wearing them without issue.
Military Tactical Backpack
I was looking for a backpack for my international trips that was good quality and not so big but with a lot of space and extra compartments for all my small stuff
I stumbled upon this backpack and I don’t regret this purchase! The material is excellent, has a lot of space inside and in extra pockets, and has a special space for a laptop… very convenient!
Plus its a black camo and looks cool. That was the main selling point!
Rover Sling Pack
I hate having my pockets full and walking around all day, so a sling pack is a must for me.
I spent way too much time comparing and evaluating before purchasing. This one met all my needs…not too big…not too small. Plus the color is cool.
The tactical design is very convenient while traveling as it has a lot of space inside. I had my water bottle, small umbrella, phone, wallet, and a light sweatshirt all inside!
Pitbull Skull Shaver
Yep… I’ve been bald since I’m 22 and I hate to shave but I have to!
Over the years I’ve tried a lot of different brands and styles of razors.
But I stumbled upon this Pitbull Silver Electric Razor, and YES! I finally found a razor that really does the job and is inexpensive! Wireless too! It has a USB port to charge it and ready to go in no time!
If you need something excellent, convenient, and travel-ready, this is the definitive option!
Men's Minimalist Trail Runner
While traveling local or internationally sometimes you have a walk-all day journeys…i did learn hard way, that is very important to get the best pair of shoes for that.
After different tryes and buying and comparind and of course testing different shoes options i found this awesome shoes!
They have wide toe design that make them very confortable if you have to walk a lot in your trips.
Also the trail design on the sole make them a excellent fit for rough roads/ stones even water!
Please let me highly recommend this as my top choice in travel shoes 100%
Action Camera Accessories Kit
I have to say this was one of those awesome purchases.
The price is awesome and you get a lot of accesories for your action camera with excellent quality!
Fits perfect with the Go Pro 7 camera we have and also with the Dragon Touch 4K Camera.
The case included is wide and good quality to save all your accesories and to take them everywhere!
Definitive a must!
Hands Free Portable Neck Fan
While traveling, waiting in the airport, being outside all day in different countries under the sun and onlong journeys, believe me, you NEED one of these neck fans.
I came to the realization that I needed this while in Thailand. I found a bunch of options but again…I wanted to check the reviews first and this was the winner
Very good price and can be on full blast with a full charge for over an hour!
Also, it has a charging port that makes it very convenient while traveling. If you combine with a portable battery, you can recharge your fan wherever you are and ready to go again!
Neck Strap for GoPro
One downside to using a GoPro is that if its now attached somewhere, you’ll have to carry it around on one of those sticks.
I like to take short pics/videos with mine, so I’m always putting it in my pocket temporarily and become annoying after awhile.
I found this GoPro neck strap on Amazon and has be a huge relief.
I just let it dangle around my next all day and can start recording or taking pics in seconds. I don’t have to worry about setting the camera down and forgetting it too!
Green Camo Cap
Hey who doesn’t like hats right!?
This is a multicam hat and its black and its cool! Not much more to say! The quality is excellent too.
It’s got like 3000 reviews on Amazon so you can trust me.
GoPro Mini Pole Tripod
This is a very useful, light and very easy to carry because of the small size (works perfect with other action cameras as well).
While traveling has been very useful to take pictures together or recording certain activities where we want to show together, its a perfect addition to your travel kit!
Besides it works as a selfie stick! I has a very good length to take a good image or video!
Portable Cell Phone Camera Tripod
The phone is what we sometimes use the most to take pictures while traveling.
Before we buy this cellphone tripod, ( I think many of you will identify here), to take a picture we were fixing the phone over the rocks, using the back pack to hold it, or laying it over any surface seeing how it moves or finally falls because didn’t have a good grip hahaha.
After comparing price and quality we found this tripod and it’s so awesome. You can adjust the legs which have a wire that allow you to place it in the position you want, it can even be gripped on a branch, a pole, on the floor, any surface actually. My wife loves it…the best purchase for your phone!!
Stanley Classic One Hand Vacuum Mug
When I travel I always carry a bottle with water with me…but the problem when you buy a normal plastic bottle is it can be hot after a while.
If you are like me, and you want to move around but you need to give a sip of fresh water, this Stanley mug is the option!
Despite of being metal, it is not heavy at all and I love is fit easily into my tactical backpack and also fits perfect in my sling bag!
Give a check in the link below!
Foldable Cart for Luggage
OK… this is a DONT-THINK TWICE-BUT-BUY-THIS-NOW product.
As you see we travel a lot, we have been several times in Japan and Thailand were the distances in train, subway and walking are OVERWHELMING. If you are heavy, crazy travelers with a lot of luggage like us, you need this foldable cart. In one single cart we make fit: two carry on and a back pack stacked!…Do you imagine the amount of weight you release of your hands?
In the pictures my wife is only carrying her back pack but after 36 hrs traveling is a fun no to have anything over your shoulders.
NOTE: Yes, are allowed no problem inside the plane.
Wrist Strap Compatible with GoPro & Others
We came with the idea of buying this accesory for our cameras because we wanted to take video with out the risk of loosing the camera while doing outddoor activities.
We actually live in Puerto Vallarta and this wrist strap has being very useful to take video or pictures while doing activities such as: swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and even in zip line!
You can record your video without the risk of loosing your camera because of heights or wet hands!
