Luggage & Packing Essentials

Living out of a suitcase doesn’t have to be chaotic. Here is how we keep everything organized on the road.

• Our Favorite Packing Cubes: We will never travel without these again. They act like portable drawers, keeping our clothes compressed and organized so we don’t have to completely unpack at every new hotel.
• Leak-Proof Travel Toiletry Bottles: Hotel shampoo isn’t always the best. To save space while bringing our favorite products from home, we use these squeezable, leak-proof travel bottles. 
• The Anti-Theft Crossbody Bag: Whether we are wandering the crowded streets of Venice or a night market in Bangkok, we use a sleek, anti-theft crossbody bag to hold our passports and wallets. It has locking zippers and slash-proof material for ultimate peace of mind. 

Travel Tech & Photography

From navigating foreign cities to capturing the perfect photos, this is the tech we never leave home without.

• High-Capacity Portable Power Bank: Using your phone for Google Maps, taking hundreds of photos, and translating languages will drain your battery fast. We always carry this fast-charging power bank in our day bag. 
• Universal Travel Adapter: When we traveled to Europe and Asia, this was a lifesaver. Instead of bringing five different plugs, this single adapter works in almost every country in the world and has multiple USB ports to charge all our devices at once. 

Flight Comfort & Sleep

Getting a good night’s sleep is the secret to beating jet lag and enjoying your trip.

• Silicone Travel Earplugs: We love staying in charming, historic boutique hotels, but older buildings can sometimes have thin walls! These earplugs are incredibly comfortable and guarantee a great night’s sleep anywhere in the world. 
• Packable Sun Hat: Perfect for the intense sun in the Mediterranean or the beaches of Southeast Asia. We love these hats because you can completely crush it at the bottom of your suitcase, and it pops right back into shape when you unpack.
