This post is all about my latest travel essentials. As someone that has traveled quite a bit for work over the years, and loves to travel for pleasure, these are the products that I won’t travel without.
A good functional carryon bag is a must and I have used this exact bag for a few years. Not only is it quite affordable, it is really functional and durable. It has a waterproof pocket to protect your electronics and valuables from spilling.
The perfect carry-on or weekender bag, with multiple internal & external pockets, including a waterproof wet pocket. It's durable and tear resistant.
As a someone that likes to say fit, I find that going for a run in new locations is a great way to explore. Packing sunglasses that are comfortable for running and look good enough to wear while exploring are key. Goodr sunglasses are meet all my requirements: stylish, affordable, available in fun colors and won’t slip while running. Give them a try, you won’t regret it!
No slip. No bounce. All polarized. All fun.
A classic frame shape with timeless appeal that will always be in style.
I try to travel with the least amount of shoes possible so I usually opt for a versatile option and my Veja shoes are the current go-to.
For a more affordable option, I love my knit Converse shoes. They are very comfortable and breathable. If you are interested, click the link here.
Great white sneakers that you can wear with a pair of jeans, pants or a dress. Perfect for travel!
Bringing a reusable water bottle on a plane is essential for convenience, to save money (water bottles in airports are expensive!) and it’s better for the environment. It allows me to stay hydrated throughout my travels. This Owala bottle is my latest favorite.
This 24-ounce insulated stainless-steel water bottle with a FreeSip spout and push-button lid with lock and prefect for anyone on the go.
During the past few trips, I have been using the Stasher bags for almost everything. I use the larger ones for my underwear, the pocket sized ones for hair ties the stand up ones for skin and hair care products. And, I keep my passport in one as it protects it from any possible damage.
I love the fact that I don’t create any waste and once I get home can easily clean them by putting them in the dishwasher.
Stasher Reusable Silicone Bags are leak-free and perfect for home or travel.
I have tried many different sunscreens throughout the years and Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen is by far my favorite. It’s really lightweight, doesn’t make your skin look greasy. And doesn’t have a nasty smell like many others that I have tried. Once you try it, this is a product that you will keep coming back to over an over again. I dare you to give it a try!
Our most popular SPF, Unseen Sunscreen is a totally invisible, weightless, scentless formula that provides oil-free sunscreen protection for all skin types, tones, & lifestyles.
As far as I can remember, I have had some motion sickness issues while in a car. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there. I get motion sickness from pretty much anything that moves – cars, buses, trains, boats, etc. It hasn’t really stopped me from doing many things. I have developed some coping strategies with boats being the biggest problem. But, I’ve finally found something that works. Bonine has been a game changer for me and can now enjoy boating activities.
Bonine is an over-the-counter antiemetic that relieves nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness.
One Bonine chewable tablet can provide up to 24 hours of relief with motion sickness, sea sickness and air sickness.
In a world where we travel with many electronic devices needing different chargers, this charging station is a game changer. This Apple devices charging station folds up to take up virtually no space at all.
Wireless charging station for travel. Portable and foldable wireless charger that can charge for your Apple watch, phone and AirPods at the same time.
Layers are key while traveling since you can never truly predict the weather or control the temperature on the plane. A good, cozy sweatshirt is something that I always have in my bag.
Quality, lightweight, breathable, super soft fleece lined, this half zip sweatshirt will keep you warm all day.
When traveling, one of the most important things to be is to be comfortable and a must for me is lululemon Align pants. They are buttery-soft, breathable, and non restrictive. I have tried various brands through the years, but haven’t found anything comparable so far. I have heard great things about joggers (link here) that I will be trying out soon.
Lightweight, buttery-soft Nulu™ fabric wicks sweat and is four-way stretch.
AirTag have quick become one of my travel essentials. Have one in a checked bag isn’t a must, but it definitely provides me some peace of mind. If my bag doesn’t make it, having an AirTag won’t change that fact, but it will help me know what to expect when I land.

I have Burt’s Bees lip balms everywhere and would never travel without a few stashed in my bags. There are many different flavors available including the best one in my opinion, Coconut Pear.
Each balm is infused with responsibly sourced beeswax, nourishing oils and butter for a conditioning lip treatment that keeps your lips happy, healthy and juicy. And, they come in fun flavors like Berry Agua Fresca, Dragonfruit Lemon, Coconut and Pear, and Tropical Pineapple.
Finally, I have only recently discovered the AirFly Pro and it’s been a great find. What does it do? It allows you to used your AirPods to listen to the inflight audio. Not having to pack additional headphones is a great space saver. I highly recommend you purchase one before your next flight.
Wirelessly transmit audio from in-flight entertainment 3.5 audio jack. Use your AirPods, earbuds or wireless headphones anywhere with no more cords in the way. Now you don't have to sacrifice audio quality/comfort in flight.
