Pack Like a Pro: My Fav Travel Essentials

We all have that one friend who shows up to the airport effortlessly chic, fully hydrated, reading a Kindle, and somehow not sweating profusely in the security line. Want to be that person? You’re in luck.

This Prime Day, I’m spilling my carry-on — and rounding up my go-to travel essentials that keep me (and my clients) organized, comfy, and two steps ahead of the travel chaos.

🧳 The MVPs of My Travel Game

I travel with these items, no questions. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. I only recommend products I truly love and use myself.

• Owala Water Bottle – Because airport hydration is a sport and this bottle has main character energy.

• Kindle Paperwhite – Books without bulk. Poolside reads just got a glow-up.

• Away-Style Luggage – Sleek, smooth-rolling, and and built for travelers who don’t mess around.

• Silk Sleep Mask – Because cabin lights and crying babies exist, and those amenity kit masks just don’t cut it.

• Small portable sound machine - Sleep is non-negotiable when you’re sightseeing all day. This helps drown out any potential noise if you’re a light sleeper like me.

• Universial Travel Adapter - A must-have for charging all the things abroad — laptop, phone, toothbrush, you name it.

• Air Tag - I try not to check bags, but when I do, this gives me peace of mind (and a location update in baggage purgatory).

• Passport Holder / Travel Document Organizer – Because your passport deserves a first-class experience too.

• Packing cubes - My backpacking days in South America made me a die-hard cube convert. I use these to keep outfits sorted and suitcase chaos at bay.

These aren’t just pretty products — they’re sanity-saving, suitcase-worthy staples I actually use.
