Luggage
Briggs and Riley is a bit of a splurge but the quality is top notch. Excellent warranty and you can’t go wrong with any of their styles.
Briggs and Riley Essential 22" Carry-On Expandable Spinner
I love that this suitcase is less than 7lbs! The limited lifetime warranty has always given me peace of mind and Travelpro has been great to work with when replacing wheels, zippers, etc.
Crew ™ Classic
Hear me out-if you enjoy traveling light, avoiding getting your roll aboard bag gate checked, and would rather not navigate rolling a bag through a crowded airport, then this is for you. The quality for anything Cotopaxi is bar none. Wear as a backpa...
Allpa Getaway 55L Duffel
Tried and true, old reliable. IYKYK

A bag within a bag within a bag
I’ve had Eagle Creek packing cubes for about ten years and they have yet to fail me. It’s great to separate pajamas, underwear, workout clothes, going out clothes, etc. without rummaging through everything. To make the most of them though you should ...
Travel Cubes For Packing
I absolutely cannot have my dirty shoes touching everything else in my bag, so these are a must. For work I use it to switch between heels and inflight flats, but on a trip I love them to separate my shoes from clean clothes.
Travel Shoe Bags & Shoe Pouches
Compartments galore! Love this for my travel makeup bag because 1) it’s small in size but 2) all of the separate sections and zippers make it so easy to divide up my face makeup from eye makeup, etc. it’s also been super easy to clean when something ...
Nido Accessory Bag - Cada Día
I use this makeup bag at home or when I’m staying somewhere longer and need a few more items. It’s great for those of us who haven’t stopped sitting on the floor, in front of a mirror to do their makeup.
Lay-n-Go COSMO Deluxe (22
This is perfect to fit ALL of my skincare, soaps, toothpaste, tampons, razor, etc. etc. I tend to bring EVERYTHING with me when I’m on a work trip and this bag fits it all-even full size items. I keep it packed and in my roll aboard at all times then...
Amazon Toiletry Bag
It’s a classic for a reason. Foldable, packable, an easy layover purse or shopping bag (especially if you’re somewhere that charges for bags, and forgot your reusables). Pro tip- it’s a bit cheaper in Paris so if you’re on a layover, just buy it. You...
Le Pliage Original L Tote bag Black - Recycled canvas
Hotel Safety
Traveling solo can be fun but this makes it a bit safer
This was a Christmas gift, and one that I use on EVERY trip. I’ve had a time where a hotel worker just let themselves in my room and since then this has given peace of mind. It is LOUD so it’ll wake you up, your neighbors up, and hopefully scare whoe...
Door Stop Alarm
We can’t take pepper spray or other weapons through TSA, so this personal alarm does the trick. If exploring a city solo, I feel better having this knowing it would draw attention and hopefully deter any wrongdoers. Lightweight and just goes on your ...
Birdie Personal Safety Alarm
Miscellaneous travel loves (flight crew approved)
Coffee lovers rejoice! This works with the espresso pods. Boiled water (portable kettle), nespresso pod, then boom. There you have the most delectable coffee on the go. Plane? Airport? Hotel room? Make your own coffee-and with how pricey Starbucks ha...
Minipresso GR | Portable Espresso Maker
This is the portable kettle I use. Some hotel rooms have them but this is my way to guarantee cleanliness. It takes up about as much space as a liter water bottle and is perfectly portable. I like it way more than the silicone collapsible kettle.
