This is my go-to carry-on since it has a dedicated padded compartment for my laptop, so I can edit content on the go without worrying about it getting knocked around. It also fits perfectly under the seat, and I can quickly slide it under the plane s...
Carry On Luggage with Laptop Compartment
These changed how I pack completely. Everything has its own compartment so I'm not digging through a messy suitcase, and it makes unpacking at the hotel so much faster.
Packing Organizers Cubes Set of 8 for Travel
I got tired of guessing and getting hit with overweight fees at check-in. Now I weigh my bag at home before I even leave, so there are no surprises at the airport.
Portable Luggage Scale
Tech
I never leave home without this. It covers basically every plug type I've run into so far, and it charges multiple devices at once so I'm not fighting over one outlet in a hotel room.
Universal Travel Adapter 28W USB C/A
Content creation drains my phone fast, especially when I'm filming all day while exploring. This keeps me from panicking at 20% battery in the middle of a trip.

The best find of early 2026! I discovered this magnetic phone holder, and it’s incredibly useful for creating content. It’s super strong and can be attached to any surface. Just stick it on and start recording!
Magnetic Suction Phone Mount for MagSafe Case
Safety & documents
A passport is an important document that needs to be protected! That’s why I use this passport cover—to keep my passport safe from water and dirt, prevent it from tearing easily, and make it easy to distinguish so it doesn't get mixed up with others.
Passport Holder
I wear this whenever I'm exploring a new city, especially in crowded tourist spots. It has a slash-proof strap and hidden zippers, so I don't have to constantly check if my stuff is still there.
Anti Theft Crossbody Bag for Women with RFID
Toiletries & self-care
I use this pouch to store my toiletries and basic skincare products. It has a compact design that doesn't take up much space in my suitcase, and it can be hung up. That way, I don't have to worry about where to put it while showering, since I can jus...
Hanging Toiletry Bag for Toiletries and Skincare
This pouch is perfect when I need plenty of space to fit my makeup and brushes. It’s quite large, yet ideal if you prefer not to carry multiple pouches for things like toiletries, skincare, and makeup—everything fits into this single bag.
Toiletry Bag Hanging Travel for Makeup & Brushes
This bidet is incredibly useful when visiting countries where most public toilets lack a bidet for cleaning. As someone who simply cannot do without water, I make sure to carry this with me wherever I go; it is the perfect size to fit right into my b...
Rechargeable Bidet for Travel
Since I'm always outdoors shooting content when I travel, I don't skip this. It's TSA-friendly size so it goes straight in my carry-on without any hassle.
Sunscreen Travel Friendly
Comfort extras
I fill this up after security so I'm not paying $5 for water at the gate. It folds flat when empty so it doesn't eat up space in my bag on the way there.
Reusable Water Bottle (Collapsible) 500ml
Some places I've traveled to get brutally hot and humid, and not every venue has great AC. This has saved me more than once while waiting outside or on public transit.
Portable Mini Fan / Handheld Fan - 3in1
I've been caught off guard by sudden rain in so many cities. This one folds down small enough to live in my daypack permanently, so I'm never scrambling to buy an overpriced one.
