As wonderful as travel is, it can also be a hassle. Trying to fit everything into your suitcase, panicking as your phone battery dwindles away, your expensive luggage taking a beating, trying to get comfortable in an impossibly small airline seat. It’s no wonder people get so cranky!
But with these ten travel essentials, those days of frustration are over!
These travel accessories will help you pack better, stay charged, protect your belongings, skip lines, and get cozy on your next adventure.
1. Portable Power Strip & Converter
The Bestek Travel Adapter not only allows you to plug in multiple things at once, it also helps you stay charged when traveling abroad! This convenient power strip has 3 plugs, 4 USB ports, and 3 adapters for use in over 150 countries. Plus, it converts foreign voltage to ensure your electronics aren’t fried. It’s a must when traveling overseas!
2. Portable Charger
The Jackery portable charger is a gem when it comes to keeping your electronics powered up. With 12000mAh power and dual lightening fast charging, this compact power bank makes recharging your phone on the go a breeze! In addition, it also has an LED flashlight to shed a little light when you’re away. It’s the best portable charging stick on the market!
3. Packing Cubes
Stay organized on your next trip with packing cubes! They not only help you pack more into your suitcase, they also keep you organized on the go. There’s even a Clean/Dirty Cube to separate clothing that may be a bit smelly or wet (making it perfect for keeping the rest of your belongings dry when you have a wet swimsuit!)
4. Compression Bags
Pack more into less space by using compression bags. These things are a must for long vacations when you need to bring a lot of clothes (but don’t want to be schlepping through the airport with a suitcase the size of a small apartment). Using them, I’m able to fit a month’s worth of outfits into my small carry-on suitcase (and still had room for souvenirs!)
5. Suitcase Cover
If you’re tired of your luggage looking like it’s taken a beating then you need a suitcase cover! Not only will a cover protect your suitcase from scratches and scuffs, but it also makes it easy to identify on the luggage carousel. Added bonus – you can expect a lot of compliments as you sassily stroll through the airport with your luggage in tow.

6. Trtl Travel Pillow
The Trtl Travel Pillow makes it easy to get comfortable in a cramped airplane seat. This scientifically tested travel pillow keeps your head in a comfortable, ergonomic position with a soft, fleece lining. It’s also designed to easily attach to baggage straps for hands-free carrying. No more head bobbing wake-up calls for you!
7. Eye Mask
A comfy eye mask is a must on overnight flights. These compact and handy accessories keep you from unwelcome sleep interruptions by blocking out reading lights, the sun, and cabin lighting. Wake up refreshed and ready to explore!
8. Go Anywhere Carry On
Rather than settling for a small personal item, use something that allows you to bring a little more! I always travel with my Vera Bradley Go Anywhere Carry On to pack my camera gear, electronics, or suitcase overflow. By doing so, I can bring more on my journeys in a bag that conveniently fits under the seat in front of me. It even has a rear strap to hold it in place on your suitcase (how easy is that!)
9. RFID Blocking Passport Cover
Protect your personal information with an RFID blocking passport cover. This handy gadget not only keeps would-be identity thieves away, but it also keeps you organized on the go. With several eye-catching covers to choose from, the only question is which style you will choose!
10. Mobile Passport App
Skip the impossibly long customs line by downloading the Mobile Passport App. This free app is authorized by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to American citizens and Canadian visitors to cut down on the time it takes to get through customs. Plus, upon arrival it allows you to skip filling out the paper entry form for a short questionnaire on your phone instead. Using it, I’ve breezed through customs in less than 2 minutes!
And there you have it! Ten travel essentials that will make your life infinitely easier and your adventures more enjoyable.
