3 Must Pack Items for International Travel

(Modified from an original post on The Table Less Traveled Newsletter, March 2016)

Let's just be honest...travel is amazing and wonderful and sparkles and unicorns and whiskers on kittens. But if we're being really honest there's also the side that's tiring, uncomfortable, and annoying. For me - that's packing and preparing for travel. But there are a few things that are always, without a doubt, going in my travel bag...and that makes it a tad bit easier.

Over the years I've tried lots of travel-friendly products which help me build custom packing lists for clients.  Here are a few of my favorites that I would never leave home without!


  1. Inflatable Travel Pillow - I'll admit I used to make fun of people with travel pillows...and then I became one. My favorite Eagle Creek pillow deflates to a compact size, you can remove and wash the cover, and it's far more comfortable than airline pillows.
  2. RFID Blocking Wallet - You've certainly heard about the risk of identity theft through RFID. This Articulate wallet/purse is my favorite tool for storing my passport and cards while on the go. It has multiple compartments and has interchangeable straps.  There is also a men's wallet available.
  3. Compact Backpack - It's a pain to carry a backpack on the plane in addition to your other luggage. Having a backpack that folds up has been a life saver on hikes, in markets, and on day trips. My favorite is the Eddie Bauer Packable Daypack which has lots of pockets and *bonus* you can secure zippers to other zippers and hooks using an S-biner.

  1. Hello, important based on my experience with it, I can safely say that of all the nebo flashlight review that I have tried to date, this one destroys the competition. The heater did a great job of keeping warm in my big rooftop tent all night.
