Don't Forget!
No matter where our clients are traveling, a few items make their way onto almost every packing list we share with them. If you are traveling soon, you still have time to order these things from Amazon Prime!
Safety First
Listen up, guys! Never ever ever ever carry your wallet in your back pocket in Europe. Pickpockets are skilled at their craft! Don't take the chance of losing your cash, credit cards, and identification. Instead, wear a lightweight neck wallet under your shirt. (Don't take it out in public to remove money or your passport).
Pick-pocketers have moved past your pockets. Brazen thieves will pluck phones right from the hands of unsuspecting tourists, distracted while following Google maps or taking epic selfies for Instagram. A great way to protect your property is to attach it to your body. This lanyard has two interchangeable options - a crossbody strap and a wrist strap. It's also useful for those on a cruise or while ziplining so you don't drop your phone!
In keeping with our anti-theft theme (because nothing ruins a vacation quite like a stolen or lost phone, passport, or wallet), we recommend that ladies carry a crossbody bag with a zipper. Alternatively, consider this sling that doesn't weigh down your shoulder. It's super helpful at the airport, keeping your travel documents within quick reach.
There are many destinations with unsafe drinking water. If there's no bottled water in sight, what do you do? Carry a reusable water bottle, like this one from LifeStraw, that filters out dangerous bacteria as you drink from it.
If you need a water bottle that is small, lightweight, and easy to carry with you while hiking, biking, or camping, consider this Katadyn water filtration system.
Get Organized
Slide this slim case into your carry-on, filled with every device charger you will need while traveling. We keep one packed and ready to go at home, with all of our electrical outlet adapters and converters.
Do you ever find yourself juggling too many things in the airport? Work smarter, not harder, with this convenient suitcase accessory.
If you are going farther on your trip, hopping from destination to destination, you have surely experienced the stress that comes with repacking your suitcase. While packing cubes make it easier to stay organized, Bagsmart's compression packing cubes make it easier to look organized, too. You will never see a tidier suitcase! (Bonus: you can't fit more, too.)
Stay Dry
From water activities to rainforest visits, savvy travelers rely on dry bags. They keep your stuff safe from moisture. We've used small ones to hold our towels while tubing and large ones to hold our clothes in the jungle. No matter which size you need, Earth Pak has them all - and in fun colors, too!
Are you going on a cruise with plans to plant yourself on a beautiful beach in the Caribbean? If so, you'll need a beach towel, but with little room to dry yours in the cabin, opt for a Bagail quick-dry travel towel. It's convenient storage case allows you to pack it up while still damp, without any unpleasant odors. (Bonus: the case is awesome for packing sandy water shoes, too!)
Have you ever found yourself in another country wondering why your room has bath towels and hand towels, but no washcloths? Throw a couple of these compressed towels in your suitcase and you'll never have to worry about that again!
The Stuff You Didn't Know You Needed, But Now Wonder How You Lived Without!
It's so tiny, you might think it's a toy, but it works great! It comes in lots of colors, too. Just be sure to pair it with a voltage converter.
If you do a lot of steaming and traveling abroad, this dual voltage garment steamer from Conair eliminates the need for a converter, while also having the capacity and durability for regular use at home.
You can still smell nice on vacation without having to bring a full bottle of perfume or cologne. This 4-pack of atomizers makes it practical to travel with more than one fragrance.
If wine tasting is on your itinerary, don't kid yourself. You know you'll want to buy a bottle to bring home! Keep it safe in your suitcase with these reusable wine bags.
For wine on the go, this convenient carrying case includes plastic wine glasses, a bottle stopper, and a corkscrew.
Let's take it a step further. If you are traveling by train through Europe, you're going to need this bag. Enjoy a bottle of wine (or two!) using the included tumblers, corkscrew, and wine stopper. Then take it up a notch with a knife and cutting board, perfect for cheese and bread.
