Keep your travel essentials organized.
Choose the suitable travel for your trip
The most important thing when choosing a suitcase is finding one that can t all of your belongings comfortably while still carrying on any airline. We recommend going with something around 45 inches wide by 30 inches deep. This size allows you plenty of room to store clothes, shoes, accessories, etc., without having them fall out during ight. If you are traveling internationally, be sure to check if there are restrictions on luggage sizes.
Now that you’ve chosen the perfect travel bag let’s talk about what else you should include in your suitcase.
We’ve compiled a list of essential travel accessories that you absolutely cannot leave home without:
Wallet and passport holder
If you’re going somewhere new or are planning a long journey, make sure that you pack an extra wallet with cash in emergencies like lost luggage or theft. Also, keep some money handy in case you need to buy something from the local market. If you don’t want to carry around a bulky purse, consider getting one made out of leather to avoid getting scratched up easily.
Reusable water bottle
If you plan to drink lots of water while traveling, consider investing in one of these reusable bottles that are BPA-free and made with stainless steel or aluminum. They come in different sizes, so they’ll fit in to most carry-on bags.
Travel pillow
If you don’t bring an inflatable pillow, consider getting one as part of your packing list. This one from Travel Pillow fits under most seats and comes in two different sizes, so you can choose how much support you need. They come in handy during nights and are great for napping on planes.
A good pair of sunglasses
You’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors, and you don’t want to ruin your eyesight with the sun or any other kind of light. Get yourself some great shades that will protect them from harmful rays while still looking stylish.
An umbrella
It can get pretty rainy in many parts of the world, so it is crucial to have an umbrella handy at all times.
Packing Cubes
If you’re going somewhere warm or humid, consider bringing along a small plastic storage cube instead of just stung everything into your suitcase. These cubes t neatly inside each other, so there’s no wasted space when traveling. They also help protect delicate clothing and shoes from getting crushed during transit.
On-the-Go Detergent
Detergents work well when traveling because there aren’t as many options available where you’re going. Tide Free & Clear, which has no added dyes or perfumes, and Seventh Generation laundry soap, which doesn’t leave residue behind. The best part about using these types of detergents? They don’t require water! Just add hot water and shake until foamy — no measuring required!
A Portable Hotspot
Gadget when traveling internationally is a portable Wi-Fi router called Air Beam Pro 2 because it allows connecting multiple devices simultaneously. This means no waiting around while someone else connects to the internet — which often happens when using hotel Wi-Fi.
Eye Drops
“If I get sick during a long ight, I use eye drops because they’re easy to take care of and won’t mess up other stuff in my bag.
Travel Scales
“When I travel, I weigh myself before leaving home and again when arriving back home. A digital bathroom scale instead of bringing along a traditional weight scale. They’re much lighter and take up less space.
Hand sanitizer
If you don’t want to carry around an entire tube of hand sanitizer with you everywhere you go, consider purchasing individual packets instead. This is especially useful if you’ll be traveling in areas where soap isn’t readily available, or cleanliness standards are low.
Camera
Whether you want to capture memories or document crucial moments in life, having a camera with you will ensure you don’t miss out on anything special. The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II offers excellent image quality and features such as Wi-Fi connectivity so you can share photos instantly online.
Headphones
If you plan on listening to music while traveling, invest in some headphones.
Walking shoes
If you plan to explore cities or hike around trails, pack comfortable walking shoes. For an extra layer of protection against blisters, consider wearing socks inside these sneakers.
Tripod
A tripod will help ensure sharp photos when shooting landscapes, architecture, and other subjects where lighting conditions are less than ideal.
Pajamas
If you plan on staying somewhere overnight, pack pj’s, so you don’t end up sleeping in wrinkled clothes.
This set from Lululemon will be sure to t well while still being comfortable enough to sleep in.
Sunscreen
We recommend packing SPF 50+ sunscreen as part of your first aid kit because sunburn isn’t fun. Plus, it’ll help protect against skin cancer later in life.
