Travel Tips
This is where I keep the things I genuinely use, rebook, repurchase, or recommend when people ask about my creator kit for beginners, travel essentials, what I pack for a weekend road trip, and the booking platforms and tools I use.
I never want this page to feel like a random list of links. If something is included here, it is because it has actually been useful in the way I travel and create. Some items help with content creation, some make road trips easier, and others are simply the small things that make a difference when you are away from home.
Most asked about
These are the sections people ask me about most often, so they are the first ones I am building out properly.
Start here
Creator Kit for Beginners
A simpler, more realistic setup for anyone starting to create travel content without buying everything at once.
Road trips
What I Pack for a Weekend Road Trip
A practical list built around the short getaways we do most often, with comfort, organisation, and flexibility in mind.
Platforms
Travel Booking Platforms I Use
The booking tools, experience platforms, and planning resources I use or recommend most often.
Camera & creator gear
A big part of La Vida Down Under is trying to capture places as they really feel, not just how they look in one perfect moment. The tools I recommend here need to be reliable, portable, and realistic to travel with.
- Beginner-friendly creator setup
- Travel-friendly essentials
- Upgrade paths that actually make sense
Travel essentials
These are the less glamorous but genuinely helpful items: the organisers, chargers, power solutions, and practical basics that make travel simpler and more comfortable.
Road trip favourites
Because so much of our travel is built around weekends away, scenic drives, and short adventures out of the city, road trip essentials deserve their own space.
Apps, bookings & planning tools
Not every recommendation needs to be physical. Some of the most useful travel tools are the platforms and apps that help with planning, booking, navigation, itineraries, and finding places that are actually worth the stop.
How I choose what to recommend
- I use it regularly myself
- It has helped me travel or create more easily
- I would recommend it to a friend without hesitation
- It suits the kind of trips and content I share on this site