This is a must accessory for your camera too!
Dragon Touch 4K Action Camera
My wife wanted an action camera, she uses more her phone to take pictures and video, but wanted one for more outdoor activities.
She didn’t want a GoPro since she does not use much the action camera like me, then I started looking for a good fit for her.
After checking a lot of options and looking at the reviews we decided on the Dragon Touch action camera 4K. It was the best option!
The quality of pictures and video is very good (obviously you can not compare with GoPro) it does the job, very good audio and includes a case to use it underwater, with awesome results!
Travel Pillow
I am very tall and I usually suffer a lot on a plane. I can never rest or fit my head in a secure, comfortable position and I just find my self awake on a 16 hour flight…terrible.
I was looking for a solution since I found I need to keep my head more straight and to support it somehow. Then I found this pillow.
I was skeptical at the beginning and it came the chance for using it first time traveling to Qatar.
It works perfect!! It holds my head in a very comfortable position and the wrap around is very snug and useful because protects your neck temperature wile sleeping, considering some planes have always the nuclear winter AC setting.
Yes, you need this one!
Comfort Travel Tech Chino Pants
Traveling the first years I did suffer a lot with my jeans during long..up to 36 hrs journeys to our destination. I have to say it was terrible, your legs feel stiff more when you have to be in the same position sitting for a long time.
Couple years ago I started looking for an option to travel in more comfortable way but still look dressy and I found these amazing travel pants. I liked them so much I bought 3 more!
Spoil your self traveling with these amazing pants!
Samsung A53 5G
This cellphone is amazing has incredible features and storage and the price is very affordable in comparison with another Samsung mobile devices in similar categories.
The camera has very good night vision and the image and colors in the pictures is so crispy that you don’t need to fix it with filters!
We just got this phone 6 months ago when released, and we totally recommend it!
The phone is ready for the 5G technology when is released!
Universal Travel Adapter
With the first travel to Thailand years ago we faces the problem of the huge need of a universal adapter, that works for any device, phone or laptop.
After very rough time I never travel without my universal adapter. Its easy to use and I can plug in my laptop and cell at the same time no problem.
This is something you need in your travel bag. Tested and totally approved by us!
Portable Travel Foot Rest
At first I got this foot rest for my wife. We usually spend long journeys in the plane and you know after a while you don’t really know what to do with your legs :*(
The first time using it she shared it with me for a while during the flight and yea…I did get one more for me of course! Mt legs are long and this travel foot rest help a lot keeping your legs in a comfortable position. You just have to adjust it on the service table and ready! Its inexpensive, foldable and light fits everywhere, totally recommended.
Foldable Travel Duffel Bag
Yes we start our trips with just 2 suitcases.. but as has happened to many of us, after days traveling and buying new items, the suitcases are full and obviously you are not carrying an extra empty big suitcase in a international trip right?
We found the solution: this kind of amazing small, light and very well built carry on.
The size is pretty good and is very spacious inside you can take with you inside the plane those valuable stuff or souvenirs . Of course we have one each!
Mulifuctional Scarf (Buff)
One of my go-to travel items is the buff. It just has soooo many uses.
While doing outdoor activities, such as hiking, kayak, sports, etc, it protect your face and head from the sun, also, while using it on the head keep your face free off sweat.
External hard drive 1tb
When you travel with your action camera, the SD card can be full very fast because the files are usually very huge. Also, to store those files on your laptop can be a bad idea for your internal memory.
This external hard drive solve that problem. This brand we are recommending in comparison with others we found, has a very good price and has 1tb in memory, which is plenty for what ever amount of videos you need to storage in your trip.
Power Bank 20000mAh
No doubt this is something you absolutely need!
While traveling sometimes we use the phone all day long or the action cameras or any other devices that need to be charged after a while of use and this is a head ache to look for a plug or something right?
This power bank solves all those problems: fully charged, can provide and also fully charge the battery for 2 phones ( yes we did it already).
This power bank is 20,000 mAh, is the limit allowed on a plane be careful with this! If you get a power bank with bigger mAh than this, for sure airport security will take it (yea…happened to us in Thailand…)
But with this power bank you won’t have any problems…tested and approved!
Action camera floating handle
With the wrist band for action camera, this action camera floationg handle is a must and very usefull!
Swiming once one of our cameras slipped from our hands and after feeling the hearth in the throat, we saw the camera safely floating nearly. Easy to seen because of the green neon color!
This is a must for action camera owners!!
Quikflip 2-in-1 Reversible Backpack Hoodie
Whoever invented this …thank you
The quality and the softness off this jacket is awesome! Also very useful because when you don’t need to wear thee jacket but you don’t want it in your hands either, it becomes a light back pack! We’ve tested it and it fits: my phone, keys, wallet, 2 small water bottles and still had some extra space!
For a traveler in short or long trips or in a outdoor activity, yes you need totally this jacket.
Wireless, noise cancelling headphones
We have our own business so when we travel we need to work also. These wireless noise canceling headphones solves many of our problems.
They are inexpensive, in comparison with others I found, and after a year+ of use they still work perfect. The sound is crispy and totally cancels any external noise.
Very useful when I had to take some client calls during my trips, because beside having the cancel feature, they are wireless you don’t have to mess up with cables tangling around you…and has a microphone that works very good!
