Travel Essentials: Must-Have Items for Your Next Adventure

Packing the right travel essentials is important. Whether flying to Europe, going to a tropical island, or skiing this winter, it can help make your trip smooth and enjoyable. In this journal, we’ll explore must-have items that are tried, tested, and guaranteed to enhance your holiday experience.

The Versatile Travel Bag 

Our top travel essential is a versatile multipurpose travel bag. This bag will effortlessly transition from plane to land transportation, sightseeing, local attractions, shopping, and dining.

Find a strong, lightweight bag that serves many purposes. It should have different strap options for easy carrying, and a zipper to keep your things safe. 

Recommended Bags: Base Supply Take It Base Bag, Saben Paris Tote, Saben Porter Tote

For a smaller option, check out the Base Supply Mini Base Bag. You can also look at Saben’s smaller bags, like the Nikko or Tilly. The Orbitkey Urban Sling Bag is another excellent choice for the organised traveller.

Protect Your Documentation & Phone 

Nothing is more frustrating than losing travel documentation, phone or having your credit cards scammed. 

Consider using Saben’s Linz Passport Holder to keep your essential items secure. The design keeps your important travel documents safe. It has a special pocket for your passport and slots for your travel cards. 

For additional security, invest in a Secrid card protector or wallet. This minimalist wallet features a patented mechanism for easy card access and durable aluminium casing, protecting against bending and unwanted wireless communication (RFID safe).

Handy Phone Accessories 

Keep your phone close and your hands free with a Cantermelon classic resin phone chain, designed for cross-body wear.

Lightweight Layering Essentials 

Travelling often means dealing with unpredictable weather, so lightweight, versatile warm layering pieces are essential. 

The Alashan Topper feels soft and versatile. You can wear it in multiple ways while adding a pop of colour to your outfits. If you like a fitted style, check out the Standard Issue Merino V-Neck Cardigan. It is lightweight and great for layering.

For comfortable travel pants, check out Marlow's Departure Pant. These stylish pants have a stretchy waistband and zippered pockets. They are perfect for travel and look great.

Staying Hydrated on the Go 

Air travel can often result in dehydration. To stay refreshed, skip the coffee, drink alcohol in moderation, and always carry your water bottle.

We recommend the chic Kinto Loop or the Kinto Active Loop Water Bottle. Both are made from clear, high-quality materials, are lightweight, and have a sleek design that combines style and function.

Protect Your Skin 

Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is essential when embarking on new adventures. 

We Are Feel Good Sunscreen is a non-negotiable part of our travel essentials kit. Their SPF50+ water-resistant range suits all skin types, ensuring you stay safe from the sun while exploring.

Quick-Drying Towels 

Finally, don't forget to pack Dock and Bay towels, made from 100% recycled plastic. They are absorbent, fast-drying, and come in a compact bag, making them ideal for travellers and explorers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, packing the right travel essentials can significantly enhance your travel experience, ensuring comfort, safety, and style. You'll be well-equipped for any journey with versatile bags, secure document holders, essential layering pieces, and hydration solutions. 

Prioritise skin protection and select lightweight, quick-drying towels to boost your convenience as you explore exciting new destinations.

Investing in good travel gear helps you make great memories. You can enjoy every moment of your trip, no matter where you go. 

Prepare thoughtfully, travel wisely, and embrace the excitement of discovering the beautiful world around you! Happy travels!
