    I would just like to say, I bought from the Encircled company (I asked for them as a gift more specifically). I was so excited to get my hands on some stylish travel gear. I was quickly disappointed. I bought a pair of the reversible leggings and one of their shirts. After just one use, the $98 pair of leggings had holes all along the stitching. The company refused to refund me or replace them and only offered store credit, despite these being a birthday gift, and insisted that I pay to send the leggings back as well. I am so disappointed about my now ripped leggings in addition to the customer service I received.
    So beware the quality and the customer service if you decide to buy from this company.

    • Hi Devyn,

      As you are well aware, you have posted this same comment on 5+ travel blog reviews (as of tonight).

      We responded to your customer service inquiry via email this evening, and processed a FULL refund to original purchaser of the leggings AND let you keep the leggings, despite the fact that the leggings were 50% off ($50 purchase price), final sale/discontinued/no returns and purchased over 3 months ago.

      Our customers are extremely important to us, as is our quality, and we do our best to work with customers for a peaceful resolution.

      We have worked incredibly hard for our reputation online, and build a brand based on repeat customers, and using the finest ethically-sourced and sustainable materials. However, like any product, there is always the one-off chance of a missed stitch or defective fabric. It is rare, but it does occur.

      I quit my job in November to pursue my dream of building an ethically made, versatile travel clothing business. I work every day, every weekend, and go above and beyond for our customers. At the end of the day, myself, and my team realize that not every customer is satisfiable.

      We have done our best to resolve this issue and ask that you please stop posting negative and inaccurate comments on blog posts without reason.

      If you have further questions about the issue, I ask that you contact us via email by clicking on my name above.

      Best,
      Kristi
      Founder, Encircled

      I had the same thing happen with my leggings from Encircled! While I’m glad it wasn’t just me, I’m sorry that you had it happen too.

      • Hi Mallory,

        Sorry to hear about this! Please send us an email + we will help you out.

Nairobi might be the only place in the world where you can spot rhinos with a city skyline behind them 🦏🌆
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We visited Nairobi National Park with three kids three and under (!!) and it ended up being one of the easiest, most rewarding safari experiences.

The wildest part? It’s literally just a short drive from the city center—you can go from downtown Nairobi to spotting lions and rhinos in under 30 minutes.

You can self-drive or hire a private guide. Either way, the wildlife viewing is incredible (we saw SO many rhinos).

Add a picnic inside the park, then pair it with a visit to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see rescued baby elephants and rhinos. 

If you’re visiting Nairobi, this is an absolute must. Especially with little ones.

Thousands of unread emails. Hundreds of text messages I haven’t responded to.

Flights, content creation, school logistics, edits, visas — usually all open at the same time. When you’re juggling that many tabs, you need a laptop that can actually keep up.

My laptop is powered by AMD Ryzen AI and is built for real multitasking, lets me run AI tools directly on my laptop (even offline), and keeps my editing workflow moving fast.

Multitasking is a lifestyle. Good thing this one’s built for it.

There’s something really special about finding a place that feels like your own childhood… and what you always dreamed of for your own kid 🤍

Tucked away in the Cape Winelands, about an hour from Cape Town, South Africa, @camp.canoe is one of those places that somehow feels both completely off-grid and perfectly convenient.

Set on one of my favorite family-friendly wine farms, @boschendal, you get the best of both worlds—wide open space, no distractions, and just enough nearby to make it effortless with little ones (and fun for the adults).

Days here look like:
– swimming in the dam
– slow mornings outside
– wood-fired hot tub soaks
– braai (bbq) under the stars

It’s a little bit luxe, it’s nostalgic, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay just a little bit longer. ✨

Spending a year abroad sounds exciting… until you see the planning involved.

Flights, edits, contracts, itineraries — not to mention the admin of being a mom. I’m usually running everything at once, so having a laptop that can keep up makes a huge difference.

I’ve been using an AMD Ryzen AI–powered laptop to keep everything organized, run AI tools even when WiFi isn’t available, and work from wherever we happen to be in the world.

So I can finish what I need to do… and get back to what’s most important ❤️
