Most Important
If you travel a lot, I HIGHLY recommend protecting your passport with a clear cover. (If it's not clear, customs makes you remove it from the holder.) I learned the hard way that if the emblem on the front has slightly worn off, your passport is cons...
Clear Passport Protector
While dealing with airport admin, it really helps keeping all your most important bits in one, easy to find place. That's why I love this RFID blocking travel wallet. Passport, cards, money all in one place. But my favourite thing? It has a place to ...
RFID Travel Wallet
Long layovers and dodgy USB ports at airports can be a frustrating combo. Carrying this adapter while travelling has saved me that headache! No matter which country I land in and how many broken USB ports there are, this charger always has my back! A...
Anker Nano 5-Port Travel Adapter
Anker cables have never let me down and a 6ft cable is something you never knew you needed until you have it. No more reaching in awkward positions because the outlet is a bit far, and your cable is a bit short. This cable is the best, super durable ...

Luggage Peace of Mind
These straps give your suitcase a bit of extra security when it’s being thrown around in transit, especially if your bag is slightly overpacked and the zipper is working overtime. They also make your luggage much easier to spot at baggage claim.
Luggage Straps

Luggage Tracker Tags (For Android)
These budget-friendly AirTag alternatives help you keep an eye on checked luggage from your phone. If a bag gets delayed or misrouted, you can quickly check its location instead of waiting on airport updates.

Upon Arrival
Getting to your destination and immediately having phone connection can be a huge relief. An eSIM is a massive help if you don't want to hunt down where to buy a physical SIM or don't want to spend a fortune on roaming charges.
Airalo eSIMs For Staying Connected Abroad
Another eSIM option. Arriving somewhere new with phone signal already sorted takes a lot of stress out of travel. An eSIM lets you get connected right away without needing to find a physical SIM card or rely on expensive roaming fees.
