Who doesn’t love traveling? There’s something about being at home one day and the next day being someplace entirely different and more exciting that just makes the soul sing. And the memories that come with all of that traveling are something that can be treasured forever. Some of my favorite trips have brought me one good photograph and hundreds of memories.
Because I love traveling and have done it so much in the last few years, I’ve managed to curate a pretty terrific list of the best travel gear and accessories. Locks to keep things safe, portable batteries to keep things juiced, and so much more are on this list as my gift to you, fellow traveler, so you can embrace the journey with far less stress and headache.

The coolest thing about these packing cubes is that they really help to squeeze together all those things you’ve gotta pack up, keeping everything as close and cozy as possible so you’ve got as much space as possible. Plus, it helps keep you organized and ready to go!

When you head out to travel, you’re going to bring shoes with you, obviously. That’s why you’re going to want these shoe bags. They’ll help you keep things organized and keep all your clothes as clean as possible when you pack up.
Your Travel’s On Lock
If you’re traveling further than a couple of hours away, odds are you’re catching a flight. And, if you’re catching a flight, you’re dealing with TSA. These cable luggage locks have a resettable combination and, most important, are TSA approved. Choose an easy-to-remember three-digit code and enjoy security with the rugged flexibility of a tightly braided alloy cable lock.
Juice on the Go
I can’t say enough good things about this mini portable charger that has the cable built in. This ultra-compact option doesn’t require cords or cables (or for you to even stop what you’re doing to find an outlet). It’s a 3350mAh capacity, which isn’t the largest you’ll find, but when you’re trekking down the sidewalk or the hiking trail, you’re only going to care about enough juice to get you to the next spot.
Diffuse On the Go
Car trips can be pretty stressful, but they don’t have to be! Instead of spending time yelling in the car because traffic is insane, why don’t you add this incredible travel diffuser to your car and spend your time stuck in traffic relaxing and taking a little time for yourself?
One Bag To Rule Them All
Not a fanny pack kind of person? I get that. I often prefer to overpack an enormously-sized purse myself. I might trade it in for one this convertible backpack, though, and I love that pictured color named “portabello shimmer.” This bag has a matching removable wristlet and a luggage handle sleeve for easier maneuvering. It’s lightweight and water-resistant, too, for extra brownie points.
Put Your Back(pack) Into It
Here’s another travel hack you can file under “Look, ma! No hands!” This travel backpack is the carry-on bag of your dreams because it’s expandable, holds up to a 17-inch laptop, and has zippered pouches and pockets galore. You’ll love the easy-reach port for charging and listening to your favorite music as well as the included toiletry bags for pulling your liquids out at the security checkpoint. (Seriously, get TSA Pre-Check and you don’t have to do that.)
Leader Of The Pack
I cannot stress the importance of this one critical thing that’s travel’s unsung hero: Your hands. There’s nothing like having your hands free when you’re sightseeing or navigating through the airport. This fanny pack for men or women is compact but has all the pockets you’ll need to easily carry your phone, passport, wallet and more. I love the dedicated headphone cord port the most.

Look, I’m sure there’s a spot or two that doesn’t have room for this silicone, foldable water bottle, but not many! It’s a great choice for those trips that require as much packing space as possible or those long walks that end in more workouts that you’d much rather pack light for.

Cord’s take up way too much space, and lord knows we’ve got to keep far too many on us these days. Luckily, this awesome cable organizer exists to help you keep all of those loopy cords tucked away safely so you can keep your bags as organized as possible.
These Travel Hangers are Way Cool
