My Favorite Travel Products :: Top 50

385

After all my years of traveling I have put together a list of my favorite travel products that I’ve come across that make being on the road + on a plane much more bearable. I thought I’d just put them all together here in a comprehensive list for you to make it easy to reference. Check out all of My Favorite Travel Products!

Pack it Up!

My Favorite Travel Products ::
You’ve got this in the bag

:: Carry on suitcase

My favorite carry on suitcase is the Delsey hard case spinner which has four wheels which makes for easy steering + relieving the weight off your arm, includes an outside pocket which is perfect for a computer, tablet, paperwork, etc. + can expand up to 2″ larger. All zippers lock together so that they don’t risk getting broken off when traveling. It is the perfect carry on for a one- or two-week trip. OK two weeks takes some real expertise but I know you can do it!

Seriously :: One of My Favorite Travel Products!

:: Packing Cubes

With the eBags ultimate packing cubes or eBags 6pc packing cubes I can stay completely organized. When I get to my destination I just unzip my packing cubes + lay them in a drawer. No unpacking necessary. These packing cubes have been a game changer in my travels. Another one of My Favorite Travel Products!

My Favorite Travel Products ::
Splish splash

:: Waterproof bags

When going to the tropics or a beach there are a few things that I always make sure to bring. To keep my belongings dry while on the water I always bring my Weeds waterproof dry bag + GRP waterproof phone pouches which come in a 2-pack so I use one for my phone + the other for my passport, etc.

:: Water shoes

I also always bring my Bare Run water shoes because the ocean isn’t always sandy. I can walk around on the sand + in the ocean in comfort + without risking cutting my foot on a rock or something. I love my water shoes!

:: Snorkel mask

I love snorkeling but I never did get used to the traditional mask + snorkel so I was always discouraged to go. I would constantly get water in my mask + in my snorkel + it would just freak me out. But with my Seaview 180 full-face snorkel mask I have enjoyed snorkeling more than ever! I’m so glad I tried it :: I can breathe normally through my nose + mouth. And if I go down below the snorkel has a valve that closes up so I don’t swallow any water. Game changer for me for sure. Yet another one of My Favorite Travel Products!

My Favorite Travel Products ::
Back on your feet

:: Crocs

One thing I wear on my feet almost on the daily in the tropics or at the beach is one of my favorite travel products :: Crocs Capri V flip flops. They serve me well as sandals as well as walking shoes, that’s how comfortable they are. I’ve been wearing mine for four years + they haven’t worn out a bit. I may have to get a pair in another color because they certainly don’t need replacing.

“Connecting” the dots

:: Travel adaptor

For international connections I recommend the Limechoes adaptor. This incredible adaptor works well in all countries + even includes a couple of USB ports for your electronic devices.

:: Power strip

And in order to stay connected it’s always a smart idea to bring a power strip + my favorite is the travel-sized Belkin with a surge protector. One adaptor + my power strip + I can charge all of my devices in one fell swoop [if you’re not familiar with that phrase it comes from Shakespeare meaning “all at once” But you probably figured that out…]

My Favorite Travel Products ::
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

:: Travel flat iron

Over the years my hair has become so unruly :: it’s probably the grey coming in 🙁 . So because of that I’ll never leave home without my Lunata travel-sized flat iron. I use it to tame my mane + can also be used to touch up some wrinkles in my clothes. It’s so small + takes up hardly any room in my bag so I make my flat iron a priority.

:: Hair oil

And when I’m out + about in the water I also need my Living proof no frizz nourishing oil. If I’m not in in my room or don’t have time to use my flat iron I can feel confident this oil will tame my frizzies while I’m out. I spray some into my palm, rub my hands together + run them through my hair. Ahhhhhh… I don’t have to be Monica! [If you don’t know what I’m talking about watch “The One in Barbados.” Make sure to watch to at least the 4:00 minute mark :: you’ll thank me! HA!]

:: Your beautiful face

A product I’ve been using for several years is great to take on your travels :: Boots 7 Serum + Day + Night Creams [voted #1 by Good Housekeeping] that come in a great set so all you have to do is put them in plastic travel-sized containers if you want to take them in your carry on + so they fit in your 3-1-1 TSA approved bag + you’re ready to get gorgeous + go!

:: Dental care

The Quip battery-operated toothbrush is fairly new + makes it so when I travel I don’t have to plug in my bulky electric toothbrush like I do at home. Quip is compact, the perfect size for traveling + it comes with its own cover. It has a timer so you know how long to brush. When you subscribe they will send you a new battery pack + brush head for $5 every 3 months [free shipping]. And they’ll send you the first set FREE! And it’s so cute, don’t you think! I love it!

And I know it seems like it would be easy enough to just buy toothpaste at my destination but I am one of those people who will only use my favorite brand [a full tube won’t fit in my 3-1-1 bag]. So the Toothpaste2Go travel-size toothpaste refiller allows me to prepare it before I travel + I don’t have to bring a full tube of my favorite paste.

On the Plane

My Favorite Travel Products ::
Mama’s got a brand new bag

:: Carry on bag

Oh Em Gee! My Favorite Travel Product ever :: Carry on bag is the Rajin by Laga. It fits perfectly under the seat in front of me. And it is so beautiful I get compliments on it everywhere I go. There are lots of different colors to choose from. Read the story about the company that makes these. I think you may just be compelled to buy one + support this amazing cause.

