If you don’t travel often, packing is hard. Heck, even if you do travel often it can still be hard!

Over the years I have tried all the travel gear, this page has the things I use and like enough that I would buy them again.

6 Inches Magnetic Chess Set Board Game

Small, easy to pack, magnetic pieces make it perfect for travel

Soft Reusable Ear Plugs for Sleeping

Works so well I almost couldn’t hear my alarm clock.

3 in 1 Charging Station for Apple Devices

Small, easy to pack and reduces the number of cords i need.

Mission Paris: A Scavenger Hunt Adventure

This book kept the kids entertained in Paris.

LENCENT Multiple USB Wall Charger

Small, easy to pack, i even use it at home for extra USB outlets.

DOACE® 220V to 110V Converter, 2000W Travel Voltage Converter

I bought this mainly to use with my hair dryer. It is rather bulky but a good variety of plug options combined into one.

Micro Arcade Tetris

Perfect for the kids, small enough to take anywhere. Essential entertainment for the long lines at Disney and keeps them entertained at restaurants.

Hidden Airtag Holder for Kids

I may be slightly paranoid so I air tag my kids when we travel.

BaBylissPRO TT Tourmaline Titanium Travel Dryer

In October 2019, I used a hair dryer provided by the hotel and burned a chunk of hair off. I will NEVER travel without my own hair dryer. This one is small but powerful.

Neck Pillow for Traveling

I have only used this neck pillow on one flight, but it was an 8-hour overnight. I never understood the point of neck pillows until the flight. I won’t pack this for every trip, but if I have an overnight and I am not in the fancy seats, I think it’s essential.

TSA Approved Toiletry Bag

I use one for liquids and one for dry stuff. Easy to clean and TSA approved.

HydroJug Traveler – 32 oz

This cup DOES NOT LEAK. No need to say anything else.
