Hi there! So here on World Travel Family travel blog, we cover many different types of travel gear. If you’re looking for a general overview, find our “travel gear” tab in the top menu, or “travel essentials” below.

We also cover more specialised travel gear and the gear we use for travel blogging. You’ll find pages of posts in travel gear and equipment below.

There are also some more specialised posts on typical travel items most travellers will need. We cover things like travel organisers, passport holders, luggage and travel towls,

Then we get onto equipment and packing for trekking. In this instance you’ll be carrying your gear for weeks. You really have to think about this stuff. We’ve done a lot of trekking, including Everest Base Camp. I can pack for this stuff blindfolded now.

Talking of being an expert packer, there is also carry-on travel. Something else we specialise in for certain types of trip,

Next up is gear for travel blogging, dromes, laptops, cameras, mics etc. That’s mostly in the two round-up posts I already mentioned. Hopefully, you’ll find what you need. Just have a scroll through our posts below!
