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!

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.

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.

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!

UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46

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.

PRVKE Photography Travel Backpack

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.

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.

Carry-On Suitcase

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.
