❤️ Why we love it
We all love to read while travelling or at least we all try to read more while travelling, which can be a more or less successful endeavour. But once you get into a good book, there’s nothing better than sinking into a different world while you’re lounging at the beach, relaxing by a pool or trying to overcome an 18 hour bus ride through Mexico, on which the AC stopped working after 5 minutes.
While we don’t like being exclusively bound to the Kindle ecosystem, the Kindle is just a very solid device that makes reading while travelling fun and easy. Altough nothing beats a real book, the kindle paperweight is a really good e-reader. It can store every book you’ll ever want to read, has a great display that you can even use lying in the blazing sun and it’s waterproof, so you won’t have to worry about damage from water or sand.
🗒️ Things to note
The new Kindle paperwhite offers a great ratio of screen size, backlight and price. There are lots of other e-book readers on the market, but when it comes to easily accessing a wide range of books the Kindle ecosystem is the strongest out there. Also – older books are often available at heavily discounted prices or even for free, so always be on the lookout for some good deals.

I like to travel, cook and bake (not all at the same time though). I also love tech products that are practical and fun to use. Food wise I'm an adventurous eater and like it spicy. When it comes to clothing style, however, I'm pretty much useless and like to follow Zoe's tips on that.
