Hands down the best GoPro companion for hiking enthusiasts right now is the Hero 6. It has a compact and ultra-lightweight build quality making it one of the best cameras to have on a hike.
Features
But, the fun doesn’t just stop with its build quality. This camera comes with an image stabilization system that enabled you to capture uniquely smooth videos even when the original recording was bumpy. It comes with a capacity to shoot 4K and 1080p240 video quality. It’s a waterproof camera able to hold up its own without any housing up to 10 m under water. If that is impressive, there is more. The Hero 6 features a 5GHz WiFi capacity that makes copying and sharing of pictures and videos much easier.
Performance
The Hero 6 is a go-to for most hiking and adventure enthusiasts. Compared to its predecessor, the Hero 5, this camera boasts of improved performance with a better image and video quality. In fact, the fact that it comes with an image stabilization feature not to mention the improved video quality at 1080p is a plus for hiking lovers. In addition, you can quickly edit and share your videos thanks to the camera’s capacity to send and quickly edit footage on your phone. To top it all off, the camera boasts of a rugged waterproof design that is well capable of withstanding any harsh environment it’s subjected to.
Verdict
Even though it comes with a WiFi capacity, you ought to beware while you are out there in the wild since its battery has a rather short life. Furthermore, extremely low or high-temperature conditions might also shorten the life span of its battery. Plus, even though GoPro says it shoots 4K, there are a couple of complaints from users who were unable to play the recorded 4K footage on QuickTime. The solution here is to use VLC. All in all, this camera still remains to be one of the best options for those looking for a compact and rugged waterproof camera for hiking.
Pros
- Compact and lightweight build quality
- Waterproof design
- Capable of shooting quality 4K footage
- Comes with image stabilization
Cons
- Its 4K footage does not play on QuickTime

