What gift for someone who travels?<\/h2>\n\n

Le cadeau \u00e0 offrir \u00e0 quelqu’un qui voyage est un cadeau qui permet de garder un souvenir de ses voyages. Le meilleur cadeau est une mini imprimante pour imprimer ses photos en voyage.<\/p>\n\n

What gift for a trip abroad?<\/h2>\n\n

Le cadeau \u00e0 offrir \u00e0 quelqu’un qui part \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger est un cadeau qui ne prend pas de place, ainsi la personne pourra le glisser facilement dans ses bagages, m\u00eame \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute. Nous vous conseillons d’opter pour un savon ou shampoing solide c’est le cadeau qui plaira \u00e0 tous les coups !<\/p>\n\n

1. Gifts for connected travellers<\/h2>\n\n

Print your photos when you travel<\/p>\n\n

 <\/figure>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

This pocket-sized printer<\/strong> ( 7.5 x 11.6 x 2.3 cm (< A5 ) ; Weight : 172 g ) is ideal for printing photos directly from your smartphone<\/strong> while traveling. <\/p>\n\n

You’ll be able to leave beautiful memories<\/strong> with the people you meet, or send the photos <\/strong>to friends and family!<\/p>\n\n

Instant camera<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

A less expensive alternative to the<\/strong> slightly bulkier pocket printer<\/strong>, a polaroid<\/strong>. Fujifilm’s beautiful colors make this a great accessory<\/strong> to slip into a travel bag. <\/p>\n\n

Portable, rugged Bluetooth speaker<\/p>\n\n

For travelers (like us) who can’t do without music!<\/strong> We always take along our JBL Flip 4<\/strong> Bluetooth speaker, which we find really hard-wearing. Note that it can withstand a few splashes or a little rain.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Noise-reducing wireless headphones<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

A must-have for shutting out the noise<\/strong> on long bus journeys<\/strong>, waiting<\/strong> at stations\/airports or working<\/strong> in a caf\u00e9! In short, we never leave home without our headphones. Those from Huawei<\/strong>, the benchmark brand in this market, are our favorites.<\/p>\n\n

Smartphone stabilizer<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We film a lot with our smartphones<\/strong>. This pole helps us stabilize our videos<\/strong>, reducing jolts and sudden movements. It adapts to all iPhones and smartphones to give your next video a professional edge<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n

Notebook stand<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This idea is perfectly suited todigital nomads<\/strong>, who often change their work environment. This booster seat creates a comfortable workspace<\/strong> for<\/strong> writing articles, editing videos or delivering news! <\/p>\n\n

Nous l’avons quasiment utilis\u00e9 quotidiennement lors de notre tour d’Europe en camping-car ainsi que notre tour de Scandinavie<\/a> afin de travailler dans de bonnes conditions.<\/p>\n\n

Universal adapter<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

This adapter is a must-have for any traveler’s suitcase or backpack! It includes 4 socket systems in one<\/strong>. It has 4 USB ports and a mains input <\/strong>for simultaneous connection of 5 devices.<\/p>\n\n

2. Fun gifts for travellers <\/h2>\n\n

Inflatable pouffe<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Another gift we got last year<\/strong> and immediately adopted. This inflatable footstool<\/strong> from Fatboy inflates in just a few minutes once you’ve got the hang of it. It weighs about 1kg<\/strong>, so for the moment we use it when we go to the park<\/strong> (Bordeaux Botanical Gardens), and we used it a lot during our tour of Europe in our camper van<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n

Cork wall map of the world<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

This pretty<\/strong> card<\/strong> hung over our sofa<\/strong> when we lived in Paris. We even planned the itinerary for our round-the-world trip<\/a>. Unfortunately, it didn’t survive our move, as it was glued directly to the wall. In our converted vehicle, we’ ll stick it on a support<\/strong> to keep it as long as possible!<\/p>\n\n

3. Gift ideas for green travellers<\/h2>\n\n

A straw that makes water drinkable<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n

This straw filters water absolutely everywhere<\/strong>. It eliminates 99.9% of bacteria.<\/p>\n

It’s a must-have for hiking<\/strong> and long-distance travel<\/strong>! No need to load your backpack with liters of water, your back will thank you.<\/p>\n\n

A French gourd<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

After filtering water, a water bottle is a must for storing it <\/strong>! We’ve each got one from the small French brand Qwetch<\/strong>, which offers healthy (BPA-free), lightweight products in pretty colors!<\/p>\n\n

Solid shampoo and multi-purpose soap<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Two essentials for traveling light<\/strong> and 0 waste<\/strong>! We’ve been using these products ever since we returned from our round-the-world trip. <\/p>\n\n

Today I’m making our own solid shampoo<\/strong>, let me know in the comments if the recipe might interest you. Secrets de<\/strong> Provence, a French brand with impeccable organic ingredients, is one of our favorites on the market. <\/p>\n\n

