Kimlee Hiking Backpack

I was surprised at how lightweight, yet durable, this Travel Backpack was. It is sturdy, practical, and made with quality materials. It is marketed as a hiking pack, it makes a nice carry-on bag when traveling by air because it isn’t bulky and fits nicely under the seat or in the bulkhead.

My MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina fits inside nicely, and the rest of the bag has plenty of room for overnight essentials, a change of clothes, etc. Or, of course, if you use this as a hiking or book bag, it is hefty enough to hold heavy textbooks or first aid supplies, etc. The padded shoulder straps are nice, and so is the padded back.



The backpack is made of a sturdy nylon material that repels moisture, is uniform, without snags or irregularities in stitching or color, and has thick strong, adjustable shoulder straps.

There are several compartments on the inside and out, and feels strong and long lasting.

The sturdy zipper closures glide smoothly, without snags or separation. If you are placing a laptop inside I suggest you have it in a cushiony sleeve because there is no padding inside the bag for protection.

It’s 19.7” x 7” x 11.38” so it is a tad smaller than the average book bag size. It keeps its shape, without hard wrinkles or that ‘crumbled nylon’ look.


In my opinion, this is a stylish backpack suitable for male or female. It’s a smart way to carry belongings, with several compartments, mesh water bottle holders, and cushioned straps and back for comfort. Though I was given a discounted price to test this backpack, I was not influenced or required to give a positive review. I’m pleased with its excellent craftsmanship and design.

Universal Travel Adapters (Type-G)

These YUBI Universal type-G travel adapters/surge protectors are small yet sturdy. They’re necessary gadgets for my trips out of the US. What’s unique about these adapters is they each have two sockets (2-prong and 3-prong) so you can plug in two items at once, or four at once, if using both adapters (e.g. hairdryer and flatiron, or phone and tablet.)

The 2-socket adapters are black plastic, accept 110 and 120 volts, and CE approved (European Conformity.) They are a must if you plan to travel to the UK (as well as many other countrys!) Though I was given a discounted price to test this product, I wasn’t influenced to leave a positive review. 



*Note: Plug adapters don’t convert voltage; they only change the plug type. If your device isn’t compatible with the voltage in the country you are visiting, you need to use a ‘voltage converter’ as well as the plug adapter.

INNORI 4.8A Travel Car Charger

This Innori Travel Car Charger is a dual swivel USB adapter—nice for hubby and myself to charge our phones at the same time—slowing the charging speed only minimally.

Like the wall charger, it charges my devices quickly! It’s faster than standard car chargers. A cord isn’t included, takes standard USB cords from your phone, tablet, etc. Though I was given a discounted price to test this car charger, I wasn’t influenced to leave a positive review. I’m pleased with its design and fast charge.

INNORI Travel Charger Dual USB Wall Charger

This Innori Travel Wall Charger is compact and lightweight. It’s a dual USB charger, so it’s great for traveling when you have limited space. Works great.

The best thing about it is how quickly it charges! It’s faster than my iPhone wall charger. It does not come with a cord, but takes USB cords from your phone, tablet, etc. Though I was given a discounted price to test this charger, I wasn’t influenced to leave a positive review. I am genuinely impressed with its size, protective current override.
