Before we get started, the travel essentials I am about to show you are from Amazon.
The reason why I love buying travel essentials from Amazon is because of the Amazon Prime membership which is a life saver!
As a traveler, if you have some last minute problems and there is something you need to get ASAP, Amazon prime can deilver your product on that day, or until 24-48 hours after the order has been completed.

Travel Passport Wallet
Having a thin travel wallet is perfect for traveling! it’s thin, small, and could hold everything you need – your passport, cards, cash – anything you’ll need in one small place!
Luggage Tags
There are around 8 billion people on earth. Taking another person’s suitcase by mistake can be pretty easy!Â
There are many people on your flight, with many similar suitcases.Â
So, do yourself a favor, and buy yourself a luggage tag and hang it on your suitcase so you won’t lose it.Â
Suitcase Set
It is pretty self-explanatory why you need a suitcase to travel. And I also found a really cute matching suitcase set!Â
This set includes a trolley suitcase, and two sized checked luggage-sized suitcases.
Â
Under The Clothes Waist Bag
I always say how important and useful it is to travel with a waist bag under your shirt, or just really tight around your body.Â
It’s definitely a life saver because no one can steal your money!! or any other important travel documents you might be walking around with!
Of course there are pretty designed ones, but usually they are too big and you can just wear it under your clothes and keep the attention away from it.Â
I recommend using a thin under the shirt waist bag, it’s the safest.
Â
Packing Cubes
I love packing my suitcase with packing cubes since it makes everything so organized and nice.
Usually, after a flight, your suitcase can get pretty messy after the workers at the airport throw your suitcase from one place to another, so these packing cubes are perfect for keeping your stuff organized and neat.
Â
Hanging Luggage Scale
To make sure you are not coming with an overweight suitcase, you should scale your suitcase before going to the airport with this hanging luggage scale!
Travel Sized Hair Tools Set
Hairtools can take up a lot of space and weight in your suitcase. That’s why I think having a travel-sized hair tools set is the perfect solution to still bring your hair tools with you, and to not take up space in your suitcase!
This hair tools set comes with a mini curling iron and hair straightner!
Â
International Adapter
It is always important to travel with an international adapter, since not all countries has the same electric outlet and plugs.
Portable Charger
Having a portable charger with you is always great while traveling, or even during busy days in your everyday life.
You can use it to charge your phone, Ipad, or any other electric device that ran out of battery.Â
Â
Ipad
Whether you are traveling alone or especially if you have kids, traveling with an Ipad is always a great idea!
If possible, you can pack it instead of taking your laptop with you, and if you are traveling with kids, this Ipad will give you a lot of quiet during the flight π
You can download movies, TV shows, music, videos, games, to your Ipad and watch them during the flight.Â
Also, you can use it to get some work/homework done during your flight.
Shoe Bags
Before discovering this genius travel essential, I used to place my shoes in a bunch of plastic bags so my clothes won’t get dirty from the shoes.
But since discovering these shoe bags, I became more “eco-friendly” and started using these reusable travel bags instead.
Sleeping Mask
Having a sleeping mask during flights is definitely a must-have travel essential. Especially if you are on a daytime flight.
Also, if you are traveling through trains/long bus drives between countries or cities, this will also come in handy!
Â
Jewelry Organizer Bag
If there is something I used to hate while packing, is packing my jewelry. No matter what I tried, my jewelry will always get tangled up together, messed up, and that sucks.
But this product my friends, is definitely a game changer! Having a jewelry organizer bag is perfect for organizing your jewelry without having to worry about anything!
Your jewelry stays in it’s place, not tangled up together, and everything will stay in it’s place no matter what.
Reusable Shopping Bags
I’m all about being an eco-friendly traveler and saving our environemnt.Â
One of the little things you can change in your daily life and travel routine is using resuable shopping bags instead of getting a million plastic bags that you will eventually throw away.
While traveling, and especially when I’m staying at an Airbnb apartment, I like buying groceries and using these reusable shopping bags.
This way, I don’t take plastic bags from theh supermarket and harm our planet.
Laundry Bag
I never travel without a laundry bag. I don’t like the idea of mixing clean clothes with dirty clothes. So I like separating them.
I like using reusable laundry bags because of the same reason I talked about previously.
This is a great high-quality laundry bag, you just simply close it and that’s it!
Â
Reusable Water Bottle
I only came to this realisation recently, but when you think about it, you spend so much money on water bottles while traveling.
For example, if a small water bottle costs a dollar, and you buy 4 bottles a day because you are thirsty, it becomes $4 a day.
If you are on vacation for a week, 4X7=28. This means you’ll spend an extra $28 on small water bottles that once again, are not eco-friendly at all.
That’s why having a reusable water bottle that you can easily refill is always a great idea.
Â
Headphones
I think headphones or earbuds are a must-have in general in your everyday life, but it’s also important while traveling!
I like using headphones during flights and not earbuds because I feel like it’s more comfortable in your ears for a longer time.
Â
An Iphone Isn’t Enough, Bring a Camera!
There are so many phones with great and amazing cameras, I know. But having a one, professional camera to take high quality photos during your trip is a must.
GoPro
A GoPro, or any other extreme waterproof camera is a must-have while traveling!
Before getting myself a GoPro, I missed out on too many amazing pictures opprotunities that I could’ve took underwater in the Seychelles, or even documenting my ziplining experience in Russia.
Get yourself a GoPro and start making some amazing videos and photos!
