Whether it be finally visiting that incredible destination you’ve always dreamed of, or finding yourself (literally) on the other side of the world, solo adventures have an irresistible lure.

Happy New Year everyone!

As a travel writer, I've been blessed with opportunities to travel wide and far, and abroad, in all sorts of styles, backpacker to camping to luxury travel, with the chance to try out a variety of great products. I am blessed, and eternally grateful.
Today is no different. I introduce to you one of the most useful products that I've used in my travels: The (sleek and sexy) Valandre Grasshopper sleeping bag by Liberty Mountain. This is no normal sleeping bag, as it was designed for a myriad of travel styles. Take for instance, the green color, said to give the user the ability to romp and roll around in the high grass of any country side, while also being sufficient in keeping you comfortable during summer nights through late autumn... Because of the fabric is nylon and polyester rip-stop on the outside and Pyrenean French duck down inside the shell, making it perfect for chilly mornings, as well as stuffy summer nights.
