When I travel in and around Australia I don’t want to be lumbered with heavy travel accessories, and I’m sure you don’t either. Luckily, I have discovered some travel gear and accessories to help me pack better and lighter. What I have found is collapsable travel gear and accessories. They are proving to be a godsend as they let me travel with more items because the items are compact and easy to carry and pack. And they can be used in a variety of settings including while camping, hostelling, living in a van, while hiking, on a picnic or even while living at home. Here is my current list of collapsable travel gear and accessories which I expect will become your new best friends too.

Advantages of Collapsable Travel Gear and Accessories
From using collapsable travel gear and accessories I have discovered a number of advantages to them. They include:
- Space Saving – because they collapse to small things they save on space
- Light – most of them are made from light materials like silicone which are non-toxic
- Durable and Strong
- Easy to move and transport because they collapse
- Handy to have as you don’t know what is available at your next stop
- Can be used for both hot and cold food and water
- Easy to clean and safe to handle as they don’t break
- Most are environmentally friendly
- Cleaning them is a breeze, you just wash them like other items
- Reusable, time and time again.
Disadvantages of Collapsable Travel Gear and Accessories
I haven’t really found any yet. But, I am wondering how long some of the items will last, because I am a ‘heavy user’ of my items. Meaning, they get a lot of use. I guess time will only tell. But the silicone that many of the collapsable travel items are made out of seems really strong.
