Door Stop Alarm
This bag makes me feel safer in bigger cities.

This is another small item I will bring with me that doesn't take up much room. You cannot bring it into Canada though.

Travel Tech
As a solo traveler you have to be prepared with all the travel technology you need.
I try to fly carry on only but when I can't I like to have one of these to keep up with my luggage.
Apple AirTags
I always bring my selfie stick with me. If you are going to visit your dream destination solo you better get yourself in some pictures!
Best Selfie Sticks
As I travel more I want more than just selfies at places. So I have started bringing a tripod with me when I travel too.

TRIPPED Travel Gear
So easy to use! I will always use it when traveling internationally. Download the app, pick the country you are visiting for an eSIM. These plans are less expensive than what cell phone plans offer. Now you can use data, call or text all when in a different country.
Airalo
I bring these not only for plane rides, but just in case a hotel or Airbnb I'm staying at doesn't have good curtains to keep light out.
MZOO Sleep Eye Mask
I know these are bigger to carry when you have carry on only but I LOVE to be able to block out all the airplane noise.
