The Best Accessories for your Next Trip

Travel

If you’re planning to travel at some stage this year, you may be considering which accessories are the best to ensure you have everything you need while you’re on the go. Luckily, we’ve done the research for you, so here are the best accessories for your next trip: A good wallet One of the best things you need while travelling is a good wallet. Ideally, you want it to have multiple compartments- especially if you’re visiting multiple destinations with different currencies and know you’re the type to have extra money left over. Another good option is an iPhone wallet case. This keeps your iPhone and your wallet together so you don’t need to continually be patting your pockets to check you have both your phone and your money safe, and an iPhone wallet also makes it much easier to travel light- without the need for a purse or backpack.

More women are riding motorcycles than ever before

Travel

One of the motorcycle industry’s biggest hurdles is figuring out how to capture new riders in new segments. Sure, it’s easy to add more 50 to 60-year-old dudes riding Harleys, but unless the industry figures out how to sell bikes to young people and women, it simply won’t grow. The motorcycle industry is obviously doing something right though, and the number of women owning motorcycles is currently higher than it’s ever been in the past. The Motorcycle Industry Council tracks huge amounts of data which is used by manufacturers so they can react to trends. This data has recently shown that females currently make up 14% of the current total of motorcycle ownership, which has been increasing steadily since 1998 when it was just 8%. Even better? These numbers are skewing towards the younger generation. Women aged between 18-35 currently make up 17.6% of motorcycle owners, those between 36 and…

My ultimate spa day

Travel

There are few things that I enjoy more than a full-blown spa day. There’s just something so lush about being pampered, and since it’s not something that I enjoy all that often, it makes it all the more special when I do choose to pamper myself. The best spa day I ever had was actually in Cambodia. I forget the name of the spa, but it was located in Siem Reap, and I found myself going back again and again, and even took my mother there when we visited the following year. The spa was so relaxing. As soon as we walked in, the girls working there took our shoes and immediately gave us a little foot bath, complete with scrub and massage. When I returned the following year with my mum, I was going to the spa for my birthday and she bought me a package, which included a…