:: Accessories bag

Another product by Laga is the Tari bag which works great to hold all your charging cords. I am sure there are any number of things that can be stored in this beautiful bag + sometimes I travel with several. It also comes in a mini. Oooh + a little cross body bag perfect for traveling… oh gosh, there are so many styles to choose from it may be difficult to choose. Sorry!

My Favorite Travel Products ::
You wear it well

:: Pants

To ensure a comfortable flight these lightweight cargo pants will do the trick. Made by SCOTTeVEST these pants have several pockets + are so lightweight + comfortable :: this is an incredible find.

:: Tops

I layer my tops starting with a comfortable camisole, t-shirt + lightweight cardigan. I also love the Janska Annie’s Wrap [I’m so sad they went out of business :: there are just a few left] that serves as an easy to put on + take off cover/blanket which also has two convenient pockets. I can see myself in my seat, feeling so warm + cozy. Just thinking about it makes me motivated to go!

:: Outerwear

And again by the same maker as the cargo pants my travel vest by SCOTTeVEST is seriously one of my favorite travel products in the category :: garments. If you prefer having sleeves the travel jacket by SCOTTeVEST is another great option. Either way these garments include 16 + 23 pockets, respectively, + will hold everything you could possibly need at a moment’s notice as you’re traveling.

:: Foot/leg wear

On a long flight it is imperative to wear compression socks. It can’t be explained how much more comfortable your flight will be. Dr. Scholl’s wool sneakers are amazingly comfortable + make you feel as though you are walking on air :: in the AIR. HA! They really are perfect for traveling. Another suggestion that will add to your comfort :: bring a foldable pair of ballet slippers that you can slip into during those long flights. Hey, it’s a way better option than walking into the bathroom in your bare feet or in socks! Eeeew! Trust me!

My Favorite Travel Products ::
You may as well just sleep on it

:: A few comfort aids

Here are some of my favorite travel products that will ensure a comfortable rest or sleep :: footrest by Starkio [being able to put your feet up will make a huge difference in your flying experience], Daydreamer inflatable travel pillow, Hearos Xtreme ear plugs + ergonomic sleep mask. Those all go without explanation. Getting some sleep isn’t always possible on a plane but these products will give you the best chance of catching those much-needed zzzz.

My Favorite Travel Products ::
Refresh yourself

:: Freshen your breath

Especially after a long flight it’s always nice to freshen up a bit. I love Colgate Wisps for my teeth. They are so convenient. I also bring some fresh mints to freshen my breath + Bert’s Bees honey throat lozenges to help with dry throat.

:: Wonders for your face and hair

For my eyes I use Refresh eyedrops + for my face it’s Dr. Jart deep hydration dermask + Mychelle tinted moisturizer. Those are great to freshen up + make you feel human again right before you land. And for my hair I bring my very favorite foldable wet hair brush with mirror. It’s not only good for easy brushing wet hair but it detangles better than any other brush I’ve ever used. At home I use the full-sized version.

:: Don’t neglect your body

I was recommended to amazing cream by my SIL who ranted + raved about it one day. And I completely agree with her. Medix retinol cream for my arms, hands, legs + feet are the best especially after that dry airplane air. I squeeze some into some travel-sized containers (again) to be sure it will fit in my 3-1-1 bag. As a matter of fact I use them for other makeup products as well.

My Favorite Travel Products ::
A healthy mind in a healthy body

:: Hydration and Nutrition

Not all airlines serve food + snacks + certainly not free of charge anymore + if they do it’s not always nutritious. So I’m always prepared with some dried fruit + nuts / trail mix + maybe some granola bars. And if you pack the Nomader collapsible water bottle can be filled after passing TSA + keep you hydrated at all times during your travels.

:: Keep germs at bay

Not just one of my favorite travel products but one of the most important things I bring on every trip is a box of EmergenC to stave off any germs flying all around me. And speaking of germs why not include an All-Day sanitizer pen as well? Better safe than sorry!

My Favorite Travel Products ::
We live in a digital world

:: Electronics

When I’m awake I am always compelled to do some work on my Macbook Air or watch a pre-downloaded movie from Amazon Prime. The Active noise cancelling headphones are pretty affordable as headphones go. My iPhone X is always with me for anything from calendar reminders to alarms to flight information [+ to always being able to tell the correct time!] so I make sure to always have on hand my Jackery portable charger + at least one of my iPhone charger cables.

:: If I don’t have a video of it, did it really happen??

To record all of my activities on land + in the sea I never leave home without my GoPro Hero5 Black. I know there is a new one out but I still love mine. And Oh My Goodness what great underwater snorkeling shots I’ve gotten on my GoPro! I can actually leave it on for hours as I’m traveling + it will record everything I’m doing. I love it! Be sure to get the battery charger + extra batteries. You do not want to run out of juice at the most spectacular place in the world you’ve ever been to! One of my favorite travel products of all time.

My Favorite Travel Products ::
Don’t forget!

There are some other things you might think about bringing… [just kidding :: you NEED to bring this stuff] ::

**Passport

**Credit cards + Cash

**Copies of Important Documents

**Medications

Travel Insurance

Another one of my favorite travel products is travel insurance can surely give you peace of mind. World Nomads Travel Insurance is completely affordable + it covers not only your flights + baggage but also medical emergencies + trip cancellation. Consider getting it! You’ll thank me later.