15 Things to do in Philadelphia
Last Updated: Monday, December 17, 2018 The great city of Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn to serve as the capital of Pennsylvania. It briefly became the capital of the United States while Washington DC was being built. It’s one of America’s oldest and most historically important cities, instrumental in the American Revolution [...] The post 15 Things to do in Philadelphia appeared first on...
1. Independence Seaport Museum
This anchor attraction is Philadelphia’s home to its maritime history and features artefacts and archive materials documenting the Greater Delaware Valley and the timeline of the Port of Philadelphia. It’s also where you will see the USS Olympia, victorious Admiral Dewey’s flagship and the only ship to survive the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.
2. Liberty Bell
The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American Independence and the abolition of slavery. Originally shipped in from the UK, the bell cracked during its first sounding. Subsequent recasts added copper, lead and tin but the bell sounded dull and then cracked again. The Liberty Bell Center has free admission, informative videos and boards detailing the extraordinary history of this troubled but emblematic bell.
3. Christ Church
William Penn was baptised here and the very same font is still in use today! It was constructed in the 1720s in a Georgian style harking back to the architecture of Sir Christopher Wren. Christ Church’s 60 m tower held the record for the tallest structure in the US until 1810. Its congregation included notables George Washington, Robert Morris, Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Ross and there are brass plaques on the pews where they once sat.
4. Independence Hall
Completed in 1753, Independence Hall is the focal building of the Independence National Historical Park. This is where the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and signed. Architecturally interesting, it’s built from red brick in the Georgian style and was the original home of the Liberty Bell.
5. Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier
This war memorial commemorates the thousands of fallen soldiers who fought in the American Revolutionary War. In 1976 an eternal flame was lit, watched over by a bronze statue of George Washington. The park is open to the public and there are many seating areas provided. No-one knows exactly how many bodies are buried in this location and a visit here serves as a sobering experience.
6. Reading Terminal Market
Philadelphia’s original public market has evolved dramatically over two centuries. A not-for-profit organisation runs the Reading Terminal Market and, today, it’s one of the States’ most successful public markets featuring over 75 independent small businesses that cater to all tastes with an array of fresh and prepared foods, specialist eateries and shops.
7. Schuylkill River Trail
There are many opportunities for outdoors exercise, running, cycling, rowing and dragon boat racing. The Schuylkill River Trail extends some 130 miles although only 60 miles have been completed to date. The Kelly Drive Loop is a four mile circuit running alongside the river – it’s here that the country’s oldest collegiate boat race – the Dad Vail Regatta – takes place.
8. Barnes Foundation Art Collection
The Barnes Art Collection was founded in 1922 with its aim of promoting the ‘advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts’. At the Philadelphia campus you will find one of the greatest private galleries of impressionist, post-impressionist and early-modern paintings. Take the time to browse through over 3,000 amazing works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso and Van Gogh.
9. Ghosts of the Mansions Tour
The original Ghost Tour in Philadelphia boasts two spooky mansions in the old district known as Society Hill. A nocturnal, candle-lit tour by a costumed guide will start at the eerie Strangers Burial Ground and take you to the colonial-era Powel House or Physick House where documented reports of ghostly activity have been recorded for over 70 years! The would-be ghost hunter will be given the use of an electromagnetic field meter (think of Ghostbusters’ handheld PKE ghost detectors) to help locate any paranormal goings-on!
10. Please Touch Museum
The Please Touch Museum was the first museum aimed at young children, particularly the under-sevens. Recently celebrating its 40th anniversary, the museum prides itself on self-directed, experiential, content-rich attractions that promote skills which help shape a child’s success in school and in life. Among the exhibits are interactive displays and features of historical toys from its collection numbering around 25,000!
11. The Franklin Institute
Founded in 1824 in honour of America’s first scientist, Benjamin Franklin, the institute is among the oldest science centres in the country. A visit here puts you in good company – many scientists have demonstrated groundbreaking new technology at the Franklin Institute. Their newest exhibits are based around robots, their intelligence, abilities, cooperation and locomotion. Did we mention you can test drive a Google self-driving car?
12. Sesame Place
Philadelphia is home to the States’ only theme park based on the much-loved children’s programme Sesame Street. Across this 14-acre site you’ll find choreographed stage shows, roller coaster, water attractions and fun rides. Now approaching its 37th year, Sesame Place continues to delight children young and old with their seasonal attractions. This year’s ‘A Very Furry Christmas’ has transformed the Park into a winter wonderland full of magical lights, Christmas decorations, shows and festive savoury menus. Aside from all the active play areas suitable for toddlers and older children, there are themed shopping areas and the chance to see Santa in his special ‘Furry Workshop’!
13. Longwood Gardens
This expansive area of some 1,000 acres is the idyllic setting showcasing one of the US’s most exciting horticultural display gardens. It has 20 indoor gardens and its Conservatory contains 4,600 species of plants and trees. There are educational, hands-on experiences all year round and November’s extravaganza is an intensively cultivated display, featuring more chrysanthemums than ever – the largest Thousand Bloom Mum grown outside of Asia!
14. QVC Studio Tour
One of Philadelphia’s more modern attractions is a tour of the world famous shopping channel – QVC. The studio is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2017 and what better time to visit than when there is a palpable buzz of excitement of celebration? Experience how experience how QVC products are sourced, tested, brought to life on air, and delivered to millions of QVC customers.
15. Philadephia Zoo
The Philadelphia Zoo opened in 1874 and its 42-acre site goes from strength to strength being home to nearly 2,000 animals including gorillas, orang-utans, lions, jaguars and – of course – the famous tigers which roam above you in mesh-enclosed aerial walkways. No trip here is complete without seeing Princess, the amazing Andean condor. The educational ‘Unless’ project brings to life the habitat loss due to deforestation by our increasing use of palm oil.

8 Best Lightweight Suitcases for International Travel
Frequent flying comes with luggage. Choosing the best lightweight suitcase will ensure that you comply with strict airline rules about weight and size. The post 8 Best Lightweight Suitcases for International Travel appeared first on TravelBusy.
Frequent flying comes with luggage. Choosing the best lightweight suitcase will ensure that you comply with strict airline rules about weight and size. Before you start going through all the colors and styles, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the provisions of luggage regarding the airlines you plan to use.
US carriers including Delta, United Airlines, and American Airlines all stipulate suitcase sizes for international travel for carry-on as 18-22 inches high, 9 inches deep, and 14 inches wide. For checked luggage, different airlines have their recommendations, but they range from 24 to 30 inches high. This comes with a weight limit too.

