Hi I'm Hayleigh. Based in Queensland, I have a passion for outdoor adventures like many other Aussies. I love spending my downtime, surrounded by my friends and family camping on the beach, in the hinterlands, or on the islands around my region.
Despite growing up with 2 households and packing a bag on a weekly occurrence, you'd think I'd be a packing pro by now at 28. This is definitely not the case..! My recent backpacking trip around Southeast Asia revealed – it's not my packing skills that are shocking, but the equipment I use.

During the week I'm a corporate Girly and travel frequently for my job. I had so much trouble finding a bag that had the versatility for multiple uses both during the week and in my downtime. Fed up with my belongings floating aimlessly in my oversized bag, I invested in a quality backpack that promotes organised packing, streamlines airport experiences, and secures my valuables. Surprisingly, I found heaps of other Aussies were facing similar challenges, leading me to create a solution.

I created MyGetawayEssentials – a line of versatile backpacks and travel essentials designed to simplify packing, safeguard belongings, and elevate travel experiences. Since our launch, we've helped 100's of Aussies make the switch to smarter packing and secure traveling.

As a small business, every order matters, and the support we've received has been incredible. I started this venture to share the benefits of smart travel and provide the right gear for the job.
