😲 How I Keep My Camera Safe Without Looking Like a Tourist


Welcome back Travel and Photography-enthusiasts!

You know the old saying, “the best camera is the one that you have with you”?

Well, for most people, that just means whipping out their phone. But if you’re like me and you’ve got a proper camera—the kind with real buttons and removable lenses—you’ve probably faced the classic dilemma:

Do I bring it and risk it rattling around in my big ol’ unprotected backpack?
Or leave it behind and maybe cry later when I miss the perfect shot?

I’ve done the latter more times than I’d like to admit.

Then came the WANDRD camera sling, which solved all my problems!

WANDRD Sling

This convenient 6L sling perfectly tucks my camera (and one additional lens), well protected, while staying totally stylish. When I bring just my camera, I have extra space for my sunglasses + wallet in a separate convenient zippered compartment. Even when I don’t bring my camera, I can use it just as a stylish day-out sling.

I have a proper camera backpack, but oftentimes when I’m just going out for a day, I don’t want to lug a large backpack around.

The WANDRD Sling is the perfect in-between.

It’s water-resistant, well-padded, durable, and—dare I say—actually good-looking. I searched high and low, through the vast wilderness of the internet and every vaguely promising gear blog, and the WANDRD Sling was the only one that ticked all my picky boxes.

I’ve now brought it to over 20 countries, from scrambling up ancient temples in Tikal, city-trotting in Japan, to the rugged alien landscape of Atacama, and it’s held up like a champ every time!

So for those of you photography-enthusiasts on the search for something similar, I wanted to share this delightful finding with you! 😊

Here’s me and my trusty sling, taking on the world one photo at a time 📸🌍

That's it for now!

Looking forward to bringing you new joy, inspiration, and adventures!

Ok South America, you blew us away. The past few months we’ve been traveling through South America and honestly, it’s been incredible. Culture, landscapes, experiences—you name it, this part of the world has it. We started with two months in Mexico learning Spanish and practicing salsa and bachata. After a couple of months though, we were speaking well enough to make local friends—and even confident enough to join a dance troupe! From there we went to Colombia to keep at it, and then headed...