Buying a Lightweight Suitcase for International Travel
• Size
It’s an obvious consideration because you will want luggage that can squeeze in all your essential items while still complying with size restrictions. Consider how long your travel will be so that you don’t leave anything out. It’s always important to be realistic and not stuff the things you hope to use but in reality are just by the way items that take up valuable space.
• Soft vs. Hard Suitcases
Soft bags are flexible and can easily fit in an overhead compartment. Their flexibility also means you can fit an extra outfit. But they can rip easily if you don’t pick a high-quality suitcase made of dense materials. Hard suitcases, on the other hand, are ideal for storing fragile items. They are lightweight, durable, and less likely to be damaged in transit. Since they have hard sides, you will mostly carry the necessary items because it’s hard to go over the limit. With hard carry-on suitcases, you have to get the right size because you will not be able to squeeze it into an overhead compartment if it is not the right fit.
• Wheels
You can choose to go with a suitcase with two or four wheels and some have double wheel sets so are called 8-wheel. Four-wheeled luggage is easy to move since the spinner wheels move in all directions. For navigating through airports, 360-degree wheels are more comfortable to pull through since you can turn a corner without having to stop. But they can be hard to pull on cobblestone roads mostly found in Europe. That is why you may need to consider two-wheeled suitcases if your destination is Europe. Two wheels move in two directions only which makes them stable on rough surfaces.
The cost of being overweight
If your luggage is overweight or over sized you can expect to be hit with a hefty fine of up to $550 on some flights, basically the cost of the flight again! Here’s some charges from teh American airlines page.
Lightweight Carry-On Suitcases for International Travel (Cabin Luggage Approved)
We class ultra lightweight carry-on cases as weighing under 5lbs, but these may not be the best choice for you. The ultra-light suitcases tend to only have 2 wheels, which can get a bit annoying when queuing to board the plane. In our tests, we preferred the carry-on cases weighing under 7lb with hard shells and at least 4 wheels.
Samsonite Omni PC Hardside Spinner (Best Carry-On)
- Micro-diamond texture is extremely scratch-resistant, keeping cases beautiful trip after trip
- Re-engineered lightweight spinner wheels for effortless mobility
- Consumer-preferred expansion on all sizes
- Full-zip interior divider and cross-straps for increased packing organization
- 9.5x14.5x19
At 19 inches, Samsonite Omni PC Hardside Spinner is an excellent option in carry-ons. It comes in a lightweight and robust design for improved durability, weighing in at 6.8lbs. Being hard-sided, it is not a suitcase prone to damage so even if it is in a squeezed compartment; chances are everything in it will remain intact for the journey.
You can count on it, not only because it meets international luggage size but because it is easy to store lots of stuff. It has a full-zip interior with a divider and cross-straps to help squeeze in every item for your trip. Remember not to overstuff it because airlines will charge you extra fees or even worse still be grounded for not abiding by airlines’ carry-on rules.
This luggage uses a micro-diamond texture such that no matter how many trips you take; your suitcase will look as good as new every time.
Samsonite Omni PC Hardside Spinner also explores 360-degree wheels. They make it super easy to move with your luggage as they manage the weight of the luggage for you. And your luggage will always be protected since it also comes with a TSA-compatible combination lock.
Drawbacks but not Deal Breakers
This suitcase does not include a side handle. You will have to use the main retractable handle to lift and remove it from overhead compartments.

- Telescoping handle that adds length and strength. Stops at 38 inch and extra-tall 42.5 inch

Travelpro is known for their outstanding quality in their luggage. They have a line of different travel bag styles, and the Maxlite 4 is one of their top sought models. With its professional styling, this carry-on rollaboard will make your journey simple and straightforward.
It is absolutely light weighing only 5.9 pounds. When you add your travel essentials, you will not be dealing with a heavy carry-on luggage to give you trouble fitting it into airplane compartments. It comes with two rollaboard wheels. Since they usually require more effort to pull, you will find that Maxlite 4 does not put any pressure on your wrists and joints because it is lightweight.
You will like that it comes with a telescoping handle that can stop at your ideal height whether at 38 inches or 42.5 inches. The handle is built using airline-grade aluminum that speaks durability. Not to mention, it boasts a honeycomb frame and polyester fabric construction that is water and stain resistant.
This suitcase can expand to 2 inches to allow packing of extra stuff. It also includes an interior lid pocket, adjustable hold-down straps, and a side accessory pocket.
For security, this luggage has durable zipper pulls that are deemed some of the best in the industry.
Drawbacks but not Deal Breakers
Maxlite 4 is prone to tipping. We find this is a common issue with two-wheeled models since they cannot stand on their own. For a stable model, you can opt for the Maxlite 3 spinner that is lighter but smaller than the Maxlite 4.
Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds 4-Wheel Carry-On Luggage
- Multi-directional 4-wheel spinners allow smooth, 360 degree movement over any rough surface for complete mobility free-weight rolling, relieving pressure from your arms while on the move

