This is one of my go-to cards I use to fund my trips. I use this for dining, groceries, and streaming so points quietly pile up and become flights and hotel stays.
Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card | Chase.com
This is my favorite travel rewards card, especially when paired strategically with the Sapphire Preferred. If you use your benefits fully, the annual fee pays for itself and you can stack miles while making travel just a little bit more luxurious and...
Venture X Rewards
I used to scoff at booking tours. Maybe I’m getting older, because they’re my favorite now! I’ve had great experiences every time I’ve booked through Viator. It’s a great way to experience the area with a local guide. PRO TIP: check your credit card ...

I’ve got wide feet and finding shoes that are cute and can handle the many miles I put on in Europe is tough. These shoes saved the day! They’re comfy, and can look cute or casual depending on the outfit. Perfect for European vacations!

Blast Travel Backpack
These are my go-to airplane pants. They’re cute, comfy, and breathable. Pair it with some good compression socks and a cozy sweater? Perfect travel outfit.
Linen Pants
I can’t say this actually helps me sleep but it does relax me. Probably because I love the smell of lavender, and don’t love the smell of airplanes. Just a small thing I bring with me to keep me calm in stressful situations.
Prego Sleep & Relax Essential Oil Roll-On
I am not the best sleeper in unfamiliar places. These help a ton to block out noise - it’s like a little white noise machine right in my ears.
