Travel Adapter

NEWVANGA

There’s nothing worse than arriving in a new country only to discover your plugs don’t fit. That’s why we always travel with this universal adapter — it covers nearly every country and keeps our devices charged no matter where we land.

🔌 Our Go-To Universal Adapter

325 Power Bank

Anker

This portable charger is a lifesaver on the road—its large capacity means we can charge our phones multiple times without scrambling for an outlet. It’s compact, powerful, and lets us charge two devices at once, so we’re always ready for whatever the travel day throws at us.

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.

UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46

EltaMD

This travel-sized sunscreen is perfect for staying protected on the road. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn’t leave a white cast — plus, it plays nice with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

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.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds

Apple

Look, I used to be a Bose girl all the way, but when I'm living out of my backpack (which is usually the case), these take up way less room and still have solid noise-canceling abilities. They’ve become my go-to and make working from cafes so much sweeter.

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.

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.

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.

28L Travel Backpack

Thule

The Thule Aion backpack is my go-to option when I don't plan on traveling with a carry-on suitcase. It's expandable to 32L, which offers 15% more packable space (yay!), and its main divider feature allows you to unzip it fully just like a suitcase — perfect for easy packing.