You will like that the interior has a soft lining, and it even includes zippered flaps still on the inside where you can put dirty items separate from the rest of the stuff.
On the exterior of the suitcase, you will find a U-shaped zipper pocket. It also increases the storage capacity of the luggage. The zipper is credited to take pressure even when you squeeze in an extra pair of shoes.
Drawbacks but not Deal Breakers
This suitcase will not do well on rugged surfaces. The wheels will most likely break off if you roll it on a rough path.

The Eagle Creek No Matter What 20-inch duffel is all about convenience. It will easily fit on most airline overhead compartments since it is soft sided. It is quite a durable suitcase as it showcases construction from a Bi-tech material with bartack reinforcements around all the points that are prone to tears.
The oversized wheels are all reinforced for smooth glides in all types of surfaces. If you are traveling in areas you know are going to need some more effort to pull, this luggage exempts you from such stress. You will like that it is weatherproofed meaning water will not get into the interior.
A robust handle graces the system to provide simple handling. The handle is stored in a recessed design to keep it safe from scraping or breaking when it’s not in use. It also comes with a side handle to help in lifting the suitcase up and down the stairs where the steps are too steep.
When it comes to organizing stuff, you have a stash bag on the top and a smaller compartment with No.10 lockable zippers. The inside of the duffel includes a mash panel organizer and the main compartment where most of your items will go.
Drawbacks but not Deal Breakers

If you are looking for lightweight checked luggage with spinner wheels, you will want to consider the Samsonite Mightlite 2. It is a soft side spinner weighing in at only 8 pounds. It’s not that any compromises have been made with the construction since it is made of a heavy-duty nylon fabric. It includes a samguard water-resistant coating to make it weather resistant and improve its durability.
The multi-direction spinner wheels are important in making it easy to maneuver through crowded spaces. This is because they are easy to turn and will also be easy on your joints and wrists.

Apart from the main compartment, this luggage also comes with three zippered pockets on the outside. You will have enough room to bring every essential item that you want for your trip.
Drawbacks but not Deal Breakers

TravelPro is always ahead of the game when it comes to international travel. It is evident in their Platinum Elite that this brand brings perfection in your travel. This particular checked luggage has a height of 25 inches. It is a medium-sized model that is ideal for medium and long trips.
With its tapered design, you can expand it to get two more inches when you have more than a few travel necessities to bring along. We like that its weight is easy to manage thanks to the four Magnatrac spinner wheels. If you feel the weight is still too much, you can go for the Maxlite 5 that is 2 pounds lighter than this Platinum Elite model.
With the Platinum Elite, you get a 4-stop PowerScope handle with a contoured grip. It comes with a foldout suiter that keeps clothes wrinkle-free. The suiter will fit in two suits, and it is not removable. You also have accessory pockets that will give you more organized space.
What’s more, this luggage has durable Supra zipper heads and a TSA lock to keep everything protected. It has a lifetime warranty which is unlike other checked luggage.
Drawbacks but not Deal Breakers
Like many spinner suitcases, TravelPro Platinum Elite also faces the same struggles of cruising on rough surfaces. They inhibit movement and most likely will break off if mishandled.
AmazonBasics Hardside Spinner Luggage 3-Piece Set
- Hardside spinner set - ideal for trips of any duration; set includes the 20-inch, 24-inch, and 28-inch luggage

