UPDATED 2025
I’ve been asked so many times over the years for things I love to travel with. Now that I’ve had some decent time on my hands, I finally complied a list for you. This isn’t a comprehensive packing list, but just all the things I grab when I travel!
All Travel Essentials
- Eye mask
- Travel pillow
- Apple AirTags – I have in my purse, backpack and ALL pieces of luggage
- AirFly – We each have one and love them! They make great stocking stuffers.
- Favorite luggage – I have tried so many brands and pieces and these are my absolutely favorite! They are lightweight, expandable, roll smoothly, and have completely free inside compartments that don’t restrict packing. We have 4 pieces of this luggage and love it. Ours have seen thousands of miles and have held up great.
- Backpack – I have also tried a variety of carry-ons and always come back to this Campus Backpack! I love everything about it – the compartments, niced sized side pockets, padded straps, ability to slide over suitcase, lightweight (until I pack it up), laptop sleeve and more. It does come in non-Disney patterns too. :-)
- Luggage locks
- Packing cubes – I personally have 3 sets and use it for every trip! For short trips I pack by day, and for long trips I pack them by item (ie. sweaters, short sleeved, pants, dresses, etc.)
- Compression bags – We use these for ski trips
- Wine bags – I keep at least two of these in the front pouch of my suitcase. We’ve been so glad we had them more times than we can count, especially when traveling internationally.
- Charger – This one holds a lot of charge but is bulky. I keep in the backpack.
- More portable charger – I carry this one in my cross body and like that I can charge but not need a cord
International Travel Essentials
- Curling iron
- Travel plug adapter – for the four of us, we take two
- Travel dress – Don’t laugh, but this is my long haul travel dress. It is basically a nightgown. I mean, it has “nap” in the name. :-) I don’t wear a bra with it, it doesn’t wrinkle, it doesn’t have a waist band, it does have pockets and you depart and arrive looking cute! I have an old long navy cardigan that is super snuggly that I wear over the top.
