Our Travel Essentials For Any Trip

The more we travel, the more we realize what our Travel Essentials really are. We have grown as vagabonds in the sense that we are very particular about being comfortable while on the go.

We have gone on many trips without these items below to know that without them travel can be taxing!  Check out our Travel Essentials for any trip to keep things running smoothly while away!

A good set of Noise Canceling ear phones

A real game changer when it comes to travel. A pair of noise cancelling headphones really makes the difference on flights. They block out that loud engine, the crying baby in the back and are a good deterrent for that chatting seat neighbor. We use Beats by Dre because they deliver us that premium studio sound.

A black out eye mask

It’s time to stop settling for that flimsy complimentary eye mask and step up your travel game. A black out mask will deliver those ZZZ’s you so desperately want while keeping the light out. We also like the recessed eye cavities so you can open your eyes without smashing your eyelashes.

Cabeau Evolution Memory Foam Travel Pillow

Let’s face it, when it comes to sleeping on a plane it’s the most awkward and uncomfortable thing you there is. Until we are all rich enough to sleep laying flat in first class we might as well do our best to stay comfortable. We love this Neck Pillow by Cabeau Evolution Memory Foam Travel Pillow because it has a flat back portion that conforms to your neck and doesn’t push your head forward. It also shrinks down to 1/4 size so you don’t have to have it bouncing, clipped on to the backpack or carry-on.

Compression Socks

I was getting tired of big puffy ankles and feet after long flights so I broke down and bought a pair of compression socks. Compression socks improve circulation and may decrease the risk of blood clots. Plus, they keep your feet warm! Nuff said.

An all in one passport holder

It’s nice to be able to have everything in one place so when you are going through TSA you don’t have to dig through your purse every time. This passport holder is from Nomad Lane and we just love the design. Makes traveling seamless and easy.

SPF

Fuck Cancer. Protect your beautiful skin. Use Sunscreen.

Rosebud salve lip balm

Ugh this stuff is lip gold! We cant get enough lip balm when we travel.

Lavender, Chamomile facial, aloe spray

Yes I am that annoying person on the plane with essential oils. This facial stray is so refreshing after a long flight and smells delicious dammit!

We use these ones from Mario Badescu.

A journal

Because aren’t we on our phones enough. We love our phones and we are thankful for technology but sometimes its nice to hold, flip through and jot down your intimate thoughts in paper back form.

We absolutely LOVE this one from our friends Axel and Ash ! They are our go to for  travel journals and accessories!

Stainless steel water bottle

Staying hydrated is so important while traveling. We keep our water cold with Hydro Flask. Hydro Flask originates from one of our favorite places in the world; Bend Oregon. Unlike plastic water bottles or single wall stainless bottles, Hydro Flask will keep your beverage of choice at your preferred temperature for hours, whether you choose hot, cold or room temperature liquids. All Hydro Flask products feature a lifetime warranty and are double wall vacuum insulated.

Hydro Flask is committed to bringing you unexpected refreshment, wherever your adventures take you. And that’s why we love them!

Flux Charger Plus

It’s slimmer than a smartphone, but with 10,000 mAh of charging power and built-in micro-USB and lightning connecters, this portable battery has more than enough juice to keep multiple gadgets going strong. We love our Flux Charger Plus!

Skyroam portable Wifi

I mean, it’s nice to disconnect and get in touch with nature but most of our travel is for work so we need to stay connected!

With Skyroam Solis we are able to connect from 131 amount of countries in one click.

AND they just launched their data plan too for just $9/ mo!!!

We cant say enough about Skyroam, But if you wanna know more check out this blog all about them!

Cute sunnies

Necessity.

Sun Hat

Man I’m guilty of making Leo carry around 5 big ass hats for a trip (that I didn’t want to smash packing) but only end up wearing one.

Finding that one hat an be tricky. This Frye Campus Hat is clutch. You can dress it up or dress it own! It looks amazing in instagram pics and gets all the complements!

Vitamins

Because germs. No one likes to be sick when your on vacation! We relay heavily on Wellness Formula to keep our immune systems up and feeling good while away!

Unlike other brands single-action formulas, the ingredients in Wellness Formula work deeply at the cellular level to provide support for the multiple, interdependent body systems that impact immune health.

Joy Mangano My Little Steamer Go Mini

Kai bath products

We like to bring the island everywhere we go! Thats why we always travel with kai! If you want to know more about this lovely product, check out our blog on them!

Watch out, We ARE the Vacation!

Herschel Supply Co. Standard Issue Travel System

Travel cubes are a real life changer. No more shoving clothes in the luggage and hoping it all fits. We love this set from Herschel Supply Co. It even comes with a wet / dry bag for your bathing suits!

Camera Bag

MegaGear Genuine Leather Camera Messenger Bag for Mirrorless, Instant and DSLR Camera Ideal for traveling, outdoor photo sessions, and the occasional impulsive shoot, this camera tote boasts a 53.1 inch removable and adjustable shoulder strap for comfortable crossbody style.

It’s also low-key so you’re not walking around with a big ol’ camera in a new place.

Luggage

Cant say enough good things about IFLY Luggage!! We love their design, their functionality and most importantly their price point! We looked high and low for luggage that was great quality but wouldn’t break the bank! When we found IFLY, Their motto is, Your luggage shouldn’t cost more than your plane ticket and we couldn’t agree more!!!

You can even charge your phone with your carry on!

Weekender

Now this bag right here has changed our lives! Lo & Son’s has designed this bag with the adventurous weekend warrior in mind! We both have the Catalina Deluxe Large and absolutely love them!!!! Leo’s is Black and mine is Rose.

Thoughtful features and a place for all your essentials, The Catalina Deluxe is designed for life on the road. One thing we love about this weekender is it has a suitcase handle sleeve.

Travel seamlessly with a convenient pass through sleeve that secures your bag to a suitcase.

There is a bottom pocket! Designed to keep your shoes or dirty clothes separate from clean clothes.

The Catalina Deluxe has a bunch of exterior & interior pockets! Easy to access pockets on the outside and multiple pockets on the inside to keep your essentials securely stored.

Super Spacious

Available in 2 sizes, The Catalina Deluxe will fit everything you need for the next big vacation but also carry-on friendly!

While it doesn’t qualify as a personal item, depending on the airline it does qualify as a carry-on item and fits in most airplane overhead compartments. As far as airline seats; When not fully packed, it fits underneath airline seats.

We also love the high-quality materials. Available in 2 premium quality durable yet lightweight canvas options.

Lightweight

Crafted from materials that balance durability with comfort to make your trip easy on the back and shoulders.

 This is definitely a new staple in our travel routine!

We hope you have enjoyed reading through our Travel Essentials!!
