MANTA SOUND SLEEP MASK
We don't agree with this whole 'rawdogging flights' epidemic.
I’m sorry, but if we don't have something on hand to send us to sleep immediately or entertain us the whole time we're in the air, we're not getting on the plane.
It might sound dramatic but the guys over at Manta Sleep agree, so they've come up with the SOUND sleep mask featuring razor-thin Bluetooth headphones and a guaranteed 100% blackout so you can get the peaceful you sleep you need.
Say 'nigh nigh' to screaming kids and the guy two seats away who keeps obnoxiously clearing his throat. This sleep mask has a 20-hour battery life (17 hour flight? Piece of cake), tabs for easy speaker adjustment, c-shaped eye cups for side-sleep comfort and no robotic voice waking you up just to tell you your battery's low. Why are we kinda looking forward to our next flight now?

GOPRO HERO13 BLACK
Don’t know if you’ve realised this yet, but the world’s full of cool, crazy and captivating destinations that deserve to be seen through the lens of the newest addition to the GoPro line-up, the GoPro HERO13 Black.
It won’t just take a video. It’ll perfectly preserve the feeling of catching some serious air skiing on the slopes or the amazement of being surrounded by tropical fish in the South Pacific, all in 5.3k. That’s right, the image quality is so wicked that you’ll get to relive your favourite exhilarating moments over and over again.
In other words, this baby has it all – we’re talking a water-repelling lens cover, in-camera video stabilisation, a tall image sensor, wide-angle digital lenses, 10-bit colour, timecode syncing, auto-detection so you don’t have to fiddle with the settings mid-adventure, longer battery runtimes and magnetic mounting. Adds to cart.

CAMP SNAP SCREEN FREE DIGITAL CAMERA
Fancy cameras are cool and all but sometimes when you're in the moment, you don't want to think about what the shutter speed should be or how the lighting looks.
Get back to basics with the CAMP SNAP screen free digital camera. That's right, this camera has no screens and no settings: it's giving 'disposable camera you get to keep' vibes. All you have to do is point the camera and snap.
The lightweight lens takes away the distraction of checking the pic after the click and allows you to enjoy whatever food you're eating, whatever sight you're looking at or whatever memory you're in the middle of creating. It also comes in vibey colors and stores high-quality photos on a secure memory card until you're ready to share ‘em. And while it doesn't have any settings, each camera has a range of 'film' styles you can download to use on your photos from moody black and white to edgy vintage. Buried somewhere in the deep recesses of 2011 MacBooks, Photo Booth's effects are probably screaming.

SEALANDER
Ever thought about what would happen if you mixed a caravan with a boat? The guys at SEALANDER sure did.
And thank god, because this leisure all-rounder made for the city, country and river has now hit the market. It’s a mobile vehicle that functions as a caravan on land and a motorboat on water; a kind of compact, amphibious creation that looks as if it's come straight from the future to make all your adventures come true.
Developed in Germany, the SEALANDER has a sleek and functional design but when it comes to the materials used and the colour, it’s completely customisable. Want to add an onboard grill? Done. How about an insect screen? No problem. A sound system? Say no more fam.
Here’s the thing. The SEALANDER is pretty cool and all, but we’re not 100% sure it’s the best way you could spend $48,000 – think of all the trips around South-East Asia that could get you.
Then again if you DO have $48,000 to spend on an amphibious bit of metal, you’re probably doing well enough to get to South-East Asia. Maybe you could paddle there in your SEALANDER.

MONOS PREMIUM LUGGAGE
It's often the little things that make travel stressful. If it's not the length of the check-in line at the airport, it's trying to get a taxi when you've reached your destination. Or quickly calculating the exchange rate in your head before you have to pay. But the reliability of your suitcase shouldn't be one of them.
At least, not if you have a Monos. It might not scream 'LOOK AT ME' when it's sitting on the baggage carousel, but it doesn't need to. Less is more with this brand, a simplistic yet high-quality design means the suitcase you choose will stand the test of time, and the rough handling of even the worst rampie.
Monos' premium collection include styles suitable for carry-on or checked luggage, with multiple sizes perfect for both domestic and international travel. Made out of polycarbonate so that it's dent-resistant and impact- friendly (see rough handling point above), and featuring whisper-quiet wheels and an ultra-sturdy handle, a Monos suitcase is exactly what your next holiday needs.

SOULROCKER RETREAT BY SOULSHINE BALI
For some people hitting life’s big reset button looks like walking over 10,000 steps a day or de-cluttering your entire house so that it’ll never appear on the TV show Hoarders. For others, it’s a one-way ticket to Soulshine Bali’s Soulrocker retreat.
No, it’s not where retired rock bands of the 70s get together to talk about the glory days (although, we reckon Jimmy Page would be up for it). It’s a 7-night sanctuary specially designed for connection through music, movement, nature, conversation and a whole lotta fun with people from all walks of life.
Hosted by husband-and-wife duo Michael and Sara Franti, the retreat offers yoga sessions, incredible dining experiences and cultural activities, so you can heal your soul and explore the beauty of Bali. There’s also plenty of music sessions you can rock out to, as well as songwriting workshops and Q&A discussions.
