Hey fellow adventurers! Ready to elevate your travel game? I’ve curated a list of my favorite Amazon finds that have become absolute essentials in my globetrotting journey. And guess what? Many of these gems are not just for travel; they seamlessly blend into everyday life too.
But before we dive in, a quick heads-up: This post contains affiliate links. Rest assured, I only endorse products I personally use and trust. By clicking through and making a purchase, you’re not only getting top-notch items but also supporting my adventures – thank you!
Luggage
- Packing Cubes: If you don’t have them already, they are a must-have! They make it easier to fit more and help keep you organized on the go! They are inexpensive, and there are tons to choose from. I love these cute little cactus cubes. I’ve travelled regularly with mine for about two years and love them!
- Travel-sized bottles: I love these refillable travel-size bottles for your shampoo, conditioner, etc. I don’t care what anyone says – bring shampoo and conditioner! On my last trip, I was reading tips on how people save room in their bags by using hotel shampoo and conditioner. I didn’t pack any. Only to be ultimately let down when none – and I mean none of the hotels I stayed in had conditioner! After spending many days in the sun and some in the ocean, my hair was fried, I so regretted not having my conditioner along for the ride.
Personal Care/Fashion
- Baby Wipes: Whether you have babies or not, I always carry a pack of baby wipes. I especially like these as they are unscented and have aloe. You never know when you might need to wipe yourself or something down!
- Covergirl Priming Face Mist – A quick spritz of refreshment post-flight or after a long day of exploring – pure bliss.
- Under eye patches – Say goodbye to travel fatigue with these rejuvenating patches. Perfect for a mid-flight pick-me-up!
- Wrinkle Releaser Spray – Great for longer trips to give your clothes a refresh and reduce wrinkles.
- Hair scarf scrunchies – I usually travel very comfortably and find these hair scrunchies spice up my outfits with an elegant touch. In a pinch when I had to check a bag last minute, I’ve also used one on my luggage to identify it more easily.
- Neutrogena Suncare – My go-to face sunscreen is the Neutrogena Suncare SPF 50. Not only does it provide stellar protection against harmful rays, but its compact size – under 100ml – makes it a breeze to carry in your carry-on, no hassles at security. Sunscreen? Check. Adventure-ready!
- PartySmart – Planning to indulge in a few drinks while on vacation? Say hello to your new best friend: PartySmart capsules. Pop one of these before your festivities begin, and bid farewell to those dreaded hangover blues. Cheers to worry-free celebrations!
- Anastasia Beverly Hills – Eyebrow pencil – For flawless brows that last all day, my top pick is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyebrow Pencil. Trust me, I’ve tried them all, and this one reigns supreme. Though it’s a tad pricier, the results speak for themselves – totally worth the splurge for those perfectly sculpted brows that stay put from sunrise to sunset.
Electronics
- Air pod adaptor – Transform your in-flight entertainment experience with this game-changing adaptor – a must-have for AirPod users.
- Portable Battery Bank – Stay charged on the go with this solar-powered lifesaver, perfect for outdoor adventures.
- Canon Rebel T7i – Of course you want a good camera while travelling! I purchased the Canon Rebel T7i, which is good for photo and video. This is a package which includes a carrying case, additional lenses and supplies. The tripod is not good quality – I won’t use it but I use everything else and love this camera. I recently went on a safari and without it our pictures and trip wouldn’t have been captured in quality.
Miscellaneous
- National Parks Journal: For my fellow National Park enthusiasts, this is a cute journal where you can log all your visits and collect your stamps. It also makes a great gift.
