UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46

EltaMD

This travel-sized sunscreen is perfect for staying protected on the road. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn’t leave a white cast — plus, it plays nice with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon

We’re book nerds, but let’s be real — lugging around a stack of novels just isn’t realistic when traveling. The Kindle Paperwhite is ultra-lightweight, compact, and lets us carry an entire library in one sleek device.

Everyday Sneakers

Allbirds

Kara and I both choose to travel with All Birds for two main reasons. First, they collapse flat which means they take up minimal space inside of your bag. Second, they’re super light and comfortable!

Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds

Apple

Look, I used to be a Bose girl all the way, but when I'm living out of my backpack (which is usually the case), these take up way less room and still have solid noise-canceling abilities. They’ve become my go-to and make working from cafes so much sweeter.

28L Travel Backpack

Thule

The Thule Aion backpack is my go-to option when I don't plan on traveling with a carry-on suitcase. It's expandable to 32L, which offers 15% more packable space (yay!), and its main divider feature allows you to unzip it fully just like a suitcase — perfect for easy packing.

325 Power Bank

Anker

This portable charger is a lifesaver on the road—its large capacity means we can charge our phones multiple times without scrambling for an outlet. It’s compact, powerful, and lets us charge two devices at once, so we’re always ready for whatever the travel day throws at us.

Carry-On Suitcase

LEVEL8

Sometimes, you just need more than a backpack for your trip! This carry-on is super sleek and sturdy — so not only will you look good rolling it through the airport, but you'll know your belongings will always be protected with its hard-shell aluminum frame.

Travel Adapter

NEWVANGA

There’s nothing worse than arriving in a new country only to discover your plugs don’t fit. That’s why we always travel with this universal adapter — it covers nearly every country and keeps our devices charged no matter where we land.

PRVKE Photography Travel Backpack

WANDRD

We have been carrying these backpacks for several years. They look great, carry a ton of gear, and are super durable. We’d highly recommend this bag if you’re looking for a backpack to hold camera gear as well as other essentials.

Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Bose

There's no better feeling than sinking into your seat, putting on your headphones, and letting the rumble of the jet drift away. If you don't have a pair of noise-cancelling headphones yet, these ones are super effective and extremely comfortable — even for long-haul flights.

AirTag 4 pack

Apple

I never check a bag without slipping an AirTag inside. Whether my luggage is delayed, misplaced, or just slow to hit the carousel, I always know exactly where it is.
