Portable Charger
I cannot get my phone battery to last! I have both Android and iPhone and with all the background apps running, I usually have to charge it at least once per day. Especially while traveling, there is not outlets nearby so I love having this charger to save the day.
Last year, I recommended a similar portable charger that had two output cables, one which was shared with USB C and micro USB. Since I use my phone so much and iPhones recently converted to USB C, holding a phone with the micro USB by the base of the charging port was not comfortable. I recommend this charger which has separate cables so that your hand can hold the phone without running into the sharp pointy edges of another output option. The downside is there is no built in wall plug.
If you are looking for a charger with larger capacity, this one has 33800 mAh comes with a built-in wall plug. The downside it is thicker so if you have small hands, it is not ideal to hold both the charger and the phone.
Travel Organizer
As I traveled more and more, I accumulated more items in my toiletry bag. It got to a point where I would get frustrated because I couldn’t find something (and have to dump out the entire toiletry bag).
I got this travel organizer and I love it. When I was searching, I found other cute ones but I am glad I got this one which has two zippers at the top because it keeps me even more organized. The hanger at the top is perfect on a towel rack. The clear sections help to find where items are until you get familiar with where you put things. It does take up more room than my original toiletry bag but I rather have everything organized and in one place. It also helps me see if I need to restock on anything.
Phone Wallet Case with Kickstand
Having a wallet on your phone makes traveling light really easy. While many places take Apple Pay or Google Pay, cards/cash are still needed so I love this phone case for traveling. Previously, I had tried the magnetic wallet case (do not recommend because it is really easy to knock loose and lose it) and the Slayer one that I recommended last year. This one is better because it comes with a kickstand so it makes watching TV on the phone really nice, especially on a flight.
I also really enjoy it for the design of where the cards are, on the kickstand. The kickstand lifts up and then you can charge your phone on a Magsafe charger which I couldn’t do before with the Slayer case since the cards were in the way. I had to take off the case which was annoying.
The downside of the wallet is that it holds 3 cards unless I stretch it out. Once stretched, I have to always keep that many cards else one will fall out. In the back, I currently have to keep two cards. When I pull out one, if it is upside down, my other card sometimes falls out. Since I know that, I am just careful not to turn it upside down until I have replaced the card in there.
Rolling Backpack
If you travel a lot with a heavy backpack, a rolling backpack is nice to keep in your suitcase options. Sometimes I only travel with a backpack and it would be nice if I didn’t have to carry it on my back around the airport when it is heavy.
I have the 17-inch version. It comes with multiple zippered sections for organizing easier. It is also waterproof, making it more durable. There is an 18-inch version but for the price, I rather pay for the 17-inch.
