It is something I would never ever, would have thought to have bought when we go
traveling! (Intro) bum bum bum. Hi Explorers! Morgan and Chris here documenting our journey to full-time family travel
this week we decided to come up with a new idea for you because our families
keep asking what to get us for the holidays. (Uncle Zach to Jude) What do you even want for
Christmas? We're working towards full-time family travel so we don't want to
pack a bunch of things that we don't need and we want to make sure that
everything we do take with us has a meaning or a purpose so we reached out to
some of our favorite families that travel full-time or travel often to ask
them what they have to pack in their bags to give you some great ideas. So we
compiled the top 10 travel gift ideas for travelers by travelers. Number one
packing cubes. Now when we found this family, The Jetsetting when we first
looking at getting into traveling on a podcast and they got back to us with
that number one item that they would take with them which is packing cubes
they travel full-time with their kids and for them to be able to pack all
their belongings into different compartments instead of shoving it all
in a suitcase they said is far more efficient so we are definitely gonna
take that one and run with it! Number two a baby carrier. This one comes
to us from our friends and fellow Michiganders and travel family the
Funemployed Family they have a beautiful little girl named Liesl who's three and
they use the LÍLLÉbaby carrier and they highly recommended it because
they've been using it ever since she was born and she is three and they're still able
to use it and for families that travel often strollers usually are hard to lug
around so baby carriers are awesome! Number three silk cocoon sleep sacks. and
this comes to my good friends Monroe and Co who are a travel family based out of
Canada and I had never heard of this item until we reached out to this family. They often blog
about more luxury stays so it makes a whole lot of sense because it's really
portable it doesn't take up a lot of space but it does give you that touch of
luxury regardless of where you're staying. Number four, folding booster seat
Wild Kids Wander are based out of Pennsylvania they become really good
friends of ours out of Pennsylvania they're constantly going on road trips really
awesome road trips and they use these car seats and they're amazing I've never
even heard of them before I reached out so I'm so glad I did because we're gonna
absolutely have to get some they're super safe it's amazingly take up very little
space and they are actually tested and safe. Number five a travel pillow. Now this
comes from fellow youtubers G3 travels and they are based out of Las Vegas
Nevada and mid travel all the time with their son George and they recommended
the TRTL travel pillow and they don't just travel here and there for road trips
they travel internationally far and wide all the time so this one I totally trust
them on and they did a really great vlog that you'll have to check out about
surviving a 15-hour flight in economy with their son George it was a good one
Number 6 compression socks. This is one I would have never even thought about but
I completely trust because it comes to us from Counting Countries if you don't
know who they are you have to check them out because we are so inspired by them
they are as a couple Chloe and Jordan going to every single country in the
world in the fastest time possible to try to break the Guinness Book of World
Records- it's super epic! Number 7 noise-cancelling headphones. Yes! And this one
also comes from counting countries from Jordan and I can 100% appreciate this
item because when you're on a plane or a train or you just hear a bunch of noisy
kids and you need to zone out and get some editing done they are essential! Number 8 a backpack
with a water bag inside. This comes to us from Pack Your Bag Org a really
inspirational family, expat family, they used to live in Canada and now they live in France and they travel around all the time they talk to us about how
important it is especially when you're on the go just
to have that water supply to not have to stop and I have to search for it but to
keep adventuring. Number nine a carbon monoxide detector. Now this tip comes to us from our friend Erin's traveling and it is something I would never, ever thought to have bought when we go traveling,
which I now know is essential. Erin lived in Mexico for a while she traveled a lot and lived in
Mexico and really realized that this is a severe problem because when you're
staying in hostels or Airbnb or even sometimes when you're doing house stays
it is not always guaranteed that you're going to have those kind of features
you're not always going to have a carbon monoxide detector and it really could
save your life number 10 the item that we all want I
want a drone. And two of our good friends too! Always an Adventure with Kids have a
really great recommendation as well as some of our other friends but first
we're gonna let you see what they recommend they are a family out of Michigan
that move to New Zealand and they travel everywhere and I love their footage so
check it out. We are Always an Adventure with Kids. Thank you to our Michigan
friends Morgan, Chris, Jonah and Jude for inviting us to share with you a favorite
travel item that you could give at the Christmas gift. So we are gonna start
with our drone. Yeah that's right so we have a DJI Mavic Pro and this is our
favorite drone we've ever used, we've had three drones so this is the best one
so far. It's pretty cool it's like a transformer, it turns into a big drone
from a little drone and we've taken this guy around the world and it's worked
great. We've even crashed it into the middle of the active volcano. What's
really neat about the drone is it gives you a whole new perspective of where you
are because you can fly the drone high in the air and you can get a bird's-eye
view of some of the places that you're traveling now this one is about three or
four years old and I would recommend buying the new one
the Mavic Mini, which is about it's way smaller than this and even more portable
and cheaper so that is the one that we are gonna buy right. Yes for Christmas.
It's going to be our Christmas gift for me. And if you're looking for a slightly more
affordable option our good friends Rafs World who travel between the UK, Saudi Arabia
and the Philippines recommended the Parrot Anafi Drone. Hi Morgan and Chris my
name is Miras from Rafs World Travel and this is the one thing we can't forget to
take when we are going on holiday so this is a Parrot Anafi Drone. So we can
show some pictures we when we go back to
The Philippines soon. Explores thank you so much for watching we hope that you found
