Buddy The Traveling Monkey Shop
Hello and welcome to the Buddy The Traveling Monkey Shop! Below you’ll find some of our favorite travel items. Everything from the backpacks we use to the services we use to make travel more affordable.
Carry-On Essentials
Besides some clothes, these items are always in our backpack. We go more in-depth on these items in this post.
Chester Carry-On Luggage
When we need to travel with more than just our backpack, we use our Chester carry-on luggage. This carry-on has been all over with us and it’s held up quite nicely. You can read our full review to learn more. Or if you’d like to go ahead and start shopping, click here. Remember to enter coupon code BUDDY10 for an extra 10% of your purchase.

Cold Weather Items
Before we traveled to Iceland, we realized how unprepared we were for cold climates. These items helped us survive lol!
Warm Weather Items
We head to the beach as often as we can! We grew up in Florida, can you blame us? 😉 We also have this article that goes more in depth on our favorite beach products.

Trusted Housesitters
Trusted Housesitters has become invaluable to us since becoming digital nomads. We look for homes in a city we want to visit and are able to explore over an extended amount of time, without having to pay for accommodation! You can read about our personal experience with Trusted Housesitters and when you’re ready to sign up, click here and use code RAF79399 at check out to receive 25% off.

HouseSitMexico
Another website we’ve recently started using is HouseSitMexico. They offer house sits specifically in Mexico.
Airbnb
Occasionally when we travel we do need to book a place to stay for a few days. It’s usually if there’s a gap in between house sits. We recommend Airbnb, especially if you’re wanting a more authentic travel experience.

We think this is such a fun way to keep track of your travels! Scratch off each country or state as you visit. Click here for more info.
