5 PERFECT GIFTS FOR THE WANDERLUSTERS AMONG US
Let's not beat around the bush: traveling is the new black. Generation Y wants to ‘explore’ the world, discover themselves, and secretly brag about it on Instagram. I get it. Is your sister/friend/colleague going on a trip soon and are you looking for a suitable gift? Or are you yourself crazy about travel gadgets? Then I have the ultimate list for you:
1. The world map 2.0
A real eye-catcher for the wall: a hand-carved wooden world map from Gorille. You might pay a bit more (between 80 and 270 euros), but you have an original gift that will always look beautiful.
2. For girls who often get lost...
Ha, this is an invention for me (read: always lost). You can take a good look at your stylish route map in the evening to see where you need to go the next day. Yes, Mapiful prints route maps on posters, which you can then frame and give a place at home. Tip: Paris is very beautiful.
3. The ultimate travel T-shirt
“Can you drink tap water here? Where is a pharmacy nearby? Can I get a bite to eat here?” Those who see a lot of the world know that communicating in some places is a bitch. The story behind this shirt? The guys from Iconspeak once stood with a broken car in Vietnam. By drawing symbols (to communicate with the locals), they came up with the idea to make a travel T-shirt. Pointing at an icon once and everyone immediately knows what you mean. Super handy.
4. Travelogue travel diary
This is such a fun thing, especially for the solo traveler who feels a bit lonely at first. In the booklet, you can jot down your important information, plan your transport, and keep a diary. But there are also extras: a packing checklist, an overview of sizes and weights in different countries, and a short vocabulary list in English, Italian, German, Spanish, and French.
5. A GoPro camera
I think this will make every traveler happy. It’s still on my wish list. Why? In no time you can make the coolest videos, it's waterproof, can take a beating, and is also small and easy to take on trips. They come in countless shapes and sizes, but if you want a somewhat steady little camera, you’ll pay around 100 to 150 euros for it. Also super cool as a group gift if one of your friends is going on a longer trip.
