Backpacking Essentials
These are my top favorites for backpacking!
Travel Clothes Line. I have used this everywhere I have gone. You have to dry something pretty much everywhere and sometimes do your own laundry.
Retractable Portable Clothesline for Travel
You will have to do your own laundry sometimes and these are perfect for packing and the environment!
Earth Breeze Laundry Detergent Sheets - Fresh Scent
This is a LIFESAVER when traveling to countries without drinkable water (and there are a lot of them). Buying water can get expensive as it adds up and it's not good for the environment with all the plastic bottles. I 100% recommend this. This brand ...
Life Straw Durable Water Bottle
These locks are sooo amazing! TSA Approved and perfect for any luggage or for a lock at your hostels!

Wonderful compression packing cubes! Normal packing cubes make it much harder to fit everything in your backpack/suitcase.
BAGAIL Compression Packing Cubes Travel Accessories
Affordable backpack that compacts to a very small size and easy to pack. Having a bag you can take when you want to go out on a tour, a walk or anywhere without having to worry about unpacking everything from a different bag is a life saver!

Toiletries
These are all my favorite traveling toiletries. I only bring carry on for every trip I take. So these have helped me fit everything in that as well.
This scrubber is great and can fit most any place because it is flexible. You get really dirty while backpacking sometimes or just traveling in general and you'll need a good scrub. I use this every shower.
Avilana Exfoliating Silicone Body Scrubber (Gray)
These are great for the environment, affordable, and awesome for travel!
SeaTurtle Plant-Based Bristles, Bamboo Toothbrushes
This is the only body soap I will ever use. Its super cheap but REALLY gets you clean especially when you are traveling and constantly sweating.

If you want things that help you be more comfortable while on a plane, at a hostel, or all the in-betweens of traveling this is the list for you!
This is great if you will be flying or on a bus/train a lot. It helps support your neck and head so you can get some rest!
BCOZZY Neck Pillow for Travel Double Support
These are great if you are sleeping in hostels or for any kind of transport where you want to sleep like airplanes!
LKY DIGITAL Sleep Mask for Side Sleeper, 100% Blackout
If you struggle sleeping with noise in the room these will absolutely be a lifesaver in hostels!

Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) Wireless Earbuds
(Non-Essential) The reason I recommend an ipad is it can be used for so many things and if you get a keyboard it can replace a laptop. You can use it for watching shows, journaling, video editing, or anything you need to do on a laptop and so much mo...
Apple iPad (10th Gen): 64GB, Wi-Fi 6, Silver
