Gear & Toiletries
Even one international trip a year this adapter will pay for itself. Plus I love the hi-viz orange.
Outlet Adapter: Matador Global Travel Adapter
Travel sound machine with a hanging loop (super convenient) and USB-C. I usually hang this on the hotel room door to cut down any noise in the halls.
White Noise fave: Yogasleep Hushh 2 Travel Sound Machine
USB-A to 2 USB-C: This is a great cable to have if you have multiple low powered USB-C devices, for example headlamps when camping or a portable sound machine at a hotel.
USB-A travel cable: 4ft Dual USB A to USB C Splitter Cable
Fairly compact and has held up well so far
Travel Steamer: Rowenta Handheld Garment Steamer for Clothes
This is my favorite travel charger. It has a USB-A port but also 65W USB-C port which I've used more once to charge my laptop or ipad because the AC power was packed away in my work bag, etc. Also, the prongs tuck away so this can fit pretty much any...
Travel Adapter w PD: Nekmit 65W USB C Fast Charger Foldable PD 3.0
I bought this for camping but now I take it on work trips as well, nice having an extra layer between me and the hotel sheets.
Packable Travel Sheet: Merino Wool MummyLiner
Really happy with this purchase. Between the pill bottle for commuting, going to the gym, or work trips I am using all of these bottles.
Nalgene Travel Kit, Small, Clear
I bought this for the gym but now tend to travel with it as well so that I'm not relying on the hotel. Light, packs small, dries fast.
Packable Towel: PackTowl Luxe Microfiber Towel
Really impressed with the Matador brand products I have.
Matador Blackout Sleep Mask and Earplugs
If you NEED to be awake at a certain time and cellphone or hotel clock isn't reliable, this is the alarm clock to get. USB-C, vibrating and sound alarm option, long battery life, cordless…highly recommend.
Alarm clock: REACHER Travel Vibrating Alarm Clock Dual
High quality cable that has been an excellent upgrade. A magnetic cable never occured to me but it's really nice, tangle free…great for traveling and at 100W it's compatible with pretty much all my devices.
Statik magnetic USB C to USB C Cable, 100W 3ft
Body wash: I top off the nalgene bottles before I travel. BYO.
Clean Body Wash: Native Coconut & Vanilla Body Wash
WATERPROOF LINING. Lots of fun colors, soft sided and minimum structure so it's going to fit well in almost any space, but the waterproof lining makes it unlike any other dopp kit I've owned. Long-time fave. Highly recommend.
Dopp Kit: Topo Designs
Refill when I'm packing and problem solved, no longer need to shop for travel sized toothpaste.
Refillable Toothpaste Tubes by Matador
Another great travel buy since I use a manual brush that doesn't have a cover.
Toothbrush Caps 2-Pack
These are great for travel because they're not going to add any more bulk to your suit case than a pair of socks would. Also great house slippers. Highly recommend.
Travel Slippers: Bombas Gripper Slipper
One of the healthier travel size options…
Native Travel Size Mini Deodorant - Sea Salt & Cedar - 0.5oz

Plan ahead so you can avoid purchasing from the airport stores and hotel lobby
I packed these last time I traveled and was really impressed. Airport and hotel coffee is either bad tasting or overpriced or both and the mushroom coffee also helped soften changing time zones. Will definitely take with me next trip.
RYZE Vanilla Mushroom Coffee Latte sticks - 2.3oz/5ct
If you prefer valerian root over melatonin, these are a good option to help fall asleep at night.
Vitamatic Valerian Root Chamomile Gummies for sleep
Coconut water is my new hack for staying hydrated especially on long flights or going to higher altitudes. If I can find this in the airport, I'll bring it along with my reusable water bottle.
Vita Coco The Original Coconut Water, Nutrients & Electrolytes Rich
Fairly clean ingredients, easily packable, and if adding some flavor to your water helps you stay hydrated…I'd pick these over sugary sports drinks or soda every time.
LMNT Zero-Sugar Electrolytes Drink - Variety Pack - 2.1oz/10ct
Bags
Short trip/weekender bag. Such a great purchase, extremely well designed.
Transit Duffel 35L
