    I love my Zomake backpack! It packs down in it’s own zipper pocket so it is easy drop into another bag or suitcase. Makes a perfect day pack once at your destination. I actually bought a second one for my husband and carry it inside mine so we have a place for jackets as the day grows warmer or rain gear when not in use.

    1. Katie @ ZenLifeandTravel

      Hi Janica,
      I’m so glad to hear that you love it! It’s so handy to have a bag like this that packs down easily.

  2. Nina | Lemons and Luggage

    Ahh, that collapsible water bottle seems like such a must-have! I don’t want to buy plastic bottles, but I can’t bring a glass bottle obviously. This seems like the perfect middle-ground!

  3. Chelsey Knuth

    Such a great list!! Unique maps for tracking my adventures are always the best!
