Curator’s Pick
One of the best things about travelling is taking pictures and rediscovering the trip when getting them developed. Lomography’s Fisheye camera gives a little extra excitement to the moment: its 170° lens yields unpredictable and spectacular results.
A must-have for any traveller who wants the excitement of the trip to last well after returning, the Lomography Fisheye Camera is our favorite thing to travel with.
Practical stuff
When getting ready to travel, experienced globe-trotters know to keep it light and packed with essentials. Our collection of things to buy for travel features all the must haves: TSA compliant containers, official passport dimensioned document-holders, adapters, and toiletry bags are step 1 of your travel preparation.
Stuff to capture the moment
Step 2 is planning the stuff you are going to do, and the things you are going to want to have on hand to seize the day and be the best traveller you can be. Digital cameras on your smartphone will do a great job of taking most of your pictures, analog cameras will help capture all those special moments you’ll have on your trip and GoPro cameras will bring those still shots back to life.
And, for the hopelessly romantic traveller: a good old notepad will get the job done, too.
Things to buy to make the trip easier
Travelling well means having all the things you need to make the experience enjoyable from start to finish, including the ride over to your destination. That’s why our selection of things to buy for travellers also features Kindles, headphone splitters, and even flasks and cocktail kits for those unending layovers… You’re almost there, fellow traveller!
