Why do we recommend Babbel?
-
Easy-to-use
Language learning can be very intimidating, especially if it doesn't use a Romanized alphabet. You need to focus on the language, not the platform you use. -
Conversation is Key
All first languages are learned in a specific order - Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. However, when you learn another language, most people are much older and so their brains are developed beyond a baby/toddler. The order can get confused and make it more challenging to learn. By using conversations to learn, you are harnessing the first two skills you learned your first language with to master more than one. It's the key to Babbel and unlocking your understanding. -
Personalized to Your Learning Style
With Babbel, you get to choose which learning path best suites your need and learning style. Choosing a learning path that helps you succeed also helps you retain the information. You'll feel more confident in another language when you can recall the words, grammar, and syntax to use correctly because it's how you've learned it.

Here's what I LOVE about this travel scarf - the variety of color means it can be an accessory for ANY OUTFIT. Additionally, knowing that I can carry my important items with me but WEAR them is a game changer. It's a large piece of fabric that I can use as a scarf, shawl, or head covering...which are ALL essential uses when traveling - especially to a Muslim country.
There's nothing worse than being stranded somewhere without a charged phone so a portable charger is necessary for your safety as well as convenience. This portable charger is slim for easy packing, has versatile charging options, is very safe with its safety options like temperature control, and designed with great durability and scratch resistance.

Water is life - especially when you're traveling in areas that may not have potable water. LifeStraw has filtered water bottles that I highly recommend. Each one is equipped with a 2 stage filtering system along with these great features:
-
ADVANCED WATER FILTRATION. Protects against, microplastics, chlorine, organic chemical matter and sand, dirt, cloudiness and more; improves taste
-
MADE TO LAST. Long-lasting membrane microfilter lasts up to 4,000 liters and the activated carbon filter lasts up to 100 liters of water with proper use and maintenance
-
RIGOROUSLY TESTED. Reusable, durable and BPA-free, independently lab tested to meet protocols established by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NSF International/ANSI
-
THOUGHTFUL AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN. 22 oz capacity. Every fill avoids single use plastic bottled water! Easy to use, easy to clean bottle and cap are dishwasher safe once the filter is removed.

YOUR PURCHASE HAS IMPACT. One purchase, one child, one year of safe water
These are a GAME CHANGER and a MUST HAVE when it comes to international or domestic travel right now. Airtags can track anything you connect them to so your bags, keys, purse, or backpack. They will give you peace of mind that, even if your bags don't get on your flight, you know where they are because you can SEE where they are. If you have an iPhone, you can connect your airtags to the phone and find your items in a couple of taps on the phone. Click the picture above to get your set for peace of mind!
I also recommend purchasing holders for them.
