What's better than travel? Travel when you don't have to worry about the little things, because you've packed everything you need for a seamless adventure! Almost all of these recs are directly from the company, and none are from Amazon. :)
Move aside Away, I love my Beis bag! It expands, has a lock on the side, comes in cute colors, rolls wells, and has a comfortable handle. What more could you want!?

I jam as much as possible into my suitcase, and that would be a lot less without compressible packing cubes! These are see-through for easy organization AND they're made from recycled plastic bottles. Comes in a six pack. Amazing!

Adorable binoculars that are perfect to stow in your purse or backpack when traveling! I call these my “city bins.”

Okay, so maybe not a travel “essential," but amazing to have for those nature trips. These are particularly expensive right now, but if you're looking for an amazing pair of binoculars that will last, look no further than this pair. Wow, I love them!...

There's nothing worse than forgetting the name of that great restaurant you tried in Italy or of that cool bird you saw in Japan. Write it down! I always carry a little travel journal with me on trips, and Field Notes' are simply the best!

Normally, I'm all for a big water bottle. But when I'm traveling around cities, I love to have a small bottle to stick in my purse or sling. Highly recommend!

No longer just for camping, I brought this pillow with me on my last trip and it worked perfectly for the plane and bus! Double duty!

Y'all, this heated blanket for the car is a GAME CHANGER for road trips! And yes, I've “camped” in the car in the snow with this and stayed toasty! Auto shutoff for safety, of course!

For planes and hotel rooms with that annoying TV light that won't turn off, this sleep mask is a travel must! And, silk means it will last longer between washes!

I always throw an AirTag in my luggage and one in my backpack when traveling. This is a four pack. Adds peace of mind!

Everyone has their favorite power bank, but if you're in the market for a new one, I love this one! It's a reasonable size, looks slee, and holds a lot of charge. Note that you do have to bring a cable with you.

You won't catch me traveling without a carabiner — or two or three. I like this one because it's light but strong and has an easy-to-use locking mechanism. You never know when these might come in handy during travel — attaching water bottles to bags, securing zippers on purses, or anything else!

I love my plastic passport holder. Again, it's great for peace of mind — nothing is spilling on my passport! This comes in a pack of six — give some to your friends to become the favorite. ;)
