Welcome to Of The Traveler: posting long-form travel journals, travel tips, and reviews.
We travel from Miami to Spain, the place where we first honeymooned 15 years ago. This time, we’re focusing on Valencia, taking in the sights, sounds, and tastes of this beautiful clash of old and modern.
After using the bag for multiple months, including several major trips, The Huhu Everyday Diaper Backpack V2 is one of the best expressions I’ve seen or used as a parent bag. It learns a lot from its predecessor and produces a user experience that is refined, comfortable, and nearly frictionless. Although pricier than the trash people tend to get as a parent bag, the Huhu Everyday will survive the diaper stage into the toddler stage and beyond while also being used for adult use cases like travel, work, or everyday carry. Even without the moniker of being a “diaper bag,” the Everyday is a straight-up awesome pack that should be used even if kids aren’t involved.
Join us as we take a bit of a different trip; A cruise from Quebec back to Miami.
Join us as we head back to Switzerland, this time focusing on the places we liked and sticking around a little longer. It’s been almost four years since we were originally there. Some things have changed since then; having a baby and a global pandemic. The whole family is coming, along with Cynthia’s parents.
Join us as we travel through parts of California. From Los Angeles, to Solvang, to Paso Robles, to Yosemite, and San Fracisco.
In this review written for Carryology, we check out the R1 from Beau Industries. This is a parent bag, designed by George Estreich, who has designed for such companies as Timberland, Samsonite, and Adidas. It’s a great backpack that just so happens to have awesome features for parents.
On the channel, I go over a bunch of other bags not listed here - mainly packs that I purchased on my own or ones I didn’t write an article for Carryology.
In this article written for Carryology.com, I check out five high-quality and super durable packs that can work as a parent bag.

I was able to review the brand new Tortuga Outbreaker Laptop Backpack for Carryology. This thing is nice!
I sit down with Jasmin Alvarez. Singer, songwriter, and pianist. We discuss her music, her tastes, and some of the other things she’s into.
I sit down with Erin & Brian of River City Food Tours, the #1 rated Food Tour in Richmond, Virginia. We talk travel, Richmond, Food Tours and camera gear. See what it took for these two to develop a successful food tour business from scratch.
Today, I am interviewing Artist Adriana Jay, a local to Miami, Florida and an up-and-coming painter who captures the journey of women, and solo travelers.
The good people at Arcido sent me this bag back in November, and since then I’ve taken it on a handful of trips; Chicago, Richmond, The Florida Keys, Orlando, and others. If you’re looking for a travel bag, for weekend getaways, or maybe you’re great at minimalist packing (hooray!) please give Arcido and the Oxna a chance.
