My Travel Essentials List

---

I love travelling, and I love trying out travel gadgets, and perfecting my collection of travel must-haves.

I get asked for recommendations quite a lot via social media and comments, so I thought I’d create a list of my travel must-haves to refer people to! These are my tried and tested travel companions!

Carry-on suitcase for weekend trips

I love this carry on suitcase, it’s soft, looks great, and fits so much! I prefect soft cases for carry-on cases, as they’re easier to fit into the overhead compartments or under the seat.

---

In-hold suitcase for longer trips

This is the in-hold luggage suitcase I’d recommend, it’s a great choice and ticks all my boxes. It’s hard shell, 4-wheel, stylish, eye-catching (important so you don’t lose baggage in the claim area!).

---

Travel backpack (I love anything by Fjallraven!)

I just LOVE Fjallraven backpacks. They’re super stylish, but also colourful and full of personality. There’s literally a colour to suit everyone. Also just generally – the bags are a great size and shape for travelling with.

Travel headphones (noise cancelling)

I will only use Bose headphones now, once I switched I couldn’t use any others – they’re so incredibly good. Planes are so noisy and being able to have peace and quiet on the plane really helps me relax. The silence that the Bose headphones provide also really reduce my anxiety on flights too.

These are both seriously amazing choices…

Travel make-up bag

My favourite travel make-up bag is this drawstring, lay flat bag. These styles of bags are soooo handy, especially in hotels. You can just lay flat all your make-up and be able to see everything you need!

---

Packing cubes

If you haven’t used packing cubes before… what have you been doing? They not only organise your suitcase, but make packing easier and space-saving too.

The ones below are the best I’ve used as they feature a compression zip too – meaning you save even more space in your case. They’re so good!

Travel neck pillows

I’m not a fan of the micro-bead or memory foam neck pillows, I much prefer the wrap around (scarf style) or the ‘prop-up’ style. I own both of the pillows below, and love them both, they’re super comfy and supportive without being bulky.

Comfy travel shoes

I have two go-to brands for city breaks and travelling (you know those kind of vacations where you NEED a super comfy pair of shoes). My absolute go-to brands are Skechers and Crocs. I’ve never bought a bad pair of shoes from either of these brands and they’re comfy, supportive and stylish too.

This little pair of sneakers are one of my absolute favourite pairs of shoes. I have this pair in 5 COLOURS (I’m that obsessed). I wear them everywhere. They have memory foam in the sole too – so comfy for hours on your feet.

These boat shoes are also perfect for long days on your feet, they’re a little more supportive than the sneakers above (the soles are a bit thicker) but they’re not quite as versatile. But still a winning pair of shoes that I adore.

And then, of course, Crocs! And no, Crocs don’t have to be those hideous clunky sandals. They actually have some gorgeous simpler styles, with the same comfy materials and foam soles.

I own all the pairs below and love them all. They’ve seen me through 10 hour days in Disneyland and walking the entire length of Manhatten! These are seriously some of the comfiest sandals and shoes you can buy for your feet!
