5 Must Haves When Traveling
Here are the five things I can not travel without. Having these items with me ease my travel experience.
Suitcase Scale — Never stress about if your suitcase is going to overweight at the check-in desk. I have saved myself the embarrassment of having to open my luggage in front of strangers by always bringing a scale with me.
This exact scale isn’t available anymore but here is a similar one that will get the job done.
2. Portable Charger — I get major anxiety if my phone is dying and I am nowhere near a charger. I like my Apple MagSafe charger, but it doesn’t give the phone a good full charge like the two below do. Which is why I travel with one of the below options. The “EnergyCell Pilot” can give you up to 3-5 full phone charges and has a quick charging port. The Omni charger is bulkier, but you can charge an entire laptop with it.
Portable charger that gives you up to 5 full charges. I got it from Amazon.
The heavy duty charger with multiple charging options. Best for long hauls or rural travel. Also from Amazon.
3. Tripod — Tripods that I can throw into a purse are my favorite when traveling. Both options are great, definitely two different price points. The reason I love the ShiftCam is because there is an option to get the selfie stick, grip, ring light, and the grip doubles as a phone charger. Ever since I got the ShiftCam, I tend to leave my charger pack at home and just bring my ShiftCam grip.
Simple tripod, this one is discontinued now, but here is a similar one and it comes with a light.
ShiftCam tripod complete kit. You can buy individual parts as well. This is the exact item link.
4. Travel Bottles — I can NOT do hotel shampoo and conditioner, I always have to take my own. Sets like these below allow me to do just that. As well as put some of my other essential items into smaller bottles to reduce weight.
My set is from Target and can be found here.
Here is a similar option from Amazon.
5. Jewelry Box — I like my jewelry organized and these boxes below allow for that. They are compact enough to toss into your purse.
My jewelry box is from Nordstrom and can be found here.
Here is one from Amazon.
