Adventure travel is one of the biggest trends this year, and more and more people are heading out to enjoy nature and experience the wonders of our beautiful planet. Many of these journeys consist of road trips, camping getaways, and visits to State and National Parks (A study from KOA revealed that many people are skipping hotels for campsites this year). If you’re looking to escape the cities and experience some of nature’s beauty, be sure to check out the items below.

Mouth Watchers toothbrushes from Dr. Plotka
Mouth Watchers Silver Toothbrushes
Keeping clean and healthy while traveling is extremely important. That’s why these travel toothbrushes are perfect. Not only do they fold into a plastic shell, but the bristles of Mouth Watchers toothbrushes have a unique design. The tips of the bristles are thinner than at the base, allowing them to work for a deeper clean.
But the real impressive difference is that the bristles are infused with silver. The element is naturally antimicrobial and by infusing it into the bristles, it helps ensure that germs aren’t able to live on your toothbrush. This is perfect for anyone going camping who might not always have the ability to clean their toothbrush during their journey.
And it’s not just for the outdoors. Anyone who’s been on a trans-pacific flight knows all too well how badly they just want to brush their teeth afterwards to get that I’ve been on an airplane for 16 hours feeling out of their mouth. The brushes come in adult, youth, and travel varieties.

Itiwit inflatable paddle board by Decathlon
Decathalon’s Itiwit Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Board
If you’re like me, you’re always jealous anytime you head out to a lake or river only to see people out on the water having fun. Hiking the lakeside trails is great, don’t get me wrong, but I always find myself wishing I was the kind of person who owned a paddle board or kayak (and had the SUV with all the mounting gear to transport them).
Fortunately for us, Decathlon has created an awesome series of products under their Itiwit brand. Now, we can all have fun on the water with Itiwit inflatable paddle boards and kayaks. No longer do you need to haul them around and find a place to store them. Decathlon’s inflatable gear comes folded inside a backpack. All you need to do is get them to the shore, blow them up, and you’re good to go.
Best of all, they’re designed for stability and performance. Despite being inflatable, they’re extremely durable. In fact, the paddle boards have a 4.5-star rating based on almost 500 reviews, and the kayaks have a 4-star review based on over 1,000 reviews.
