Everyone’s traveling style is different, from simply buying a plane ticket and figuring out all the details later or booking everything 6 months in advance. Whether you like unpredictability or stability, there are a few essentials (and some fun extras) that every traveler must be prepared with before embarking on their adventure! Here are a few gift ideas for your favorite traveling friends:

• A good sturdy backpack or suitcase (I love REI’s stuff)
• A destination guide book (I recommend The Rough Guides or Let’s Go)
• A basic language phrase book (Lonely Planet has some good ones)
• The modern version of a compass, a handheld global positioning system (GPS)
• A “Plane Comfort” gift basket including an inflatable neck pillow, fleece blanket, eye mask, earplugs and wipes. (From travelbaskets.com)
• A travel journal to keep track of all the adventures
• A digital camera to capture the memories (Check out Bestbuy.com)

And for those of you feeling extremely generous, go out and buy a plane ticket for your favorite some one to an exotic destination like Laos, Croatia, or Tanzania!