AmazonBasics offers an affordable option to get carry-on and checked luggage size suitcases. This 3-piece set allows you to make an easy choice for all your international travels. The protective hard shell ensures that your luggage arrives in good condition. It has a scratch-resistant finish that also helps to maintain its sparkly condition.
This luggage is as good on the outside as it is on the inside. It has a 150-Denier polyester interior with dividers. For smaller items, you have three zippered compartments that are as important as the main pocket.
The telescoping handle locks into place such that together with the four spinner wheels, it is quite easy to get it rolling even when you are carrying the maximum weight limit. The short handle is securely mounted on the side to facilitate safe and comfortable lifting of your luggage.
If you are traveling large, the three suitcases can be used as they all meet airline size restrictions. But you won’t be getting a strap that can hook the three suitcases together.
Drawbacks but not Deal Breakers
The 28-inch suitcase if expanded may exceed size limitations. We don’t see why AmazonBasics included this option if it is going to be a challenge to use it.

4 Tips for Staying Healthy While On the Move!
Last Updated: Thursday, August 23, 2018 No matter what travel plans you made, becoming sick or being physically unable to travel is never good.

No matter what travel plans you made, becoming sick or being physically unable to travel is never good.
Whether it is the fatigue of jet lag, a physically demanding hike or climb, or the general wear and tear of traveling, you need to keep your body strong while you are on the move if you want to travel as well as possible.
Check out these tips that will help keep you healthy and happy while you are traveling!
1) Set Your Schedule on the First Day
It is important to set a “sleep and wake” schedule for yourself while traveling, especially if you are crossing over any time zones. A lot of people enjoy relaxing while they are traveling and avoid an alarm clock or bedtime, but this can be a costly mistake. Jet lag or other forms of travel fatigue can quickly damage your immune system and leave you susceptible to illness or physical fatigue.
If you have a lot of plans for sight-seeing or other activities while you are traveling, you cannot risk losing your physical energy. Setting an approximate bedtime and a firm wake-up time is a great way to keep your internal biorhythm on schedule and keep you rested even with a lot of activities.
2) Remain Hydrated
One of the big issues that a lot of people have while traveling is forgetting to drink enough water or eating and drinking too many dehydrating products. A lot of people rely on caffeine from coffee or energy drinks to power through their days while traveling, and then relax at night with a beer or other alcoholic beverage at night. Unfortunately, this is an unhealthy and dangerous combination.
Staying hydrated supports your immune system and entire body while you are traveling. If you are going to drink a lot of caffeine or alcohol during your travel, make sure that you are drinking more than enough water to make up the difference!
3) Choose Natural Energy Drinks
As I mentioned before, many people rely on heavily-caffeinated drinks such as coffee or pre-workout drinks to push through their travel plans. The side-effect of drinking heavily-caffeinated beverages is that your body will wear down and crash sooner, rather than later. Instead of pounding coffee or Red Bull all day, choose a natural energy provider for drinking instead.
According to professional model Anna Targoniy (who has experience working and traveling throughout the world), choosing natural energy drinks with lower caffeine such as beetroot juice or green tea can provide longer-lasting energy and numerous other health benefits.
There are many options for lower-stimulant energy drinks, and they are very helpful while you are traveling!
4) Try Intermittent Fasting and Fasted Cardio
Intermittent fasting is a growing fad in the diet world, but it does have legitimate benefits. Intermittent fasting calls for a 16-hour daily fast, while you are allowed to consume food and drinks during the other 8-hours.
One of the benefits of intermittent fasting is that your body goes through a process known as cell autophagy while fasting, which is the process where your body cleans dead cells from within. As you can imagine, this is especially important while you are traveling. Many people eat and drink more than they should while traveling. Coupled with the fact you are probably less-active than normal while you are traveling, means that your body will become heavy and lethargic over time.
Intermittent fasting is an excellent way to keep your body fresh no matter how long you are on the move! Fasted cardio is a widely debated subject, but it does have many potential benefits. TO perform “fasted cardio” you simply need to perform low-intensity cardio while in a fasted state. If you are traveling, starting your morning with a 45-minute fasted walk is an incredible way to keep your body fresh, healthy, and ready for adventure!
Concluding Thoughts | Tips for Staying Healthy While Traveling
When you are adventuring somewhere new in life, the last situation that you want to happen is that your body is sick or tired and you cannot explore as much as you want. However, this type of situation does happen more often than you can imagine.
To defend your body (and your travel plans) use the tips listed above and follow basic health and wellness rules while you are on the move!
