Packing
These are a game changer! Went to Japan for a week in February with a backpack because of these
Compression Packing Cubes for Travel
The best travel backpack! Perfect size, can fit as a personal item or carry on depending how full it is! Have taken nothing but this bag out of the country for weeks at a time and it’s been amazing! Super durable too, often have loaded it down with a...
Travel Backpack
Love wearing a fanny pack under my backpack while traveling. I keep the zipper part under my arm so it’s harder for pickpocketers to get access. I also keep my ID, AirPods, gum, and chapstick to have easily accessible while in transit!
Fanny Packs & Belt Bags for Women
Durable and fashionable!! Simple and sleek. Fits in all major US airline overhead bins
Best Rolling Luggage & Suitcases - Check-In & Carry-On ...
Flights
My fav headphones for the gym and flights! Noise cancelling, comfy, great sound quality and battery lasts me weeks I swear
Headphones - Buy Authentic Products at the Official JBL Shop
Love AirPods for in the airport or listening to music or videos on trains, buses, other transport while traveling where over-ear headphones are too bulky
AirPods
The absolute best water bottle for traveling! Never leaks just throw it in your carry on! Fill up post security and don’t pay $7 for bottled water at the airport. 32oz is the best size for everyday use and traveling IMO
Pink Sand - HydroJug Traveler 32oz
Clothing
The comfiest cutest walking shoes! Can wear all day on a travel day and good for working out too!
Shop UltraRange Shoes – Comfort, Lightweight, Traction
My favorite travel day hoodie! Lightweight and easy to pack but keeps me really warm but can easily cool off by unzipping a bit. Also fits well over your head with claw clip or without messing up makeup
Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie | Women's Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Hear me out I know chacos are granola but these are the best water shoes!! Hiked waterfalls in Jamaica, rode horseback in the DR, and spent the day in Tayrona National park in Colombia with these shoes! They clean and dry off quickly and easily for s...
Women's Sandals
Toiletries
Great makeup bag big enough to fit all your products skincare and toiletries!
Cosmetic & Toiletry Bags
Fav Micellar water for removing even waterproof mascara! Mini size is enough for a week vacation and TSA approved
Garnier : Micellar Water
Fav little lip balms! Not sticky, last a while and actually moisturize! Any flavor but vanilla is good and they’re small enough to stash away
Squeeze Me Glow Moisturizing Lip Balm
Best brush ever!! Jet skiing and hair wind blown? Snorkeling and hair tangled? Spicy night on the town? This brush seriously gets through anything. Just make sure to brush bottom to top! Tangly hair APPROVED
Wet Brush in Hair Brushes & Combs(448)
Tech
Super useful dry bags for solo travel when getting in the water- store your cash and phone and keep with you! Also great for cruises
Waterproof Pouches
Love this brand for power banks. Always good to keep on hand while traveling
Power Banks for Apple
Always take a tablet with you for a backup device! I personally love the iPad mini as it’s very portable but packs a punch! This has saved me from being stranded a couple times while traveling in cases of my phone battery dying or even my phone break...
iPad mini
Highly recommend popsockets they make traveling so much more seamless when your hands are full! Also helpful for propping your phone up. I stick mine to a clear $5 case from five below!
PopSockets
Fav case ever! Actually holds up and protects my phone because it has bumpers on the corners. When it gets yellow or dirty just toss it and get a new one. No need to spend $50 on a phone case
Phone Cases: iPhone, Samsung & More
Snacks
If you’re a caffeine addict but picky about your coffee like me this is great for traveling! Sometimes the coffee I like isn’t available and I’ll get caffeine headaches if I don’t drink it. Powder mixes are okay but usually clumpy and this is so much...
Mio Energy Caffeine
Gotta keep hand sanitizer on you! Love this pump style one. No inhaling sprays or trying to close a snap top with one hand!
Travel Hand Sanitizers | Sizes & Brands
Best in flight snack! Not smelly, no bloat, tastes great and high protein! I like the chicken ones and the minis are great too!
Meat Sticks | No Sugar, Gluten-Free & High Protein Sticks
These are great for bringing your own snacks on the plane or if you’re a baddie on a budget taking leftovers or hotel breakfast on the go! They’re also good storage bags for cables/other uses
Reusable Silicone Bags | Reusable Snack, Sandwich & Storage Bags
Fav gum and the big pack has enough for the whole trip! Also the container can be repurposed!
EXTRA Spearmint Sugarfree Chewing Gum, 35-Stick Mega Pack
Self explanatory. Best plane snack ever. Perfect boost between meals!
