By

Camper vans and travel trailers are springing up around the country — with #vanlife and #camperlife becoming more and more the norm as people pack up their homes to see the world and live life on the road. While many travelers choose the bare-bones route, bringing only what they need, Airstream reveals a way to live the camper life in absolute style — with the Globetrotter.

For those that have the means, the Globetrotter serves as a sort of modern-day fairytale home. This ultra-sleek camper combines the elements of adventure with the spirit of European design. The camper is effortlessly beautiful inside and out, offering clean lines and elegant features. The simple, classic aluminum exterior walls make for an attractive, stylish profile.

The designers craftily utilized every inch of space within the 27-foot-long interior and included only modern, upscale amenities. The Globetrotter features a 37 by 79-inch space that functions as a dinette, lounge, and bed, an additional 63-inch lounge/bed, a 6.7 cubic foot refrigerator, a gas oven and microwave or convection oven option, a pantry, wardrobe space, a beautiful lavatory, separate shower area, and a bedroom with nightstands on either side of the bed.

I had written off bicycles, until e-bikes unlocked an entire world for me
Himiway C5

I have a lot working against me when it comes to riding a traditional bicycle: collapsed foot arches, bad knees, and nerve issues that extend into my pelvic floor and make it challenging for me to sit for any extended time on a standard bicycle seat. For all those reasons, I gave up on any chance of comfortably bicycling as an adult.

But when Himiway offered to let me try its new C5 e-bike, which features a motorcycle-style saddle that is both wider and longer than the average bicycle seat, I reconsidered. I cautiously hoped it could improve my ability to enjoy bike riding. However, I didn't expect it to completely change my life for the better.
The making of an e-bike guy
From the Engwe M20 to the Ride1up Revv1, e-bikes have embraced the motorcycle aesthetic, and the larger seats that go with them. For most riders, it’s just a cool look. For me, it opened a whole new world.

I ditched my car for a month of e-biking. Here’s what I learned
Aventon Abound rider with plants and store bought items on road.

Since settling into my life as an "e-bike guy," I've been testing new bikes left and right. So when someone suggested trying to replace my car with an e-bike for a month, it didn't take much to convince me. With a growing variety of bikes at my disposal, it sounded exciting to challenge myself and to find out just how much of my normal routine could be maintained with two wheels and a battery.

Though I live in a rural county just outside of Atlanta, my townhome community is located right beside a commercial strip packed with restaurants, department stores, banks, and gyms. So while I've historically used my car to get around, I've always known I could easily reach anything I need on foot or by bike in a mere few minutes if needed. Now, it was time to put that knowledge into action.

Imagine this: The summer heat is baking down on you from above. You're close to overheating, and you desperately need to cool down. The problem is you don't have quick access to a vehicle, nor can you retreat indoors to cool down quickly with central AC. Drinking some water and staying hydrated might help, to a point, but otherwise, you're stuck in that heat, dare we say, suffering. That's the perfect time to throw on TORRAS' COOLiFY Cyber, a cutting-edge wearable air conditioner. Wait, what? That's right, it slips right over your neck to keep you cool and comfortable.
