Essentials for Every Trip:

  • Documents: Pack your passport, visas, and any necessary travel documents. Make copies of these important documents and keep them separate from the originals.

My go to is the Amazon Basics RFID Travel Passport Wallet Organizer, 10 x 5 Inches, Black, Solid!

There are plenty of pockets! The quality and versatility of the wallet is great. I have no problem fitting all my cash, cards, passports and even my phone tucks inside nicely. I love the slick design and how it keeps everything neatly organized for travel.

  • Toiletries: Pack essential toiletries in travel-sized containers, keeping in mind airline liquid restrictions for carry-on luggage.

My Amazon favorite is the BAGSMART Toiletry Bag Travel Bag with Hanging Hook, Water-resistant Makeup Cosmetic Bag Travel Organizer for Accessories, Shampoo, Full-size Container, Toiletries

I enjoy the overall style, organization, and storage space that this cosmetic case provides. it is super functional, useful, and easy to keep everything organized. There are more than enough pockets for my products, and the hanging feature makes it easy to use in the bathroom. And I love all the fun colors it comes in.

Tech Must-Haves:

  • Phone and Charger: Your phone is a lifeline for navigation, communication, and capturing memories. Don’t forget a portable charger to keep it juiced up.

My Amazon favorite is the INIU Portable Charger, Slimmest 10000mAh 5V/3A Power Bank, USB C in&Out High-Speed Charging Battery Pack, External Phone Powerbank Compatible with iPhone and Samsung.

For a simple phone charger, I love the appearance, quality and battery life of the power bank. Hands dow this charger holds its charge…for a long time and is easy to use. It also has the great portability, as it fits perfect in a small bag.

  • Travel Scale: Never be overweight again! Having this handy will make sure your bags are within the weight your airline allows, and no fees will be charged.

My Amazon favorite is the Etekcity Luggage Scale, Digital Suitcase Weight Scales for Travel Essential Accessories, Portable Hanging Fishing Scale for Travel Bag Tags, Cruise Ship Essentials, 110 Pounds, Battery Included.

I have gone through a few scales, but this one has been the best with accuracy, value, performance, ease of use, and usefulness of the weigh scale.

  • Travel Pillow: A comfortable neck pillow can make a big difference on long flights or bus rides.
  • Water Bottle: A reusable water bottle is essential for staying hydrated, especially when exploring new places.
  • Universal Adapter: If you’re traveling internationally, a universal adapter will ensure you can charge your devices anywhere in the world.
