@kayli.kiing: more on each 👇🏼✨ I have the Sony xM5 and LOVE them. I really went back and forth on getting a cheaper pair or splurging on these. Since I wear them nearly everyday (traveling or not) I am very glad I spent the extra money to get ones with a longer battery life and more comfort. For the Kindle I have the Kindle Oasis. I use Kindle Unlimited for most of my downloads. I tried Libby, but most of the books I wanted always had an 8+ week wait time so I gave up on that. Yes, there are many other more affordable Kindle versions out there. The Paperwhite is a great option that does pretty much everything the Oasis does! Okay, now for Global Entry. Global Entry is a pass that only works for RETURNING to the states. You skip the customs line and go to a much shorter line. It costs $100 and some credit cards will waive this fee for you. It includes TSA Precheck and is valid for 5 years. The whole process took months for me but it can vary for other people! #backpacker #seasiatravel #backpackingadventures #traveltips #travelpacking
