William Roam is an American-made brand focused on crafting high-quality travel essentials for hoteliers and gents on the go. While folks can buy individual toiletries from the website (including shower gels, moisturizers, shampoos, lotions, and everything in between), the company also boasts a range of travel sets that mix-n-match products for a more streamlined user experience.

One such set is the aforementioned Steam Travel Set, which features 15 different products from the William Roam line. While this number might seem like a lot, it’s pretty evenly split between fun-sized toiletries (like aloe soap, body lotion, shaving cream, toothpaste, bath salts, shampoo, and conditioner) and practical must-haves (shower cap, mending kit, shoe mitten, cotton swabs, shave kit, and toothbrush). Long story short: No matter the journey, the Steam set aims to have you covered. In fact, one of our editors took the kit to Europe last week to see how it would fair and found it to be more than enough for a week’s trip. 

Though the collection is indeed diverse, the toiletry items do share one defining characteristic — they all feature Meadowfoam oil sourced directly from the Willamette Valley in Oregon (The Manual’s home state). The oil is well-known for its skin-softening and antioxidant properties and has been shown to lock-in moisture for all-day comfort. In addition to these exfoliating benefits, the substance also has a warm fragrance that’s cozy without being too pungent.

But where oh where to store these fantastic ointments, tinctures, and balms? Luckily, William Roam has you covered. All the products come packaged in a personal ditty bag, which features a nylon lining and satin zipper pull. Plop the kit on your hotel bathroom counter and let your new self-care routine spill forth!

The STEAM set currently retails for $35. For more on the collection, check it out at William Roam!

The growing appeal of solo travel: Experience new places, your way
Tailor-made experiences for the solo traveler

Freedom — isn’t that what travel’s all about? Going where you want, when you want, lets you experience new people and places, enhancing your perspective while letting you unwind. For some, that could be a surf trip to Hawaii. For others, it might entail a days-long hike through South American wilderness.

But when traveling with friends or family, you often have to compromise. In a group, consensus matters when picking a destination or a restaurant, which can leave some pleased and others feeling like they missed out. Maybe that’s why a new travel trend is on the rise.

Pompeii’s new visitor cap aims to protect history — how it affects your travel plans
Only 20,000 people will be allowed to access Pompeii each day.
Pompeii

In a move to safeguard its ancient ruins, the Roman archaeological site of Pompeii began limiting the number of daily visitors to 20,000 on November 15, 2024. This decision comes after a significant surge in tourism, with the site experiencing a record 36,000 visitors on the first Sunday of October, when entry was free. This growing influx of tourists has raised concerns about the preservation of the site, prompting the management to take action.

The park’s director, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, said that reducing the effects of visitors at Pompeii was important for both conservation and safety reasons.

Making your way through the airport can be a (literal) drag, from trying to keep your bulky items in order to deal with delays and last-minute gate changes. Luckily, Nomatic luggage is lightweight, effortlessly glides on its spinning wheels, and looks good while doing it.
Just in time for the holidays, the Nomatic brand has released a sleek carry-on, the Method Luggage Carry-On. The team boldly claims they "broke science" by devising a bag with 20% more packing space than comparable models. It's also 15% lighter weight than other carry-ons that are the same size, literally taking a burden off of the savvy traveler.
But with so many luxury travel bags on the market, is this one worth its price tag, and what actually fits inside? After a few weeks of testing The Method Carrry-On up close and personal, here are my thoughts on what it does best and who it's best suited for.
