travel essentials
Travel is a huge part of my work, especially leading travel-art adventures regionally, nationally, and internationally. Here I share a variety of travel-related items that make my life on the road, and in the air, better!

The SheBirdie personal safety alarm - keychain; pull the pin to activate the siren and strobe light, insert pin to deactivate.
Comfort
When it comes to packing, I aim for creating a capsule using the 5-4-3-2-1 Rule: 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 3 jackets, 2 pairs of shoes and 1 accessory. I need comfortable, stylish shoes that can handle wear and tear of variable terrain. These Sketchers sandals are a dream for my feet.
