With these travel must haves you’ll be ready for any trip big or small and become the packing expert you were destined to be. All it takes is a little preparation and these handy tips. Happy Travels!
#1 Draw String Makeup Bag
I received this amazing item as a Christmas gift and haven’t been able to let it go since! My makeup stays in this bag 24/7, even when I’m not traveling. It’s small, compact, and keeps everything in one place ready to go at all times!
#2 Cord Organizer
The truth is that I originally bought this item for my husband after seeing him constantly rummage through his backpack to find his numerous charging cables, headphones, external chargers etc. I was also tired of him asking me where they were when he couldn’t find them! When I noticed this was collecting dust on the shelf I decided to give it a try myself and was shocked at how much I used it, needed it, and now cannot live without it!
#3 Compression Packing Cubes
Having to pack for cold weather is something I really hate especially when sticking to a carry on only rule! Luckily I found some compression bags that helped me pack a few large jackets for my recent trip to Japan, no vacuum needed! However, I recently found these NEW cubes that combine your traditional organizing packing cubes and compress all your items…a two in one bonus! Not only will these things keep you super organized they are sure to save you space and get your closer to your carry on only goals.
#4 Portable Charger
These have been around for quite a while now but keep getting smaller and more powerful as the years go by. They also seem to be like lost socks in the washing machine, I’ve owned quite a few of these over the years and can’t seem to find them when I need it! Looks like I’ll be going on Amazon myself to stock up on another one, you really shouldn’t travel without it!
#5 Brita Water Bottle
Having a fresh bottle of water with you when you travel is essential! You might be stuck on a long drive, in a place where drinking tap water is not recommended or out on a long walk in the sun. This is an easy way to bring water from your hotel or grab some on the go without buying another plastic bottle. Here’s a chance to be prepared and do something good for the environment!
#6 Luggage Scale
My carry on always gets through on most US Airlines but when it comes to international carriers they almost always force me to check it (for a fee of course!). Having this on hand is a great to way to make sure each item adheres to whatever bag rules they may throw at you and that you don’t over pack after buying all those souvenirs!
#7 International Travel Adapter
Did you know there are 15 different plug & socket types? Me neither! Luckily I was gifted this universal travel adapter preparing me for any unique plug I may find on my journey. It even has extra USB ports to help you charge more than 1 device at a time!
