items Now that travel is a thing again, I'm trying to take regular trips to see my family and recharge my batteries in familiar territory. Because I keep a capsule wardrobe at my family home, I can take a cabin bag and get the hassle of airport time down t...
Yes, this is a nappy bag. I use a hand me down from my sister as a cabin luggage. It fits most airlines and has handy pockets for snacks and travel documents. The back opens to access anything you have stored at the bottom too.
Lekebaby
This one is the perfect size to use for Kindle books as it fits quite easily in my hand. It can be used for internet access too if you don't mind a slightly outdated looking browser.
2022 Black Fire HD 8 Tablet, 8” HD, 32 GB
I bought a refurbished iphone as a cheap option. The battery evaporates and so I have this power bank as a back up. Will keep charged for quite a while and means I still have phone access even on a long travel day.
Anker 10000mAh Ultra-Compact Power Bank
I use this laptop every day. So often it feels like an extension of my body sometimes. It has a touchscreen and folds on hinges so you can use either as a tablet or a screen. Great for watching videos if you get stuck in an airport. Also quite lightw...
HP Pavilion x360 Laptop | Versatile 2-in-1 Design | HP® Store
This I mostly use for drawing. It is very responsive with the screen of my laptop. The lack of an off switch is annoying though as I have to remember to charge the pen before I want to use it.

Floradix Organic Lemon Verbena Tea 15 Bag (2 Pack)
Always have to have at least one memoir on the go. Not a beach read this one but combines my interest in travel, art and history.
Things I Didn’t Know: A Memoir
These are the best to fit into a bag if like me, you are paranoid about getting stuck somewhere without a change of underwear. They fold/roll easily so don't take up much space either.
Microfiber Boyshort
I use these every night. For loud airports they are a godsend. They come with a small plastic case so you won't lose them in a bag. They squeeze easily and expand to fit the ear. The cut the most sound of any earplugs I have tried.
Quies Foam Earplugs - Pack Of 3
These reduce so much hassle at security. I just pack them with the stuff that has to displayed and take it out for the security check. They keep everything tidy in the bag and you don't have to paw through your stuff to find anything.