Soaps from the French brand Docteur Bronner’s are magic<\/strong>! They can be used to wash your body<\/strong>, hair<\/strong> and teeth<\/strong>, and to do your laundry <\/strong>(yes, it’s possible!), all in organic form, and are a must-have in every traveler’s toiletry bag.<\/p>\n\n

4. Offer must-have accessories<\/h2>\n\n

Storage pockets <\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Un indispensable pour garder un sac ou une valise rang\u00e9<\/strong> tout au long du voyage. L’un de nos meilleurs achats, elles nous accompagnent \u00e0 chaque voyage ! Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ces pochettes vos affaires propres ne se m\u00e9langeront pas malencontreusement avec vos affaires sales.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

An aircraft kit <\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

For us, a pillow<\/strong> is a must, if you want to sleep<\/strong> comfortably on the plane<\/strong>! Masks<\/strong> and earplugs<\/strong> can also be used if your accommodation doesn’t have shutters or blackout curtains<\/strong>, or if it’s noisy<\/strong>, which is often the case. Or when you sleep in your van or campsite, because with a street lamp nearby, or in Scandinavian countries in summer, the nights are short, as we’re experiencing right now.<\/p>\n\n

Folding cutlery set <\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

It’s another great gift <\/strong>we got before leaving on our round-the-world trip. We used it a lot, on our many picnics<\/strong> and camping<\/strong> trips, as well as when we cooked for ourselves in our accommodation, an eco-friendly alternative. The fork and knife can be separated<\/strong> on this model, which is very practical! Tried and tested for years!<\/p>\n\n

Foldable, compact hair dryer<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Those who know us know that I have extremely fine hair that dries in two minutes! We did, however, invest in a folding hairdryer <\/strong>, which we take with us when we have room. Still, it’s nice to be able to dry your hair when it’s cold<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n

Clothes washing bag<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Another great find<\/strong> that we discovered thanks to other travelers. This kit washes clothes in 3 minutes <\/strong>and weighs just 145g<\/strong>. A must-have for all travellers, and ideal for vanlife!<\/p>\n\n

Canvas belt to hide bills and papers<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

This was our very last purchase before leaving on our round-the-world trip<\/strong>. We added them to our equipment a few hours before taking the plane. In the end, we were really glad to have our pouch with us on the night bus journeys. <\/p>\n\n

Today, we take it everywhere, because we appreciate its practicality<\/strong>: all our papers (passport, international driving license, passport photos, vaccination booklet…) are in one place<\/strong>, even when we’re away in a van or camper van.<\/p>\n\n

5. Gifts for travelling readers<\/h2>\n\n

A reader<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

It’s a must-have for all traveling readers<\/strong>. You can easily download several books before you leave<\/strong>, so you don’t have to choose just one to limit the weight of your backpack\/suitcase. It’s an easy <\/strong>, pleasant<\/strong> read. <\/p>\n\n

This e-reader is backlit<\/strong>, so you can read in dimly lit places (buses, hotel rooms…). <\/p>\n\n

Edit 2023, after many years of use<\/strong> and hundreds of hours of playback <\/strong>we are extremely satisfied, one of our best investments, we recommend this lasting purchase!<\/p>\n\n

Books to help you plan your next trip <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

These books are gifts we got for Christmas<\/strong>, they’re inspiring and they give us lots of ideas. The images of the various sites are magnificent<\/strong>. We like to leaf through them, noting the places we absolutely want to see in our lives. We have a list of over 200 places, enough to take you on a trip of a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n

Inspiring travel stories<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Fabienne and Benoit<\/strong> are two bloggers, digital nomads, who we’ve been following for a long time and who inspire us enormously. We’ve spent a lot of time reading the many articles<\/strong> about their round-the-world trip, and we’d already loved their free e-book “Pr\u00e9parer un tour du monde” (Preparing for a round-the-world trip<\/strong>). Naturally, we bought their paper book, which is concise, humorous and beautifully illustrated! In short, it’s a mine of information that we recommend to you<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n

Depuis ils ont \u00e9galement sillon\u00e9s la France \u00e0 la recherche de belles randonn\u00e9es et des meilleures brasserie fran\u00e7aise. Rando bi\u00e8re France et Bretgagne sont les livres id\u00e9als pour les amateurs de bi\u00e8re et fans de rondo. Nous l’avons offert \u00e0 ma soeu<\/strong>r, elle a donc pu tester et approv\u00e9 plusieurs itin\u00e9raires. Bref le cadeau id\u00e9al !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A book for easy on-site communication<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

It’s another small<\/strong>, practical gift<\/strong> that we got before we left. This conversation guide features 200<\/strong> simple illustrations<\/strong> to help you make yourself understood in all G’Pal\u00e9mo languages, but with pictures!<\/p>\n\n

6. Gifts for vanlifers<\/h2>\n\n

We’ve also spent many hours equipping our vehicle for our various trips, so we’ve put together a list of our must-have van and motorhome accessories<\/a>. Some of these might surprise you, so don’t hesitate to share yours with us at the end of the article.<\/p>\n\n
