Safety
Solo travel safety is something I take seriously, and over the years I've discovered specific items that give me extra peace of mind when I'm staying in hotels or navigating public transportation alone. These essential tools help me feel more confide...
I always double lock my hotel door but this little gadget makes me feel extra safe since it clicks directly into the door and adds an extra layer of protection.
Portable Door Lock & Alarm Set, Red
This door stopper is another great way to triple secure your door since you can double and triple lock your door handle but this slides underneath creating an extra layer of security.
Portable Door Lock - Travel Security Stopper
I love this slim travel bra wallet for solo travel, concerts, you name it. It lays flat against you and allows you carry your cards and cash without worrying.
Travel Bra Wallet for Women - 2 Pack
This is another style of a bra wallet that I have and love. It snaps on and lays flat offering a discreet way to carry cash and cards.
Braza Secret Stash Lace Bra Travel Pouch
These are so handy for keeping your cards safe from anyone trying to steal your info. They are slim, not bulky and just handy to have.
Travelon RFID Blocking Sleeves Set of 3
This crossbody is a staple for travel since it has straps that cannot be cut, RFID blocking in the fabric and is all around a great travel bag to keep your belongings safe!
The Foldie® Crossbody
Luggage
When I am traveling alone, I don't want to be burdened with a lot of heavy luggage so carry on is key for me. I love an expandable option as well!
I love the idea of an expandable suitcase that not only can grow to handle what you might bring back from a trip, but the fact that it also fits underneath the seat is pretty great too.
Runway Hybrid Expandable Underseater
This foldable spinner is the larger size and is perfect for slightly longer trips. It's so great how it can completely fold up and be packed up into another bag to be used only if you need it!
Zipsak 31" Foldable Spinner
The smaller foldable spinner it perfect for a shorter trip and like the larger size, can be completely folded up making it super handy to bring as an extra bag if needed!
Zipsak 22" Foldable Spinner Carry On
This carry-on is ideal for those trips where you know you might come back with more than you came with, since you are able to expand the top of this to make room for more storage. Genius!
Lift Off! Expandable Carry-On to Check-In
Sleep + Comfort
Here are my main items I use/bring with me when I want to be super comfy before, during and after a long plane ride.
Not all airlines provide blankets and pillows so I have taken to traveling with my own since airplanes tend to vary in comfort and temperature. This offers both and is easy to pack.
PAVILIA 2-in-1 Travel Blanket Pillow, Black
This is another option for a sleep gummy that focuses on melatonin to help you sleep, which is great for when you are flying and going to be changing time zones.
OLLY Sleep Gummy, 3 mg Melatonin, 50 Ct
I have been using Feals for a while now and really like that they don't make me feel groggy or foggy if I am woken up before my alarm, and they don't make me feel hungover like other sleep gummies can. Highly recommend but of course, everyone is diff...
The Sleep Gummies
These are great for sleeping next to someone who is snoring, but you can also wear them on long flights in case there is someone next to you with a crying baby, someone who is snoring or if you just want to block out all noise and listen to white noi...
Ozlo Sleepbuds
I like to wear these to smooth wrinkles while sleeping so why not wear them when you are sleeping on an overnight flight!
Dermaclara Kit
I always hate it when I forget my neck pillow on long flights but not all neck pillows are created the same. I like one that can wrap around me, and can be molded to my comfort. This one does both and makes it easy to rest on overnight flights.
Pono Neck Cradle Travel Pillow - Memory Foam
If you are like me, you might want to curl into the fetal position in your window seat but can never get comfortable. I am also not very tall, so this foot hammock at least solves the problem of keeping my feet and legs comfortable by suspending them...
Portable Airplane Footrest - Memory Foam Hammock
Compression socks are great for improved circulation and keep away tired and fatigued feet and legs, crucial for long flights.
Compression Socks
I love being comfy on a long flight but also want to look put together. A matching two piece sweatsuit is my go-to for achieving this. Throw on a long overcoat on top, with a pair of cute comfy sneakers and you are ready to go!
Two-piece sweatsuit
I swear by these sneakers and tell everyone to buy them because of how comfortable they are, and they are hands free! You just literally step into them. The cush is unbeatable and I can walk for hours and hours without my feet getting sore. Best purc...
Women's Brisbane - White
Tech + Misc
A collection of my must-haves when it comes to everything tech related that I use when traveling abroad.
The first time I saw the inside of this pouch, I was blown away at how perfectly it could keep your cords and misc. tech items organized. This is great for yourself but would also make a wonderful gift for someone in your life that is an avid travele...
Tech Pouch
I can't live without my portable chargers - I have one in every bag I swear! This one is slightly bigger than my normal day to day one and holds a ton of charge. I love that it can plug directly into the wall, which allows you to not have to worry ab...
VRURC 20000mAh Portable Charger, Fast Charge
An adapter is key when traveling to another country, so I love this 2 pack so you never have to worry about a lack of plugs in your hotel or bedroom room.
2 Pack EU Travel Plug Adapter USB C, TESSAN
I love this little gadget for when I want to watch a show on my phone while flying. It attaches to the tray seat and can be changed into a lot of different positions if you just want to have it sit on a surface.
Perilogics Universal Airplane Phone Holder
If you don't like in-ear headphones than these noice cancelling over the ear wireless headphones are the move. They are very comfortable and can easily be charged.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Headphones
Instead of traveling with a million cords for all your devices, grab this foldable 2 in 1 wireless charger to keep things orderly and simple.
3 in 1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger
