Nomadix Towels: No More Smelly, Dirty Towels while Traveling

Have you ever been on out camping or on the beach, or like me this week, camping on a beach? If you had to bring your own towel, then you’ll know exactly what I went through.

I don’t mind roughing it, and since I didn’t have that much space in my bag, I brought just one towel, meant to last me for a few nights of camping out on the beach. By day, I used it to sit on and dry off, and by night, it would dry on a tree. By the end of the third day, that thing smelled. Like really badly. I wish I had a towel that could have stayed fresh and clean the whole time.

Too bad I didn’t have a Nomadix towel. It had all the ideal features of the towel that I needed. It’s made out of 100 percent recycled material, and it’s good for camping, the beach, and even to towel off after yoga. It’s also quick dry, antimicrobial, and way more packable than that thick beach towel I had with me while I camped out on the white-sand, crystal-clear tourquoise-watered Flamenco Beach in Puerto Rico. It’s also super absorbent, reversible, light weight, durable, and for those of us who hate that musty smell, quick drying!

And for those of you who like to have a little personal touch on your camping or beach towel, the Nomadix towel has a number of designs, colors and patterns for you to choose from a cool palm desert print, to earthy Baja stripes. Now I just have to get one so that next time I’m camping on the beach I’m stuck with a dirty towel that smells like something I would not want to put near my body. Now I just need to decide on which Nomadix towel to get.

Looking for adventure and culture? This city is the best in the world for urban hiking
Here's the world's #1 city for outdoor lovers
Rio de Janeiro

As an outdoor enthusiast, one of the top things I look for in a travel destination is proximity to the outdoors. I'm certainly not averse to pitching tents, but sometimes it's nice to mix in a bit of urban excitement to my travels. Sports Shoes, a UK running retail brand, just completed a study that analyzed the top urban areas for hikers on break. My personal favorite hiker-friendly city is Seattle, which squeaked in at number 12. The number one spot goes to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The winner was decided through two primary variables: the number of hikes in the area and the average rating and reviews of those hikes. This was averaged out into a hikeability score out of 100, and the only one to get a perfect score was Rio de Janeiro. With a total of 334 hikes averaging a rating of 4.8 stars, this city is officially the world's number one urban area for hikers.

An icon of the all-American road trip meets an icon of mid-century modern architecture in the all-new 2026 Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian Limited Edition Travel Trailer. By combining Airstream's unmistakable travel trailer design ethos with Wright's Usonian principles, the result is something truly elegant, timeless, and modern. But it'll only be available to a select few.
Everything we know about the Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian Limited Edition Travel Trailer

Many of the features and design elements in this one-of-a-kind, 28-foot travel trailer are classic Airstream. But it also features a few firsts. Most notable is the dual-purpose lounge/sleep area anchored by a pair of twin beds that convert to a king (the largest bed ever in an Airstream) with the push of a button. Exclusive bolster pillows, tailored slipcovers, and quilted coverlets round out the space. The front lounge also transforms seamlessly between dinette and desk as needed, making this a true live/play/work travel trailer. The entire interior is awash in daylight thanks to 29 total windows—more than any other Airstream in history.

Capilano Bridge: A gateway to BC’s rainforest, minutes from downtown Vancouver
My guide to a perfect day at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
A pictur of the Capilano bridge surrounded by evergreens and empty

Just 15 minutes outside of downtown Vancouver, B.C., you'll find the Capilano Bridge, a 450-foot-long cedar-planked walkway placed 230 feet above the valley floor. While worth its own pilgrimage, the bridge is more than a one-hit wonder. It's one of dozens of attractions in Capilano Suspension Bridge Park's 27 acres of aerial walkways, carved totem poles, and mist-threaded rainforest. 

The coveted Park pulls off something rare: immersive, big, nature paired with all the creature comforts a visitor could want. While most people come to cross the Capilano Bridge, I opted to explore the other impressive aerial structures and bridges on site, which are equally remarkable and have fewer crowds.
