Must-Have Travel Items
Travel Tray
I almost always start off with this one because it is the one I love the most and is always in my backpack so that no matter what length trip I’m taking I’ll always have it with me!
It’s perfect for holding your keys, wallet, phone, chapstick, change.
Basically all the little stuff you might have in your pockets that you’ll need to take out at the end of the day.
It keeps everything in one spot so it is easier not to lose them.
For me, I keep mine on the bedside table.
It holds my glasses, chapstick (never have to worry about it falling on the floor again!), and cellphone at night.

RFID Card Protectors
Have you ever seen these little guys?
They are one of the easiest ways to protect your identity, especially when you’re in close quarters like airports, airplanes, train stations, taxi lines, walking through crowded cities or markets.
And they are so simple to use.
Just slide your credit cards or other id cards into its own sleeve and you’re on your way.
Oh, this set comes with three passport sleeves too 🙂
You’ll never have to worry about someone stealing your digital identity again.
Luggage Tags
Everyone needs a good luggage tag!
Not only will it help you identify your luggage when traveling, but it will help verify that the luggage you have with you is yours!
How many times have you been at the airport or in a hotel and seen other bags similar to yours?
Both of these luggage tags below are on my Zazzle page and both can be customized for you.

Carry-On
Having fun while traveling, at least for some of us means being organized.
A great carry-on can help accomplish that.
Now, you have several options: A backpack, a duffel, a messenger bag or your traditional roll-on bag.
My suggestion, a great swivel/spinner carry-on that will fit under seats on airplanes.
My brother recently handed us down one of his and, I won’t lie, it’s kinda become one of my favorite travel accessories.
The spinner wheels make it super easy to maneuver.
All the pockets and compartments allow you to be amazingly organized!
Its size gives you flexibility whether you’d rather have it under your feet or above you in the bins.
For that matter, as you board and disembark, you won’t have any problems getting through the aisles.
But it surprisingly has more space inside for all your things than you’d think.
Clothes with hidden pockets
Along with having your credit cards and ids in their RFID sleeve protectors having a way to keep those on your person and have them be secure may be another issue.
Why not just wear them.
Wear your valuables while traveling to keep them safer!
And I’m not talking about using a money belt, although there is nothing wrong with those.
I’m talking about wearing a cute scarf that has a hidden pocket in it so not only will you be able to adjust to all the temperature changes on the plane or airport you’ll know you have your valuables on you but other won’t!
Or for the men, how about a convertible pant?
Whether they’re going somewhere warm and want shorts or prefer long pants these are ideal.
With a zippered pocket and a UPF 50 they’ll be ready to go.
And there it is, 5 must-have travel items for every trip.
