🔌 Practical Essentials

Everything you need to stay powered, connected, and moving around Sydney with ease.

Sydney tap water is safe to drink, so bringing your own reusable water bottle is super handy - especially at the beach or on nature walks.. there’s also often water fountains around for easy refills!

Owala Water Bottle

Grocery bags are not free in Sydney- which is not a massive deal, but these small, reusable bags help to save a little! They are also great for beach day bags and won’t break like paper can sometimes (I’ve learned that the hard way MULTIPLE times)

KINGMAS Reusable Eco-Friendly Folding Tote

Adapters can be easily forgotten, but these are quite literally as essential as your phone! This multi-port style is great for only needing one adapter per person.

TESSAN Australia Plug Adapter with 4 USB Ports

☀️ Aussie Life Must-Haves

Sun-smart staples and everyday items locals swear by for beach days and city life.

My daily SPF go-to .. it’s lightweight but provides serious protection

Ultra Violette™ USA | Skincare-First Sunscreen SPF 50+

A versatile beach towel goes a long way when beach hopping - and if it’s not sand-free, it’s not coming with me

SandCloud Beach Towel

Bring the Aussie vibes with your own pair of thongs - I love these for an elevated option that you can dress up or down.

Tory Burch Kira Flip Flop

Sunscreen | SPF50+ Protection

When it rains in Sydney, it’s practically never a drizzle, but a downpour!! Make sure you’re ready with an easy-to-carry compact umbrella.

Travel & Classic Outdoor Umbrellas

🏙️ Exploring the City

Lightweight, practical gear to make sightseeing and day trips stress-free.

If you’re visiting Sydney, you’ll want to take advantage of the great public transport and that means getting an Opal card! You can load funds onto the card and tap on/off for buses, light rail, trains, and ferries.

Opal

Compact and perfect for all the essentials for a day out exploring! It’s easily adjustable, so you can wear on your hip or cross body and don’t have the hassle of a bag falling off your shoulder.

Lululemon Belt Bag

Just like in the states, Adidas are seen everywhere in Sydney! It’s a walking city, so good footwear is a must and this brand holds up so well!

Adidas

I’ve carried a variation of this case since 2019 and I don’t think I’ll ever swap. It’s so handy - especially transitioning to the tap on/tap off transport system, my opal card is always easily accessible. I replace my case every year or two, but t...
