Essential Travel Items

 

What’s in our Bags?

Packing for full-time travel (or even shorter trips!) requires a balance of efficiency, versatility, and practicality. With limited space and a need to stay organized on the go, choosing the right items can make all the difference in your journey. Whether you're navigating airport security, hopping between destinations, or simply aiming to travel light, there are certain must-have essentials that seasoned travellers swear by. From space-saving solutions to handy gadgets and non-liquid toiletries, these items will help you stay prepared, comfortable, and stress-free, no matter where your adventures take you. Here's a breakdown of the essentials every traveller should pack. These are items we never travel without no matter what type of trip we’re heading on.

 Toiletries

Toiletries are often the things you don’t account for but can really add up. When you’re doing carry-on only they often can add up quickly, and many full size bottles can take up a lot of much needed space. One of the best pieces of advice we can give is to try to find any item in a small, solid version.
