I travel multiple times each year and these are items that I rely on to make my trips enjoyable rather than stressful.
This is a fabulous everyday foundation with sunscreen. I love the way it blends onto my face easily and looks great.
Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46
I usually travel with only this carry on. It is light and roomy with many color options. With four wheels on the bottom, it rolls easily so I can fly through an airport.

I loved my Matein backpack so much for traveling, that I bought another in a smaller size for shorter trips. I love all of the separate pockets and its very comfortable.

These toiletry bags are perfect for going through security when you have to remove your liquids from your carry-on bag. I also like that I can see where everything is when I need something. I divide up my toiletries into multiple bags to make using t...

I didn't want to spend a large amount on headphones and a friend recommended these Soundcore earbuds. They work well and are comfortable. Mine are the P30i.

I have used this power bank for 3-4 years and it is light and keeps enough charge for a day out seeing the sights.

I generally travel with “hiking” pants. They are light and don't take up much room in my suitcase. They dry quickly, which is important when I only have a washer in most European apartments.

I have enjoyed taking a walking tour when arriving in a new city to get an overview of the history and layout. Many also give you a taste of local dishes and drinks.

I just got my order in the mail and I love these pants. They are super comfortable, light weight, and look good. They roll up nicely and will take up very little space in my carry-on.
Women's Pants
I have used Get Your Guide to find a local tour which is great for meeting people when traveling alone and get a good overview of a new city.

I always carry these in my toiletries bag. I haven't tried them on a load of clothes but they are great for washing a few items to get you through a trip.
Travel Laundry Detergent Sheets
I bring the small packets with me when I travel to replenish electrolytes, especially on travel days. My favorite flavor is Passionfruit.

I put an airtag in each bag I carry: my purse, back, and suitcase. I like to have them in a key ring even if I don't have a key on there. It makes them easier to find in your bag.
AirTag
This bag is super light and has lots of room to carry what you need. I can fit my ipad, small book or notebook, snack, reading glasses, phone charger and cord, earbuds in the main pocket. The front zipped pocket is great for smaller items and there i...
MOSISO Sling Backpack Multipurpose Crossbody
I like traveling with my ipad rather than laptop due to the smaller size. I download some series episodes or movies that I want to catch up on from Netflix. I bring the attachable keyboard as well to make typing easier.
Apple: iPad
I am much quicker typing on a keyboard than using one onscreen so I bring this along. It doesn't weight much or add any size.
Ipad Keyboard
I tend to wear compression socks for flights longer than 4-5 hours.
Compression Socks for Women
I started using this to keep track of my trips while planning and during the trip. I also allow my daughter and sister to access my trips while I am traveling solo so someone knows where I am in the world.
TripIt
I like how long these charging cords are since some hotel outlets are not placed in the best location to charge my phone.

These sandals are comfortable to walk for long periods. The ones I bought have great arch support. They also dry quickly if you walk in a stream or the rain.
