It's fair to say that Jenny Han's long-awaited final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty has fans more invested than ever in the conclusion to this swoony, coming-of-age love story. The show has always been filled with scenic eye candy, including the picturesque-and fictional-Cousins Beach on Cape Cod (but actually filmed in Wilmington, N.C.)."

"So, when we were taken 3,500+ miles away, I was ready for full-fledged travel wanderlust.

These must-haves, including a durable carry-on and spacious travel backpack, are timeless essentials that make any trip smoother, more comfortable, and more stylish, whether you're Paris-bound or just plotting your escape after breaking a few hearts.
