Things that should be in your suitcase(s) and/or backpack. I recommend these highly.
If you’re going ANYWHERE in Europe, please take an adapter. You’ll need it. Take two, in case one doesn’t work. It’s super inconvenient if you don’t have them!
UK to EU Plug Adapter with 3 USB Ports
These are super great to have when you go somewhere moderately warm or humid. You honestly will not regret having one of these in your room. They’re mostly odourless, you only smell it when your nose it right up to it. Bugs just avoid being near it. ...
Zero In Knockdown Plug-In Mosquito Killer 30ml
I love this as it’s DEET free, and isn’t an aerosol. It’s also under the slowly disappearing 100ml limit for hand luggage, so it’s good to have that safety net. I use this one whenever I notice the area I’m in has a lot of bugs.
Incognito Insect Repellent Spray 50ml DEET-Free
You. Need. Luggage. Tags. Case goes missing? No luggage tag? Then how are they gonna know it’s yours. Especially at baggage claim. Your name is on the check-in label that goes on to your case or bag handle, but the average passenger isn’t looking for...<3

Bring a toothbrush or two. You’ll be grossed out at how many people don’t brush their teeth on vacation. It’s naaasty. Be clean!
Adult Toothbrushes with Covers - Pack of 8
You can use any set really, not this particular set of bottles. But especially for hang luggage, you need to transfer some of your liquid toiletries (such as soap or shower gel) into these bottles. It’s not necessary, but hotel toiletries don’t smell...
MateeyLife 3oz TSA Travel Bottles, BPA Free
These are life savers - literally. You get very dehydrated on planes, especially when they charge a fortune at the airport and even more on the plane. Any water that is provided is usually about 5 sips worth and you aren’t guaranteed more than one. Y...
Ocean Bottle Original - Ocean Blue (500ml)
Gonna be roasting in the sun? Please slap on some sunscreen, preferably at least SPF 30. Personally, I need to use SPF 50, as I burn super easy. Super sensitive to the sun, Scottish genes haha. But honestly, everyone should wear this in the sun becau...
SPF 30 Sun Protection
This has been a lifesaver in the moments you want to scream with the itch of a bug bite. It also works a teeny bit with sun burn, it stops the itch. It’s so good to have.
Skincalm Bite & Sting Relief 1% Cream Hydrocortisone - 10g
This can be a lifesaver during airport layovers. There are plugs at airports, but they’re never near seats and are usually taken by someone. Sometimes they just don’t work. It doesn’t need to be this particular portable charger, though. Just get a go...
Anker PowerCore 10K Portable Charger 10,000mAh
Suitcases and Bags
Best affordable cases and bags that I’ve used. I love these! It’s always good having cases around, they are getting more and more expensive every year!
I love this bag. It fits most airline underseat spaces. I don’t always like taking a small suitcase as hand luggage as if there is no space in the overhead bins, it’s awkward having to walk back to the front of the plane to get it checked into the ho...
Kono 17.3 Inch Laptop Backpack Travel Bag
Such a solid suitcase. Very well made, and I think it’s worth the price. It’s also absolutely huge. It holds A LOT. Just be careful of the luggage weight allowance if you’re travelling by air!
Tripp Holiday 8 Slate Large Suitcase
