THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!
As a professional travel advisor, you can imagine, I travel A LOT! And over the years, thru much trial and error, I have some products that have become my “must haves” when I travel. So many of these were recommended to me by other travel professionals, and wow, they have been life changing. Seeing as AMAZON PRIME DAY is upon us, ending October 14th, I thought I would share some of my favorite items with you!
I am making it super easy for you to shop as well, with links to each product! So let’s get started!
FULL DISCLOSURE: I get a small percentage of the sale if you use the link, but I promise these are my must haves when I travel!
LIFE CHANGER!! COMPRESSION PACKING CUBES
OK, so, I am obsessively organized and that includes organizing my luggage. The beauty of packing cubes is you can take them right from your suitcase and put them in the drawers in your hotel room. If you are more of an adventure traveler, always on the move, these help to keep your duffle organized as well, making things easy to find. What makes these different?? COMPRESSION! Pack your cube and use the extra zipper so your cubes take even less space in your suitcase! BRILLIANT! CLICK PHOTO TO SHOP, prime price is $16.76
BRIGGS AND RILEY EXPANDABLE COMPRESSION CARRY ON!
You might notice a “compression” theme here! THIS SUITCASE IS GENIUS! When packing, there is a mechanism inside that lifts the sides for more space when you pack. When you close the suitcase? The compression gives you upto 25% more packing space! I hate checking bags, so this is the perfect carry on, holds almost as much as my “other brand” standard size luggage, and Briggs and Riley is the highest rated quality luggage with a lifetime warranty. It’s an investment for sure? But the best one I have ever made. Click photo to shop, $289.50 on Amazon
Cute compression socks satisfy both form and function!
If you haven’t heard? Compression socks are important to wear on airplanes, especially those long flights, where you stay seated for many hours! Improves circulation, helps tired feet, reduces swelling, and more! I do not get on a plane without them! Click photo to shop, price depends on size and color!

Yes, we all have a million of these, but throw them all away and just keep this one! I promise it’s the best one out there!

THE BEST CARRY ON EVER!
I have struggled for years to find the perfect carry-on bag. Look no more! This one is stylish, functional, and incredibly durable! Super roomy inside with a lot of organizing compartments, it has two MAJOR features for travel: A strap on the back that slides over your luggage handle (saves you from back pain!) AND? There is a pass thru for a charging cord, so you can hold your phone and charge on the go! LOVE THAT! The price is unreal at $23.99, click photo to shop!
