Essential travel gear: Sigg water bottle
One of the items that I never leave home without is my metal water bottle. I love that I no longer buy overpriced plastic bottles of water on my travels – it’s better for the environment and my health to drink out of this reusable metal container. Plus it leaves me with more cash to spend on other things.
Don’t let the European penchant for bottled water fool you – tap water is not only potable but delicious in most parts of this continent. This bottle travels with me even when I fly – I just have to remember to empty it out before I head through security. Once through, I can head to the nearest bathroom and fill it up from the tap. I have the kind with a loop top (like the one pictured), which allows me to attach it to my bag with a carabiner if there’s no room inside.
