Health & Wellbeing
These are more necessary, just to keep us feeling our best while we are on the go.
I have the worlds clumsiest husband...enough said! This is always in my purse.
Mini First Aid Kit
I'm OBSESSED with these Supergreens. They may look completely gross, but the Strawberry Lime flavours tastes insanely good. I have this after my breakfast every morning, and always feel great.
Green Superfoods | MYPROTEIN™
I'm notorious for not drinking enough (thanks to my gastric bypass), so electrolytes are my sure fire way to keep myself feeling my best while we are on the move. There are TONS of flavours, but Watermelon is my favourite 🍉❤️
Watermelon Electrolytes
When we're not sure just how safe the tap water is, we use these to keep ourselves safe!
Water Purification Tablets
I've had Eczema for 25 years, and it once got so bad I couldn't leave the house for a month! This has changed my life, and I don't flare up on my face at all now <3
Delhicious Migh-Tea Moisture Body Balm
Comfort
These may not be absolutely necessary, but they don't hurt!
We LOVE to travel, but I find airports and public transport super overstimulating. These have been a game changer, and leave me feeling relaxed whilst we get from A to B.
Noise-Canceling Headphones
I am an Asics girly through and through. I've had my pair for over 10 years, and they are the first thing I pack when we are jetting off. They are so comfortable, so sturdy, and just a dream when you're on the go.
ASICS Sneakers
Aside from taking selfies, we use our selfie stick as a little “TV Holder” so we don't have to get cramp from holding our phones on flights/trains.
Selfie Sticks/Mini Cinema
I got sick and tired of being Callum's pillow so got him this- game changer!
Neck Pillow
I exclusively use Spotify for my music and podcasts. I find the time goes so much quicker when I'm listening to Killer Queens or a Kara and Nate podcast!
Spotify
Safety
What we use to keep ourselves (and our stuff!) safe.
So hotels always offer safes, right? But how can you know they can be trusted. We never take the risk, and just use this portable safe instead. Attach it to pipes, balconies, anything that isn't able to be moved and keep your valuables safe!
Portable Travel Safe
A crossbody bag is a great way to deter pickpockets. I always wear mine tucked under my coat, and it is completely invisible. I've fallen for a couple of clipboard scams before, and never had anything stolen from me thanks to this little hack!

Packing
What we use when we are away!
WE ONLY USE IT SUITCASES. We have tried other brands, but this is the brand that has been the best value for money.
It Luggage
These are great in suitcases, backpacks, handbags…anything really! They just keep everything nice and organised. No underwear flying out my bag here!
Packing Cubes
Travel Resources
We would trust Skyscanner with our lives…and we definitely trust them with our travel plans! They have a great “everywhere” feature which shows you the cheapest flights from one airport to anywhere in the world.
Skyscanner
kind of a no brainer, but it is also great for helping with metro/bus/train routes if you don't fancy figuring it out yourself.
Google Maps
