Traveling Checklist : Things we can't travel without

We’ve been fortunate to have travelled extensively in our lives already and plan to do a lot more. There’s certain things we just never travel without and we want to share them with you to make your experiences better. Make sure to add these items on your traveling checklist.

 

eoghan’s must haves

  1. Bose QuietComfort Noise-Cancelling Headphones - Possibly one of the best purchases I made in 2018. They are amazing at blocking out airplane noise and watching movies/tv on planes. Not only do I use them for travel but also for working on the road (or in the office) to block out those gossiping co-workers and noisy coffee shops.

  2. Ostrich Neck pillow - Life changing neck pillow! It has that soft-jersey cotton and comes up high so your neck has support. Definitely worth the price tag.

  3. Transferwise Debit Card - This is a multi-currency debit card that I always travel with. You get great exchange rates and save tens of dollars when converting to the currency of your choice.

  4. Vapur collapsible water bottle - It rolls up into next to nothing when empty, which comes in handy when space is at a premium. I also like that it has a clip to attach to your backpack.

 

kelly’s must haves

  1. Thinx underwear - Literally life changing. I never have to worry about how many tampons to pack or find corner stores in foreign countries hoping that they will have some period products. I travel with four pairs and can wash and rewear them as I need.

  2. Anker Powercore Portable Charger - What can I say! I like to take a lot of photos and videos! And therefore my phone dies all the time!!

  3. White Tee - I love clothes but what I have learned is things get ruined while traveling for a long period of time, and I normally buy new clothes while traveling and then have no room in my suitcase! I try to pack basic staples like a white tee, jeans, gray sweater that are inexpensive and easily replaceable. This way if they get ruined - oh well! And if I find a cute dress then don’t feel bad about taking out something from my suitcase and leaving it behind (or donating it to a thrift store/recycling it at a local H&M or Zara).

  4. Medicine bag - I love to travel but am terrified of throw up. Therefore I have created the ultimate medicine bag to cure basic issues while traveling.

    1. Advil - Always good to have around.

    2. Pepto Bismol - At the first sign of gurgles I take Pepto Bismol.

    3. Imodium - Just in case!! Don’t want the runs to ruin your trip.

    4. Culturelle probiotic - I take one in the morning to help my body stay regular.

    5. Peppermint oil pills - Peppermint oil is a natural way to help upset stomachs.

    6. Sleeping pills - With time zones and weird schedules it is nice to have sleeping pills to help you get to sleep quicker.

    7. Motion sickness pills - I rarely feel motion sickness but you never know when you get on a boat that is just way too rocky.

    8. Ear ache drops - When my ears start to hurt then my whole balance and body feel off. These have helped me so much in many different occasions.
