Feet hammock airplane
This airplane hammock for your feet is great for when you are traveling long flights. I love that it can be hung over the airplane table and I can rest my feet when I’m tired. It is adjustable and it is really comfortable.
Collapsible handheld fan
I don’t know about how you deal with heat but I need a bit of cooling down when I’m traveling. This easy (and cute) fan is my go to for when I am too hot. It can be charged with usb which is super practical.
Airplane pocket
Being organized always makes me happy and when I saw this amazing pocket for over your airplane table I was sold. You place it over the table (so you instantly have a clean table) and you can add all you need, when you have a long flight.
Portable clothes line
Rather than to take to many clothes with me, I like to bring some detergent and a clothes line in order for me to wash and dry my items. It’s easy to connect it wherever you are, whether you are in a hotel room or hostel. I use it all the time.
Travel utensils
This super sleek utensil sit is beautiful and practical for when you are on the road. The plastic utensils you get at airports I don’t love and the paper straws are terrible. I love that this kit comes with a brush for the straw and even has chopsticks. Ps. Put the knife and fork in your checked luggage.
Cellphone holder
Watching movies or reading a book on my cellphone is common for me but looking down all the time wasn’t the best. This holder I can fasten easily on the airplane table which makes the experience of reading or watching movies way better. And it fold so flat that I hardly notice that I have it with me.
Door lock
My portable door lock goes everywhere with me. Especially as a solo traveler it makes me feel way more safe. It can be use in most doors (only a couple of times I wasn’t able to use it) and it’s super sturdy.
Mosquito bite relief
Instead of bringing another liquid I started to bring my amazing, small mosquito bite relief clicker. You place it on your bite, click a couple of times and it releases a small electrical discharge which inhibits histamine release – less histamine means less itching and swelling. Love it!
Waterproof dry bags
These bags I use all the time for different things. I do my laundry in them, use them as a hamper or bring them with me to the swimming pool or beach. Easy to clean and multiple ways to use them.
Collapsible sunglasses case
My sunglasses are a great way to accessorize my outfit and I want it to stay without scratches. This case is great for you in your purse or backpack. When you don’t use it, it folds flat which is great.
Sennheiser noise canceling headphones
The sound of traveling can be overwhelming. These Sennheiser noise canceling headphones I have used for more than 4 years and I still love them. 25h of battery, great noise canceling and the sound is wonderful. They pack small and they are not too heavy.
Memory foam travel pillow +mask and earplugs
I have tried so many pillows over the years and they still made my head flop around. What I love about these is that you can fasten them around your neck. Not for everyone but I love them.
Sleep mask two strings
You never know if the accommodation you are staying at has good curtains or not, so this mask is essential for a good night sleep. I don’t like the string to go over my ears so this one has two strings and I love it.
Pill case
Yes, I’m an organization freak and I’m happy to share. This pillbox is very useful for shorter trips.
Luggage scale
Don’t you love to shop when you are traveling? I do but I don’t like surprises when it comes to the weight of my luggage. My scale is definitely one of the things I always bring with me
Collapsible water bottle lightweight
If the country I’m traveling to has water fountains I like to take my water bottle. But. I like my water bottle to be lightweight and small. This collapsible one is great for my needs.
Compression bags without vacuum
When I’m staying in one place for long, the best way to bring my clothes is to make them as small as possible. And compression bags are the best for that. this is a 10 pack so this is well worth your bucks.
Packing cubes compression
And most people know that packing cubes will help you to organize your suitcase like a pro. Yes, they take up a bit of space and weight but I love how easy I can find everything. Plus these ones are compr
Baseball cap for ponytail or bun
One of my biggest wins in terms of sun protection are hats and baseball caps. But I have a lot of hair and with this baseball cap I can finally wear my hair in a bun or high ponytail. Win-win!
Sun hat for ponytail or bun
On days where I want to look a bit more put together I use this great sun hat, also with a whole for my bun or pony tail. Love it!!!

Reading on vacation is one of many delights. With this awesome e-reader I can read anywhere. It’s light weight and I only charge it before I go because the battery last for a long time.

Shoe bag set
Wherever you are going, with these practical shoe bags you will be able to protect your shoes and/or prevent you dirty shoes to be in contact with your other things.
Make-up brush pouch
Usually I bring some makeup with me but I didn’t like that my brushes were all over my toiletries bag, with this cute case they are no longer all over the place.
Electronics organizer
It can be very annoying keeping all your cables untangled and organized. This multi-pocketed pouch is ideal for all your cables and other bits of electronics.
Hero clips
Usually I have some hero clips in my bag pack or luggage just in case. But most likely I will use them immediately on my travels. In the airplane, to hang my bag or clothes or to clip something on my backpack. Easy and very useful.
XD Design roll top bag pack
My roll top backpack is almost 3 years old but I still use it every day, not only when I travel. Because of the roll top and the add lock system it is anti-theft. It’s also cut proof and water resistant. There is a separate section for your laptop and water bottle.
Compression socks
Especially on long travels I need my compression socks. Whenever I have forgotten to wear them my ankles are not happy. Take care of yourself and use them every time.
Make-up mirror
Yes, I love to dress up and do my make-up! This mirror is compact and has lights so even in the darkest circumstances I can use it. Easy to use with the usb cable. Of course I don’t take it with me on all of my travels but when I have the chance I take it along.
Travel adapter
Definitely a must have for all travelers who go to different countries all over the world. I especially like this one because you can detract the different plugs and there are 4 usb ports.
Power strip extension
It depends on where I’m going and how long I’m away but I enjoy this extension cords a lot. Easy to use and it can be stored small.
Adapter kit converter
So many of us have a lot of different devices and cables. When traveling I take this set with me in order to keep the cables to a minimum. Just change the adapter and go!
Mini speaker waterproof
I don’t know about you but I love to listen to music and this super small speaker is great for travel. It’s tiny and you can even use it in the shower.
Matador soap bar case
One of the best products from Matador, for sure. This soap bar pouche is great for all your soap and/or shampoo bars. You never have to worry about a dirty soapy container anymore.
Soap packages laundry
Because I like to do laundry on the go, I take soap with me. These individual packaged detergents are great for that purpose. Small and I place them somewhere in between where I find a little spot.
Shower cap reusable
This items is for everyone who doesn’t want to wash their hair every time they take a shower. Anyone here with curls? Plus if you have dirty shoes on your way back you can place them in there because you can wash this shower cap.
Toothpaste tablets
To reduce the amount of liquids you can opt for toothpaste taps like these. Place it in your mouth add a bit of water and start brushing your teeth. Sometimes I even put some in a smaller container and leave the rest at home.
Microfiber towels
Even when I go to a hotel I love to bring my microfiber towels. I use them for my hair, for when I go to a beach or swimming pool and I use them to get even more water out of my clothes after laundry.
Refillable silicone bottles
Of course you can buy mini products and use the containers after but what I love about these is that they are all the same, I can add a little label or just memorize by color what’s in there. Easy to clean and reuse over and over.
Snorkel inflatable vest
Snorkeling is very tiresome and that’s why I always bring a an inflatable snorkel vest. It allows me to stay in the water for longer. This inflatable one is great because you can fold it into a small package when you’re done.
Snorkel mask
This snorkel mask isn’t the smallest but it’s really good quality and you will not have any trouble with any water coming in. Really awesome for when you are in tropical places.
Water shoes
Of course these shoes don’t go with me to all travels but I do love them. Great for swimming in the ocean especially when you have a rocky bottom. No more cuts.
