5 Essentials I’m Packing on my Next Trip Abroad

5. Travel Adapter

When I first travelled abroad, one of the first essentials I bought was a travel plug adapter. I needed a way to charge my phone and headphones, and I preferred to not buy a new charger for every specific location I travelled to! With a travel adapter, I can connect my own USA plug through the front, or my USB-C cord on the side, and flip open the international option I need so I can plug it into an outlet. This adapter works in Europe, the UK, Australia, and the USA: https://amzn.to/3SZV4zb

4. Passport Holder

Probably the most important thing I’ll bring on my trip is my passport, so I like to treat it like the precious cargo it is - by keeping it protected in a passport holder. The one I currently use I found at Anthropologie years ago, but soon I’ll need an upgrade. This decorative holder by Rifle Paper Co is at the top of my list: https://amzn.to/4xSOkDj

3. Packing Cubes

The more I travel, the better I get at packing my suitcase, (even though there’s still room for improvement.) Packing isn’t only about lugging all of my clothes to my destination - I want to stay organized while on my trip, and keep things under control when packing for my trip home! Packing cubes are a simple way that have made my packing experience organized and efficient. This option on Amazon comes with a bag for each category of item I could possibly pack for my travels: https://amzn.to/4ydfe95

2. Portable Charger

I’ve made the mistake of assuming that the restaurant/cafe/bar will have an outlet to charge my phone too many times! After using my phone all day to take pictures, navigate the city, and communicate with my friends, my phone is always in desperate need of a charge. I never want the feeling of being stranded at 0% again, so now I’m always prepared with a portable charger. This option by Anker is both compact and powerful: https://amzn.to/4vB15AZ

1. BAGGU Small Nylon Crescent Bag

What will hold all of these important travel items of mine while I’m walking around each new city? Something not too bulky, but still roomy. A bag that’s practical, but also matches all of my outfits. Behold, the Baggu Small Nylon Crescent Bag! I have it in black, but I’m considering other colors for my future trips: https://amzn.to/4xZNWD1
