Portable Battery – My boyfriend bought a portable battery through a lightning deal on Amazon and it’s definitely one of those things I didn’t know I needed until I had one. I bring it on flights, long car rides, or just because my phone isn’t fully charged. I take a ton of photos on my phone when I travel and it’s convenient to have the battery in my pocket or backpack so I can charge my phone and keep using it at the same time.

Packing Cubes – I try to only bring my carry-on suitcase if possible on trips and packing cubes makes that a lot easier. They make my clothes more compact and organized. I love that I can get what I need out of my suitcase without having to take everything out.

Water Bottle – It’s important to stay hydrated when you’re traveling. I own a lot of different water bottles but this is the one I use 99% of the time.

Field Notes – I love these little books for taking notes, planning, and writing down ideas. They’re the perfect size for carrying around.

Larabars – I’m not a huge breakfast person so if I’m in a rush in the morning, I’ll eat a Larabar to save time. They also make a great snack. Chocolate chip cookie dough is my favorite flavor 🙂

Airborne – I always get a bottle of Airborne tablets before traveling. I’ll take one if I’m feeling a little under the weather.

Purell – I’m not a germaphobe but you never know when you’ll need some hand sanitizer when you’re out and about.
