One of the ways we experience the world is through our sense of smell. You may walk into a room, smell something and be reminded of an experience you had either at home or on your travels. The team at Homesick Candles have essentially packaged up this concept to allow you to bring all of those memories with you no matter where in the world you are.

There is a unique Homesick candle for every US state as well as a handful of countries from around the world. If that traveller isn’t going to make it home for the holidays this year, bring “home” to them with one of these minimalist scented candles.

I love a good book and typically always prefer having the tangible version in hand when I read. That said, when I travel long-term or am going to be on the road quite a bit, it’s all about travelling lite. The best way to read while on the go is with an e-Reader.

The Kindle Paperwhite is the lightest Kindle on the market, has a battery that lasts weeks and is waterproof – making it the perfect companion for your next adventure.
