Having a travel wallet that can hold my passport, cards, and money while traveling is a must for me. Although it is not very fancy, the Pacsafe Luggage Rfid-tec 150 Compact Organizer is a great choice for both male and female travelers because it is a neutral tone, inconspicuous, has a change pocket, and has an extra added bonus: it has RFID Blocking technology!

This year I was in the market for a new camera, so I headed to my favorite camera shop here in NYC looking to find a camera that produced clear high-quality shots, was light, and was durable. After a long discussion with a sales representative, I was informed that the X-E1 was a great choice because it is mirror-less and it is right between a consumer DSLR and a professional DSLR, with an excellent price point. Ever since purchasing the camera in the spring, I am in love with it, and I feel that it is one of the best investments I have ever made.

Cost: $700 + (including lens)
