For Travel
I got a 4 pack on Amazon for like 40 bucks on prime day, and I’m planning on sharing 2 with my sister! These are going to be really useful for my important items like my wallet and documents.
Apple AirTag 4 Pack - Track Keys, Wallet
I got this cute little pack of travel bottles for weekend trips when I am limited on space and sizing for liquids. You can get them anywhere, TjMaxx has some really cheap ones, but I think it is imperative to get some of these!
18pack TSA Approved Silicone Travel Bottles
This is a must!! You should not be carrying around a backpack when you are in another country. Get something like this belt bag that you can place in front of you to keep all your personals safe from pickpocketing!
Belt Bags
If you plan on bringing some jewelry, I would recommend something like this to keep it all organized and to prevent tangled necklaces!
Collapsible Jewelry Case
This is a must for traveling because there are times where you won’t have a space to get ready, and the floor might have to work for getting makeup and skincare done.
miroposs Rechargeable Travel Makeup Mirror 80LEDs
Guysssss! My friend told me about this brand, and I love their bags. They are very eco-friendly and come in super cute patterns. They hold so many things, and I’m using this bag as my school bag since backpacks won’t make the cut.
Cloud Bags
This is just a cute idea, NOT a must. This camera is lowkey not great but it gets the job done and is super cheap. It’s great for travel, so you don’t have to take your phone out to take every picture
Purple Camera
These I did not purchase for myself, but I’ve had them for 4 years, and they still work like they are brand new. They have a noise cancelling feature, and they are super comfortable to wear on the plane.

These are essential to throw in every bag your planning on traveling with. These were actually very last minute on my packing list, but I believe I’ll get a lot of use out of them!
Wet Ones
This was a must because I didn’t know where I was going to be living when I bought it. It fits perfectly in my luggage and takes up 0 room.
Collapsible Laundry Hamper
I NEED ice, and Italy (and most of Europe) decides to drink room temp. This is notttt for me, so I got these for my apartment, so I can fill my water bottle up every day with some ice!
Ice Cube Trays Set of 2, Flexible Silicone
I got this and am very excited about it. You absolutely need a reusable water bottle for abroad because a lot of places charge for water, and you will be running around a lot. This will probably save you money in the long wrong and isn’t too pricey!
Premium Filtering Water Bottle - Stainless Steel, 32oz
Please please please get a passport holder. Not only does it keep your passport safe when you are traveling, but you can also stick an AirTag inside it just in case it gets lost. ALSO pack a copy of your passport.
Pink Passport Holder
This backpack is approved for European airlines that are very restricted on sizes for carryon backpacks. Before you leave, double check that your bag is small enough for airlines like Ryanair!
Travel Backpack
Clothes
Ok clothes are very personal, so I won’t have a lot of recs on here. Honestly, pack what you feel comfortable in, but be mindful of the places you are traveling to and what is considered appropriate attire. You do not want to stick out like a sore th...
These are the most versatile pant ever! I bought them because I thought they’d be cute on my flight to Italy, and they scrunch on the bottom if they’re too long for you!
Stretch Satin Nylon Mid-Rise Pant | Women's Pants
These helped me organize and consolidate the clothes I packed for my abroad trip. I can’t emphasize enough how much these aided me when packing and how much room they helped me save!
Compression Packing Cubes for Travel
I packed a little travel size bottle of this for when I travel on the weekends! Remember to bring a lot of travel sized items for when your backpack is the only thing your bringing on a flight

Shoes
When I tell you this is my favorite shoe, I have purchased the same one and the same color twice now. They are great for wider feet (aka mine) and I’ve walked miles at Disney in them. I can’t say I’ve tried them on cobblestone yet, but they are an ov...
New Balance 574 - Men's, Women's, Kids' Shoes
Ok ok ok. These are the only shoes other than sneakers that I’m bringing with me. Keep in mind that your shoes are probably the most important thing to purchase before going abroad. Your feet with thank you with shoes that you can walk miles in, espe...
Knee High Boots With Wide Calf
Ok I wasn’t going to bring any shoes other than boots and sneakers with me, but these were so comfy and cute. Shoe Inn was having their annual sale, and I got them for around $40!!
