    Okay… Hear me out. I’m convinced that traveli Okay… Hear me out.

I’m convinced that traveling more is less about money or time, and a lot more about our comfort zones.

While I know there are many people in extreme circumstances who truly cannot afford to travel more, the majority of us use money as a cop-out response to leaving our comfort zone.

We are so afraid to leave the comfort of our home that we make up excuses as to why we “can’t” or “shouldn’t” travel more.

But, guess what?

Fear doesn’t inspire growth, chase dreams or recharge us. It only perpetrates more fear.

If you want to live in fear (whether conscious or subconscious) then, by all means, stay inside your comfort zone.

If you want to live a full life of courage, I challenge you to use the resources that are available to you (link in bio), step outside your comfort zone and experience the world.

I promise, it is so worth it. 🌎🤍

Sounds pretty good, right?

Believe it or not, this travel life is 100% available to you.

The Budget Travel Bible — my comprehensive easy-to-follow ebook guide for traveling on a budget — shows you exactly how to do all of this and more.

It’s no longer about WHETHER you can travel more. It’s about HOW.

And, because he’s a dad who travels a lot, you may need to buy him these extra red pins. I bought these for my destination map (this same map), and they match the original pins really well.

YETI is a company favored by travelers everywhere.

The brand also sells extremely reputable mugs, wine tumblers, lunch bags and coolers that are essentially indestructible. (Seriously, they are designed to keep bears from getting into your camp food.) Many of the products are available in various colors, too.

11. Freehand Suitcase Cup Holder

There is nothing more annoying than traveling with full hands.

What I particularly love about this suitcase cup holder is that it has a harder shell to keep your dad’s coffee, water bottle, phone and other belongings secure.

Furthermore, there’s a pocket on either side of the holder where your dad can keep his ID, passport and boarding passes readily available.

Luggage organization helps keep a cool and level head during those extra busy business trips, but you know what causes even more frustration than a messy suitcase? Wrinkles.

This necktie travel case is a lay-flat solution to both of these problems. Keep your dad’s suitcase organized and ties wrinkle-free.

20. Books For His Commute (Gifts For Dads Who Travel A Lot)

Lastly, for gifts for dads who travel for work, is a good book.

Every dad who travels for work needs a good book for his long commutes and layovers. My top two recommendations are Tim Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek and Mark McCormack’s What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School.

The 4-Hour Workweek teaches step-by-step how to automate your life so you can work less and travel more. Whereas, What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School teaches insightful sales tips, negotiation strategies and how to read people better in business. Both books are perfect for dads.

23. Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Moreover, waterproof speakers to bring to the beach, pool, hotel room or hiking trail make excellent travel gifts for dad.

My dad bought this travel-friendly Bose waterproof speaker (travel dad approved) for my mom, and she uses it all the time. The audio is fantastic considering the speaker’s compact size, and, believe it or not, Bose is approved by pilots.

Or, if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative that still yields great audio quality, this JBL portable speaker comes with a built-in carabiner clip to attach to suitcases, backpacks or briefcases. This speaker is also advertised to be dust-proof, which is great for sandy beaches.

My husband, who is also a traveler, has a JBL speaker and uses it basically every day.

This world renown waterproof action camera, the GoPro HERO10, shoots footage in 5.3K (91% more resolution than 4K), has a touch screen and has 1080p live-streaming capabilities. (Talk about a perfect techie dad gift.)

Whether your dad is an avid risk-taking adventurer or a luxury 5-star vacationer, the GoPro HERO10 is a must-have gift for dads who travel.
