My Travel Essentials
13
items I love travelling, and being able to be as spontaneous as possible. For me, t
part of that means travelling as light as possible. I always consider how practical and item is before I take it with me. Here are the things I cannot travel without!
I don't travel without a large scarf. They are the most multi-purpose item ever and have saved me so many times! It can be used as a scarf of course, but also as a make shift pillow (so much easier than having a travel neck pilow!), as a light blanke...
Oversized Cotton Scarf
Want to sleep in the plane/train/bus ride? Hotel have flimsy curtains that let the light in? Having an eye mask is so helpful in getting good sleep when you are travelling. This one is great because its thick, soft, and oversized so it doesn't pull t...
Eye Sleep Mask
These are wonderful. You can sleep in them to block out sound, but also I wear them loads on public transport etc. to block out sound when I'm travelling just for some quiet, or if I want to read etc. My loops increase my peace factor on the daily!
Loop Quiet Earplugs
This will most importantly protect your passport which in itself is invaluable. What I love about this one is that it doesn't say 'passport' on the front which I find reassuring as if anyone else was looking for it, it wouldn't be as immediately obvi...
Personalised Passport Cover
These are great! Solar is good for the environment, and you don't have to worry about your power bank running out at a difficult moment as you can just recharge in the sun. It also has handy features like a torch and compass if you need them.
Solar Charged Waterproof Power Bank
I love these because it means I don't have to scramble every time I'm going away to make sure I have the right plug. This will just do what I want, wherever I am!
Universal Adapter Plug
These are really useful! They are a theft deterrent, and also anti drop! If you are like me and sometimes are in slightly precarious places taking photos, these are the best way to ensure you phone does not come to an untimely drop to its death! The ...
Phone Cord
Also known as a raincoat... I strongly recommend getting one that looks more like a regular coat so it can function as both a regular coat and a raincoat. Really helps with luggage bulk, and also any surprise rain showers! My coat is quite old but th...
Waterproof Coat
I have recently started travelling with a filter water bottle. As in, I put pretty much any water in it and it will make it safe to drink. It means I don't need to buy water out, it tastes much better, and I can trust what I'm drinking. In addition t...
A Filter Water Bottle
Not so glamorous but these things are indispensable when travelling. Keep your wet or dirty things away from your dry and clean things- or worst case- do the opposite! I have always been grateful for these when I'm travelling.
Wet Bag
I always travel with a merino underlayer. They take up very little space, are warm and breathable and need to be washed less that anything acrylic. My go to is Dilling because they are ethical and I have them to be amazing quality. These have been th...
Merino Underlayers
Again, these keep you cosy warm when its cold outside but they also work as great house socks at the hotel when you don't have any slippers with you (unless you are somewhere really posh!).
Thick Woollen Socks
I use this pretty much everyday when I am travelling. Maps app does some things, but this is a whole different player when you are on walks, runs, or just strolls. It will suggest routes, tell you exactly where you are and help you navigate through s...
