🧳 Travel Essentials I Pack for Every City Trip
20 items
By
Mikey Stark
The 20 things that live in my bag for every city trip — tested on subways, red-eyes, and 20,000-step days.
Â
One goes in my checked bag and one on my keys — I always know where my luggage is.
AirTag
Â
Slim enough for a jacket pocket, and the built-in cable means one less thing to forget.
Anker Nano 45W 10,000mAh Power Bank
Â
One brick covers plugs in most countries I visit and charges my phone, watch, and laptop at once.
EPICKA Travel Adapter 1AC/3 USB-C/2 USB-A
Â
A whole library that weighs less than one paperback, with weeks of battery.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB, 7" Glare-Free
Â
The noise canceling makes a 6-hour flight feel like two.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones
Â
My pick when I want something tiny for subway rides and walking around a new city.
AirPods Pro 3
Â
Carry-on sized, opens like a suitcase, and lets me skip checked bags on most trips.
Travel Backpack
Â
Rolls smoothly over cobblestones and fits every overhead bin I've tried.
The Carry-On in Jet Black

Packing cubes changed my life — everything stays organized from hotel to hotel.

Leak-proof, TSA-friendly bottles that roll up flat as you use them.
FlatPakâ„¢ Toiletry Bottles
Â
Fill it after security and your water stays cold all day of sightseeing.
24 oz Standard Mouth
Â
Peace of mind for refilling from any tap when I'm unsure about the water.
LifeStraw Go Series 1L
Â
Way less bulky than a U-pillow and actually keeps my head from flopping over.
TRTL PILLOW PLUS
Â
Total blackout for red-eyes and bright hotel rooms without pressing on your eyes.
Manta Sleep Mask
Â
Cheap insurance against snoring seatmates and loud city streets.
Mack's Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs - 6 Pair
Â
A stick in my water bottle after a flight helps me fight jet lag and long walking days.
Lemon Lime Hydration Multiplier®
Â
Invisible, weightless SPF that doubles as a makeup primer — I wear it every day I'm out exploring.
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
Â
Light, breathable sneakers I can walk 20,000 steps in and toss in the wash after.
Men's Tree Runner - Jet Black (White Sole)
Â
Folds into a tiny pouch and holds a full haul from the market or souvenir shopping.
