Travel Essentials

A list of random items I consider my holy grail travel items. I will keep updating this as it grows! This post contains affiliate links.

International travel adapter - works in 200+ countries and features USB and USB-C spots.

Individually wrapped toothbrushes - I'm really grossed out by carrying my toothbrush around. These are a lifesaver.

Individually wrapped micellar water wipes - Great for taking off makeup or refreshing on the go. I have very sensitive skin and I love these.

Toiletry Bag - I have an older version of the bag and I LOVE it. It holds so much and is so easy to just hang in the bathroom.

Bose Headphones - I bought these during a sale and I'm so glad I did. They are so comfortable.

Packing Cubes - I love these compression packing cubes. I try to be an organized packer, but I also tend to overpack so this helps.

Evian Face Mist - This is my favorite product to have on a plane. It feels SO good. Maybe it's a gimmick. Maybe it's ridiculous. But I don't care.

Downy Wrinkle Releaser - Packing a ton of stuff into a tiny suitcase means your clothes will be wrinkled. I love using this to refresh my clothes as well.

Tide Pens - Because I will always spill things on myself. Always.

Electrolyte Powder - Hydration is key when traveling and these are my favorite - less sugar and they taste good.

AirFly - Connects your own headphones to the plane TV screen. Genius.

Travel laundry bag - Takes up zero space, but keeps your dirty clothes separate from your clean clothes.

Water Bottle - See above about hydration.

Tripod - When you travel solo, taking pictures of yourself is not always easy. This is my favorite tripod. It's small, easy to use and hard to break.

Electrolyte Tablets - Easier than having to mix it in your water.

Carry On Suitcase (Rolling) - My Target suitcase has held up for five years now and is still going strong. It's a dupe for this one that I'll probably buy whenever this one bites the dust.

Carry On Suitcase (Soft) - I just purchased this Calpak bag and really love it.

Fuzzy Socks - When you fly overnight and you want to take your shoes off, going barefoot isn't an option. I pack fuzzy socks to wear instead.

Travel blanket - Sometimes I use it as a pillow, sometimes I use it as a blanket. Either way, it's a must have.

Portable Charger - I carry at least two with me. Other good options: one, two and three.

Travel Pouches - I have several of these and I use them to organize my carry on. One for electronics, one for toiletries, etc. I like these because they are easy to wipe down.

Laundry Detergent - Sometimes you gotta wash your socks in the sink.
