Noise-cancelling headphones.ABSOLUTE essential for noisy cafes, airports, or just focusing in a new environment. Sony WH-1000XM series or Bose QC are worth every penny
A universal travel adapter with multiple USB ports. Sounds boring, but you'll thank me when you can charge your laptop, phone, and headphones all at once with one plug in any country.π
My Aeropress coffee maker. Lightweight, durable, and makes a decent cup of coffee anywhere. Hotel coffee is often tragic. This saves my mornings (and money!!!!) βοΈπ
One of my must-have items for travel β or even just minimalist packing β is a lightweight, quick-drying travel towel. Microfiber is the clear winner: it dries super fast, weighs almost nothing, and packs down ridiculously small β perfect if you're trying to keep your luggage lean. Its incredibly versatile: beach days, hostel showers, gym sessions, spontaneous swims, and Iβve even used mine as a makeshift blanket on freezing buses or in over-air-conditioned airports. Some people overlook it because itβs not glamorous gear, but once youβve used one, you donβt go back to regular bulky towels. Bonus: many come with loops or pouches for easy hang-drying, which is a lifesaver when youβre on the moveπ¬
A portable SSD drive for backups... Lost my laptop once...never again. Cloud is great but local backup gives peace of mind. Plus, extra storage for photos/videos!
A good e-reader (Kindle Paperwhite for me). Access to tons of books without the weight. Perfect for long flights or downtime. And the battery lasts forever
Solid toiletries! Shampoo bars, solid conditioner, solid sunscreen. No spills, less plastic, and lasts ages. Game changer for carry-on only travel. π§Ό
