AirFly SE Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter Adapter

Twelve South

Most airlines don’t support Bluetooth audio yet, so this little device is a game-changer. Just plug it in and connect your wireless headphones — no cords, no hassle.

AirTag 4 pack

Apple

I never check a bag without slipping an AirTag inside. Whether my luggage is delayed, misplaced, or just slow to hit the carousel, I always know exactly where it is.

Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw

Owala

We love this water bottle both at home and on the road. We refill it at the airport to avoid overpriced bottled water, and it keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours.

🥤 Our Go-To Water Bottle

Everyday Sneakers

Allbirds

Kara and I both choose to travel with All Birds for two main reasons. First, they collapse flat which means they take up minimal space inside of your bag. Second, they’re super light and comfortable!

Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Bose

There's no better feeling than sinking into your seat, putting on your headphones, and letting the rumble of the jet drift away. If you don't have a pair of noise-cancelling headphones yet, these ones are super effective and extremely comfortable — even for long-haul flights.

24L Travel Backpack

Cotopaxi

This Cotopaxi has literally been my ride or die luggage for the past fews years. It's super durable, it feels light even when fully packed and it still counts as a "personal item" on budget airlines, which is not the case for all Cotopaxi backpacks. If you're looking for a new backpack for travel (or just for life), this is a great option!

Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon

We’re book nerds, but let’s be real — lugging around a stack of novels just isn’t realistic when traveling. The Kindle Paperwhite is ultra-lightweight, compact, and lets us carry an entire library in one sleek device.

The Original Unisex Adventure Belt

Arcade

This belt is a must-have on the road — it's lightweight, super comfortable, and the non-metal buckle means I can breeze through TSA screenings.

The Bigger Carry-On

Away

We both LOVE this bag! It somehow fits everything we need, still counts as a carry-on, and comes with a lifetime warranty, which makes it even better.

Carry-On Suitcase

LEVEL8

Sometimes, you just need more than a backpack for your trip! This carry-on is super sleek and sturdy — so not only will you look good rolling it through the airport, but you'll know your belongings will always be protected with its hard-shell aluminum frame.

PRVKE Photography Travel Backpack

WANDRD

We have been carrying these backpacks for several years. They look great, carry a ton of gear, and are super durable. We’d highly recommend this bag if you’re looking for a backpack to hold camera gear as well as other essentials.
