We've done a bit of traveling this year. So we want to share the things that we repeatedly find ourselves saying, "I'm so glad we have this!" Trippd Toiletry BagWe stayed in 3 different places during our 2 weeks in Italy. And it was easy-peasy to zip up this all-in-one toiletry bag, pack it in my suitcase, and unzip it again at our next destination. Oh, and it might look compact but it holds ALL of my toiletries. (Way better than the 3 separate bags I used before...)
Portable chargersYour phone is essential when you travel. It's your πmap, πΈ camera, β clock. Maybe your entertainment while you wait in line. And maybe you even use it as an βοΈ actual phone β scandalous π β to call your family while you're out of town. That's why you need a solid, fast, reliable portable charger like this one. We have 2, and it's not unusual to see us filming in town connected to this. (Bonus: Little Aplin likes to pretend like it's his phone, haha!)
HumanGear StaxWhen we first got these, I wasn't sure if I'd use them. But now, I wish I had twice as many. These stackable containers are perfect for snacks (in the larger size) and vitamins (in the smaller version).
SPFHello Italian sunshine and Swiss altitude. π SPF is essential when we're spending hours outside. I love all of Jane Iredale's SPF makeup (especially this one), but all of us wear the sheer SPF chapstick. It's always stashed in our hiking bag!
Swiss Coupon PassThis buy-one-get-one-free booklet more than pays for itself! We've already used it more times than we can count, at too many places to list! If you're following any of our Guides, this is the perfect companion.
Final mention: Away luggageIt goes without saying that we get in our miles with our Away suitcases (the classic carry on) and duffel (the everywhere bag)! Especially now that our toddler thinks it's fun to just push it around the hotel, haha!
