Stay Organized

  • Everyone has their own methods of packing. Some of us roll clothes and others do a chaotic packing dance the night before flying out. Try the 8 Set Packing Cubes (Amazon) and organize your clothes by type: shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, socks, swimwear, etc. Your clothes will stay nice and tidy in your luggage even if TSA decides to take a peek.
     
  • One of my pet peeves is dirty shoes in luggage. Rather than using an old grocery bag, further isolate your sweaty or dirty shoes in these Travel Shoe Bags Set (Amazon).

  • If you're looking for a new carry-on bag, check out my absolute favorite Travel Duffel Bag (Amazon). The entire inside is lined in plastic so even if you're caught in the rain your passport, phone, etc are dry. Comes in a variety of colors. I personally use this in my travels all the time. Highly recommend!

  • Ready to upgrade your Ziploc quart sized bag to something sturdier? Check out the ANRUI TSA Approved Toiletry Bag (Amazon). The bags are clear, crinkle-free, and leave plenty of room for your inflight must-have liquids.
Toiletries, Health, and Beauty

  • Not sure if it's the recycled air while flying, but my hair always needs to be refreshed before landing. If you have the same issue, check out Batiste Dry Shampoo. Works incredibly well by spraying your roots and combing through. It will also let you stretch out the number of days in-between washings. This size is only 1.06 Fl OZ so you can throw it in your carry-on.

  • If your flight is overnight or you're traveling via train between countries the Crest Scope Mini Brushes (Amazon) are the perfect way to freshen your breath without struggling with a tube and toothbrush in a public bathroom. So convenient!

  • These makeup remover wipes are pretty famous, chances are you have a pack at home. Here are the travel sized Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes Singles (Amazon). Toss one or two in your bag and you're set.
     
  • These Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizers (Amazon) come in unique colors and scents if you're looking for an alternative to the chemical smelling Purell. Definitely handy before having your inflight beverage.

  • Avoid sand fleas and mosquitos off and on the beach with Repel 100 Insect Repellent (Amazon). This stuff is pretty strong.
     
  •  Dirty clothes? Try these Tide Sink Packs Laundry Detergent (Amazon). Each packet is 0.51 FL OZ so they're the perfect amount for a small load.

  • Don't overpay for this at the airport! I know I forget, too. Grab your Orbit Assorted Sugar Free Gum now.
Gadgets and Other Gear

  • Probably THE most important item on this list! Make sure you order this Power Travel Plug Adaptor (Amazon) before your Euro Trip. If you're traveling with others consider ordering a couple, one for items used in the bathroom, like a hair straightener, and one by your nightstand for charging electronics.

  • Want to sleep on the plane or the train? Tune out sounds with these Mack's Ultra Soft Foam Ear Plugs (Amazon).

  • Remember when airlines would hand out blankets for free? Stay comfortable and warm with the Bedelite Travel Blanket (Amazon). It's 65"x40" and comes with a pouch you can fold it back into when not in use. It's also available in a couple different colors.

  • Don't get stuck in your hotel room charging your phone. Make sure you bring a power bank like this INIU Portable Charger (Amazon) so you can seize the day.

  • Want to take a selfie, but you're by the water?  Or perhaps IN the water? Use one of these Floating Waterproof Phone Pouches (Amazon) to avoid any phone mishaps.
Optional Accessories and Clothes

You might have some of these items at home, but they're important to mention.

  • Touring a church or cathedral? Make sure you take a shawl with you like this lightweight shawl or this heavier weight wrap (Amazon). Religious buildings require modesty and it's very important to keep bare shoulders and knees covered.

  • Spending a day by the water? I really like the Cupshe brand. They've got a huge assortment of coverups like this V-Neck Mini Dress and many swimwear options like this One Piece Swimsuit (Amazon).

  • If you're trying to stay out of the sun avoid you can avoid looking a little less like a tourist by ditching the baseball cap and opting for a woven hat like the Furtalk Panama Sun Hat (Amazon).
